An Overview of Illegal Drugs

Published May 25, 2010

Illegal drugs are mostly addictive which can be in form as chemicals, pills, herbs etc. Such drugs make people so addictive that they consume these even if they feel sick. These are dangerous of course, having various side effects affecting ones mental, physical and psychological aspects. This is the reason most of the governments have ruled out laws regulating their usage not banning totally as these are sometimes used for medical purposes too. Usage of illicit drugs is not confined to any one region or country but is seen world widely.

Trading illegal drugs is a criminal offense in many countries. Legal amount of these drugs are often distributed carefully and are taxed too heavily. For e.g. cigarettes are legal drugs but are expensive and are also cautioned to be consumed by anyone below a certain age. A similar drug is alcohol. Apart from these there are various other illegal drugs as caffeine, heroine, morphine, temazepam, opium, methamphetamine etc. And if the person is caught with any of these drugs he may be punished as per the specific country rules.

There are various legal usages of most of the illegal drugs for which total ban cannot be made. These are:

–       Cocaine: It is used as an anesthetic legally.
–       Heroine: It is used legally as an analgesic – painkiller.
–       Methamphetamine: It is used to treat Narcolepsy.
–       Crack: Used as Cocaine.

Some of the prescription drugs are stronger than the ones found in illicit ways. For e.g. fentanyl analogues are much stronger than heroine. Black marketing and internet are the main sources of their sale illegally. These are black marketed mainly through forged prescriptions, pharmacy robberies and doctor shopping. In Malaysia and Singapore the similar black marketing of nimetazepam is done. This can be controlled largely in prescription drugs than in banned ones as the dealer is mainly some legal company and can be caught easily.

These are mostly consumed for pleasure initially and then become serious addiction. It hampers ones health largely affecting various vital organs and senses. And frequent usage of any illegal drug causes psychological dependence on the particular drug. There is a recurring compulsion to engage in the consumption despite of the knowledge of the harm it does on one’s health, mental state as well as social life. Physical dependency on illegal drugs becomes the main reason of their continuation. The person feels anxious and tensed in its absence.

Nicotine found loosely in the form of tobacco is one of the major addictive illegal drugs. Some arguments too suggest the uncontrollable urges for such drugs having genetic predispositions. And the treatment of such addictions also has been found by wide range of medical and allied professionals, Medicine specialists, trained nurses and counselors. The treatment includes medical detoxification with medicine doses like anxiolytics or narcotics. These are of great help to the adductors for reducing craving and leaving such illegal drugs’ addiction totally. But it all depends upon personal willingness and firmness to leave such illicit drug addiction.
