drugs of abuse

The term drug abuse defines better what we understand colloquially as a drug: "non-medical substance with psychoactive effects (capable of producing changes in perception, mood, consciousness and behavior) and susceptible to being self-administered." So the difference between a drug and a drug of abuse is not given by pharmacological, chemical or medical criteria, but by two small nuances of instrumental and social type: that is the individual himself who administered the substance without a prescription, and that the objective is different from the cure of a pathology. In fact, some substances can be considered drugs or drugs of abuse depending on the context, like steroids for example. The only drug that maybe could be considered drug of abuse that I’ve consumed is alcohol, nothing more, and not even in high quantity.

So I can’t talk much about the felling of consuming drugs, but the most common reasons that people consume drugs are the social cause, and the pleasure that is filled at the moment of consuming drugs, known by the fact that drugs stimulates or depress the brain, and pleasure moods.

A really bad thing is that drugs usually create dependence on the user, so it’s difficult to stop consuming. And later, to top of the difficulty of stop consuming, appeared the abstinence syndrome if you stop consuming abruptly.

I think almost every university student is an often consumer of drugs, not necessarily an addictive, but drugs becomes necessary at one point of the career, and if consuming drugs doesn't becomes an addiction, is not that bad.
