Illicit Drugs- Addictions and Consequences

By Darlton Pratt-Lewis

This book chronicles the growing epidemic of drug addiction and its widespread impact around the world. It can equip people of all generations with a thorough knowledge of the harmful effects of drugs and why they must be urgently eradicated from our society. Drugs, whether prescribed by the doctor or for recreational purposes, are not something to be treated lightly. These substances can have adverse effects on the human body if taken for purposes other than intended. In the worst cases, they can even lead to death. However, despite the dangers, people continue ingesting these fatal substances, and this must be stopped.In recent years, this problem has been more commonly spotted in teenagers. Notably, in Africa, a large population of youth seeks refuge in prescription drugs and a few of them seek help for treatment. This book highlights the reasons that lead to addiction and primarily targets the youth, adolescents, teenagers and young adults with a balanced and comprehensive approach. It is primarily for educational purposes so that everyone who thinks about trying drugs can become more aware, and those who are addicted to any form of a drug can learn how they are affecting themselves adversely.
