Summative Response:
When I started my research/blog on Drugs in Your Future I only knew that the whole gist of the thing was that drugs can affect your future over time in every aspect. Mentally, physically, educationally, your life style, career and future family if you want one. I got most of my information from many many different websites because there wasn't that many books in the library about the questions I wanted to know. As in which drugs are good? Which drugs are the worst? How are presription drugs abused? Are drugs addictive? General questions that were related to those ones. Trends that I read more about when I was researching was that at the end of every article I read somewhere it said drugs are bad, and affect how they ruin your future slowly. Maybe not in those exact words, but that's what it was getting at. I read a lot of peoples experiences with different drugs and what happened to them. Some where horrible, and some where really good and successful.
The pro's of drugs are really not that good, other than if you have a disease and are sick they could help you get better. Which are prescribed drugs, and still those even get overly abused. Then on the other hand, there's so many con's. Like, after a long period of time it messes with your brain cells and nerves in your body. It all depends how long you're taking the drug and what drug it is. But in the end, nothing good can come from them.
So eventually drugs can affect your future. As I said before it all depends what you're taking for a drug.

Response to Prescription Drug Abuse.
Prescription Drug Abuse.
A nation survey on Drug Use and Health in 2006 said that amoung all teens around the ages of 12-17 that 6% had tried prescription drugs for fun in one month. Kids mostly and people in general do this because they think its safer and not so addictive as street drugs. But you have to think that prescription drugs are only safe for the people prescribed to them by a doctor. Also the doctor gives them information about the prescribed drug as in how to take it, what side effects it has, how much to take for a dose, what you should aviod while you're on it; like drinking, smoking, or any other not prescribed medications. People may think this is not illegal because they're taking a prescribed drug, but it actually is illegal. Sharing a drug that is prescribed to you and you sharing it with someone else is very illegal.

All You Need To Know About Drugs and Your Brain.
How Drugs can Affect Your Future Illegally:
Well, as you know should know that taking drugs is an illegal activity. Dealing with drugs could cause a pretty long prison sentence, which could be your whole life in prison, it all really depends. And if you just have possession you of any kind of drugs it could only cause you 5 years in prison. Which obviously this will affect your future by jeopardizing your degree, your career you want in life, and just anything you want to do in the future. It all could be gone for drugs.
Also another thing to look at is addiction, say you have been addicted to drugs for awhile now and you just randomly get caught with them. There goes five years of your future down the drain. Plus all the symptoms that come with withdrawel from a drug such as, headaches, depression, and anything you could possibly do to get that drug.

Response to Heroin Fast Facts.
Heroin Fast Facts.
Anyone can use heroin, it's an injection people put in their arm. If you do it too much you can get ganegreen, which is where you'd probably have to get your arm amputated. It effects your mind and brain and kills blood cells, along with white blood cells. And overall just kills your immune system and stuff related to that.

Drugs, Alcohol and Smoking.
- Drugs wear off, but they do cause long term effect on your body.
- Drugs are addictive and hard to quit once you are.
- They effect your mind, and how you make your decisions.
- Drugs are toxic and are not healthy for your body, and some could cause you death if you overdose.
- After a long use of drugs piers could look at you and be able to tell that you do drugs, because of the longterm effect.
- Some teens do drugs because their friends do it, and some because they think they look cool. Some do it because it makes them feel like they're taking a risk and being a rebel from all the people that say drugs are bad.
Response to Amphetamines.
Amphetamines.
Some bad stuff about the drug are it can raise your bloodpressure and make your heartbeat lessen. You can also inject the drug and I guess that goes to your blood system faster so the drug kicks in faster as well. When the weathers hot it's more likely to put your body through bad symptoms of the drug, like the high bloodpressure and heart rate and just bad stuff for your body. They also raise your body tempture too, which is no good. So overall this kind of drug could be the worse, because it just messes up your respiratory system, and you kinda need that.
