Writing this essay and becoming informed is a great way. Find out how drugs affect the human body, mind and relationships– short-term and long-run. Interview people who have been drug addicts or alcoholics
Interview health care professionals. Knowledge and information are great stimuli, with no harmful side effects. Good Luck.
