People who take drugs do not always see the real world in front of them. Drugs make things seem different than they really are. People can think they “feel better” or “act better” or are “happier” when they take drugs. But these are false feelings. The drugs hurt their bodies and minds. Don’t let anyone talk you into taking harmful drugs and tell others not to take them.
