There are numerous affects that using legal or illegal drugs have on the body. Those include, but are not limited to, mood changes, distorted vision, confusion, delusions, and blackouts. The affects get worse ranging from becoming dependent, having a weakened short-term memory, weakened problem-solving ability, and an increased feelings of paranoia and anxiety leading to severe pain attacks. However, the most severe affect that drugs can have on the body is death. While these examples are only a small percentage of what drugs do to a body, any regular abuse of drugs is a clear signal that the person doing the abusing needs help and has most likely become physically and emotionally dependent.
