• If we use drugs to slow us down, make us lose ourinhibitions or chill us out we can end up causing our engineto stall.

How Do Drugs Affect Our Bodies?
• If we use drugs to change how we see the world, or alter how we feel, think and act then we run the risk of doing things we normally wouldn’t – and that could be dangerous.
• If we use non-medical drugs to make us feel good about ourselves we can end up being dependent on them and needing to use them.
