Drug Overdose | Drug Overdose | Forum

Keep on talking to him about drugs and the bad things they cause and do to a person.  If you keep an open conversation going, hopefully he won't ever do this.  I know I talk to my daughter all the time about drugs.  I'm hoping that she never decides to try them either.

Many people do not know this, but with drugs that are not prescriptions (street drugs) even taking them once can kill you.  It sounds absurd, but you cannot know what is in the drug before you take it unless it is given to you by a pharmacist and prescribed by a Doctor.  I think most people who die from a drug overdose either intentionally planned it, or simply were not aware of how much they were taking because they were so high.  Plus every human being reacts differently to a drug even prescription drugs.  You should always try to stay away from drugs unless they are prescribed to you and you take them as your doctor/pharmacist ordered.  Drugs can help people who need them as a medicine.  Recreational drugs are troublesome and usually take you momentarily away from reality.  Most people cannot control the time they lose to do recreational drugs and become addicted and then their lives become horrible.  They lose the money they need to survive, sometimes their homes, their jobs.  It's not a nice picture.
