use is a happy time and the carefree time the time of the ride double date addict might only work it to find money for drugs in their desperation no need to follow their only goal in life is to keep the deadening chemicals for ever in their part blood an overdose causes unconsciousness then death taken into the bloodstream inhibits all the functions of the body by its action on the brain and the central nervous system of the body gradually build up a tolerance to the drug more and more is needed to produce the same effect or continued use the body acquires a physical dependence on opiates so that withdrawal of the drug causes a but violent illness until the body can make a real another depression is marijuana derived from the himalayan it inhibits and distort the action of the brain and nervous system physical dependence marijuana and cocaine cause profound mental and emotional disturbances overdose of cocaine causes compulsion  criminals who will remain drug addicts all their lives many addicts come from teeming slum areas where human misery runs high but the grim specters of heroin marijuana and cocaine are not confined to any area or to any group wherever there is a troubled personality no matter how hidden or unrecognized there may be a seed bed for drug addicts so unpredictable is a habit that occasionally even one who knows the dangers may become addicted before he realizes  sometimes the addict may come from a wealthy family or drugs respect neither rich nor poverty that's a victim doesn't have to steal to support his expensive habit but the degrading effect are the same in recent years there's been a shocking increase in drug addiction among young people than in their teens who take up the habit without the slightest understanding of the living nightmare so i'm thinking way walking into to get the illegal drugs they are forced to deal with criminals who prey on those least able to defend themselves and to find money for their expensive habit they often turn to crime themselves else my family saw all of these symptoms and others too but didn't understand and in the morning his pillow would be wet from perspiration his mother knew something was wrong necessary to marty were only so much stock to louie that stock it reached him through a series of well organized underworld transactions some months back smuggled ashore in a box the press caught were a number of small to pure heroin a kilogram and all a little more than two pounds originally bought for one thousand dollars that was reached after being smuggled into this country boy seven thousand dollars it was mixed with a similar looking white powder and sold again for thirty thousand dollars these were big business transactions possible only by organized criminal syndicate many believe that  had to keep going somehow to bring in the daily flow of money necessary to keep his habits supplied with drug to a hospital for the treatment of a drug addict and stay there until medically distracts you mean to try to kick the habit that's right you know how to get you over the physical dependence with the least amount of withdrawal sickness you agree sent by the courts there are several it operated hospitals adequate local hospitals would help the cause with this problem the treatment itself lasts for months but withdrawing the drive a major problem is helping the addict a workable psychological adjustment to live a life which doesn't include drugs it's a difficult procedure no hospital no doctor can be sure a success in trying to change long time attitude life in society it is important in the overall problem of drug addiction to do everything possible to stop the sale of the drugs one step would be to increase the staff of enforcement agencies not only federal but state and municipal agencies to criminal syndicates might give up drug traffic entirely if nationwide laws provided for spending penalties to counteract the tremendous profits and if these laws were energetically especially among young people of the great danger involved in any kind of experimentation with drugs they should understand that curiosity about what it feels like to smoke marijuana or take a shot of heroin can lead to a lifetime of pain and torment constantly faced by the heart of being without drugs much can be done to stamp out this because each person who knows of a drug or a drug addict reports him to the authorities immediately and the deadly minutes to himself and his friend he be sure that he will remain forever saved from a vicious habit which inflames not only one's body but the soul as well
