We have learned today that drugs have an interesting historical background. Besides, we told about the idea that sobriety is not a natural state in human beings, on the contrary, intoxication is more natural for us. In other words, this means that people are surrounded by chemical elements all the time. This is a real statement, however, we must not forget that each kind of drug is really different. Since, there are a lot of types of substances such as: Narcotics, Hypnotics, Stimulants, Inebriants or Hallucinogens.
Drugs have a strong effect over our metabolism. But the important thing is that some drugs are really dangerous and harmful for our health. People used to think about if these chemical elements have to be legal or illegal in our society. Nevertheless, The most outstanding point is try to arise people's consciousness about the negative and mortal effects of drugs. Nowadays, there are a lot of people, specially young people that have a strong addiction to some destructive substances. This is a big problem in our society. Since sometimes drugs have became into a mere fashion. On the other hand, we must also take into account that time ago, some intellectuals used to take chemical substances in order to write or paints art masterpieces. For instance: William Blake or Edgar Allan Poe. Therefore, we could say that it is not only a problem of Modern society.
Finally, I would like to point out that the most important aspect is to be aware of where is the limit of our addiction.In other terms, people must understand that drugs can kill us. Therefore, we should be careful and mature enough to be able to stop in time.
