 IS USING DRUGS
ILLEGAL?

IT DEPENDS.
It depends on what type of drugs that
you’ll use. If you’re about to use drugs
such as club drugs (e.g., Ecstasy (AKA
Molly)), then it’s illegal. However, if
you’ll consume OTC (over-the-counter)
drugs such as aspirin, then it’s legal and
safe to use it.
WHAT ARE TYPES OF DRUGS?

1. The over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are drugs that

don’t need a prescription from a doctor
when buying.
2. However, prescription drugs are the opposite side of
OTC drugs. An official prescription from a doctor
must be shown to the pharmacist in order to be used
LEGALLY.

 STIMULANTS
These are psychoactive drugs that
stimulate the central nervous system,
which is the brain and the spinal cord.
This elicits the user to have elevated
mood, alertness, and awareness.
 DEPRESSANTS
These are anti-psychotic drugs that
depress the central nervous system
creating relaxation, drowsiness, and
sleepiness.
