2. All drugs affect the mind.

When a person thinks of something, he gets a picture of it in his mind. These "mental pictures" are very easy to see for yourself. If you close your eyes for a few seconds and think of a cat, you will get a picture of a cat. The mind takes 25 pictures every second, and files them away to solve problems in life.

 

Normally, when a person remembers something, the mind is very fast, and information comes to him very quickly from pictures in his mind.

 

But drugs blur the pictures. They make the picture dull and cloudy. This causes "blank spots" in the mind.

 

When a person tries to get information through all this blurry mess, he can't do it. Drugs make a person seem slow and stupid. This can cause him to have failures in life. And when he fails in life, what does the person want more of? DRUGS!

"Drug education has a vital task in countering this, but it will only succeed if it has the goal of abstinence - rather than leaving choices about illegal activities to young people."
