Card What is ?
Drugs are chemicals that change the way a person's body works. You've probably heard that
drugs are bad for you, but what does that mean and why are they bad? A drug is a broad label given to
any substance that alters the way your brain and body works. Alcohol and cigarettes are drugs that
people of a certain age can use legally. Certain drugs are also illegal, like marijuana and cocaine. Drugs
can be broadly classified based on their chemical properties and side effects. The Dangerous Drugs Board
listed three major drugs of abuse in the Philippines. These are methamphetamime hydrochloride or
“shabu”, cannabis sativa or”marijuana” and inhalants better known as “solvents”. These drugs of abuse
are included in the six classifications of drugs. These drugs are gateway drugs, depressants drugs,
stimulants drugs, narcotics, hallucinogens and inhalants. The use, misuse and abuse of drugs are the
results of various factors surrounding a person. These factors either increase or decrease the possibility
of a person to use drugs.
