You may go to karaoke or disco clubs with your friends

during the summer holidays. But be careful. These exciting

places may also have people selling small, colorful pills. Make

The seller may say they are safe and can help you enjoy

yourself or escape from sadness. They may even offer you a

free try, and tell you that everybody is using them.

But you must be alert to the fact that these drugs could

destroy your life.

When you put it in your body, often by swallowing,

breathing in or injecting (注射 ), the drug finds its way to

your brain.

A drug may either speed up or slow down your senses.

The effect is different, depending on body size, shape, and

chemistry. Although it can make you feel good at first, a drug

can do a lot of harm to your body and brain.

One of the most popular drugs in nightclubs is the

“head shaking” or ecstasy pill (摇头丸 ). The drug hits

users with a fast high, making them feel powerful and full

of energy. Heart rate, breathing and blood pressure

increase and this increase could cause organ damage or

even death .

Marijuana (大麻 ) is a widely used illegal drug. It is

called the gateway drug, because using it sometimes leads

to harder drugs. It is mostly smoked in a cigarette form.

Cocaine (可卡因 ) is white powder made from the

dried leaves of the coca plant. It changes your brain and

the way you think. First time users have been known to

suffer heart attacks.

Heroin (海洛因 ) comes from the dried milk of the

opium poppy (罂粟 ) flower. It is very easy to become

addicted too. Users feel the need to take more and more

heroin to feel good again.

There is another risk related to taking drugs that must

be avoided. Sharing a needle to inject a drug puts a user at

a very high risk of being infected with HIV/AIDS.

Drugs may appear in many different forms, some

with cool names. But touching them could ruin your health

forever.
