IN low doses, marijuana can induce restlessness, a dreamy state of relaxation, red or bloodshot eyes, and increased appetite. Stronger doses can cause shifting sensory images, rapidly fluctuating emotions, a loss of self-identity, fantasies, and hallucinations or image distortions. Other drugs may be considered gateway drugs. For example, glue or other inhalants are widely abused by young children in low income communities because of their low cost and availability. Crack or rock cocaine is becoming a gateway drug in some communities because of its availability and low cost.
Children learn about the use of gateway drugs.
For example, glue or other inhalants are widely abused by young children in low income communities because of their low cost and availability. Crack or rock cocaine is becoming a gateway drug in some communities because of its availability and low cost. Children learn about the use of gateway drugs from deceptions in advertising, television, movies, music, and even from parents themselves. According to research from the university of Washington in Seattle, parents who involve their children in the use of one of these drugs increase the child's risk of becoming an abuser of alcohol or other drugs. Do not underestimate the impact of gateway drugs.
