Aim at Drug Eradication
Take good care of yourself !
Drug hazards caused by stimulants and cannabis are stalking around you. Abusing these drugs out of curiosity is spreading to students and housewives. Without knowing how dreadful drugs are, some people expose themselves to drugs with a permissive thinking "I will use it only once." This leads to obsession with drugs and they end up losing their lives. Drug abuse is not only a problem for abusers themselves but a big problem for our society itself as some traffic accidents and violent crimes such as murder are triggered by drug abuse.
Harmful effects caused by abusing stimulants and cannabis:
Stimulants
Stimulants such as amphetamine and methamphetamine are chemically synthesized drugs in colorless crystal form or white crystalline powder form which have no smell but a bitter taste. Using stimulants brings about an effect of stimulating the central nervous system that often leads to a high, relieving fatigue and depression, and a delusion of increased efficiency in works.
The effects can last for five to six hours. As the effects begin to wear off, the users experience fatigue, depression and a decrease in energy level. Escaping from these uncomfortable feelings and trying to feel high again often lead to repeated and habitual use that results in addiction. Once addicted, the users experience severe delusions, visual and auditory hallucinations.
Penalty for possession, transfer or use of stimulants:
Imprisonment for 10 years or less

The effects can last for five to six hours. As the effects begin to wear off, the users experience fatigue, depression and a decrease in energy level.

With repeated use, the users experience various side effects similar to those from amphetamine or methamphetamine addiction.
