Drugs come in a variety of substances and are used worldwide, despite being prohibited in many countries. Drugs have different properties depending on which type it is, but they are all mind-altering and addictive. In this film, we present some of the most common drugs that are illegal in most countries: opiates, cannabis, hallucinogens, and central nervous system stimulants. The film describes what happens in the body when they are ingested. Some act as pain relievers and tranquilizers, others as stimulants, and some might make you see things that are not real. The film highlights the risks of taking drugs, such as their strong addictive nature, the potential for regrettable actions, the possibility of severe withdrawal symptoms, and the uncertainty of what the drug contains.
