Facts
Evidence from both real and simulated driving studies indicates that marijuana can negatively affect a driver's attentiveness, perception of time and speed, and the ability to draw on information obtained from past experiences. Designer drugs are specially crafted imitations of existing drugs and were originally designed to mimic stimulants along with added hallucinogenic or other powerful effects that would escape legal identification. The drugs are created in laboratories or by underground chemists working in their own basements or kitchens. The most popular designer drug nationwide is MDMA, also known as Ecstasy or X. Ecstasy is considered the ultimate social drug and is known as "the hug drug" because it gives users a feeling of empathy and togetherness coupled with an upall- night amphetamine rush. Scientists don't know the full range of damage that Ecstasy and other designer drugs can cause. Research so far indicates that designer drugs such as Ecstasy kill brain cells, can cause Parkinson's disease, increase heart and blood pressure, and affect the fluid in the spinal column. By 1996, 6 percent of high school seniors, 5.6 percent of sophomores, and 3.4 percent of eighth graders had used it. The designer drugs come in the form of pills or powder and can cost between five dollars and twenty-five dollars for a single dose. Depending on the part of the country, some of the other popular designer drugs are Special K, GHB, DMT, Nexus, Cat, Star, and D Meth. These drugs can create intense disorientation and out-of-body hallucinations, and, in the case of DMT, can cause total physical collapse. An Ecstasy party at a dance club.

problem is the drug abuser them self. Every year, more and more people become
drug addicts in their pursuit to get "high".

The body then adapts and develops a tolerance for the drug. The addiction that is produced is so powerful that it creates cravings in the user.
