Question: Does drug abuse have advantages?

Dear Charo,
Abuse, as the word indicates, has NO advantages at all; it simply means youre misusing drugs;
That said, what are drugs? these are chemical substances (other than food that is meant for nutritional support) that, when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin, or dissolved under the tongue causes a physiological change in the body. Therefore even you panadol is a drug, and when you misuse drugs, like taking it wherever u feel any kind of pain for example, you body gets soooo conditioned to that such that you cant virtually live without panadol so it becomes a habit to take it daily. Now the problem is, as u get used to panadol, the body gets used, and the drug is no longer effective, so u need even a stronger pain killer; and finally u find urself using strong drugs used for anaesthesia during operations/suggery.
Now lets turn to what we call (drugs and drug abuse in common language in kenya); e.g. you start on ciggarettes (fine brands), then after sometime u dont feel any psyche and the body pushes you to raw tobbaco, sooner it feels like nothing, and next you are on Marijuana, then feels nothing and your on heroin etc; its like youre bewicthed (hahaha)
but some of these “drugs”, like all other drugs (causing physiological change in the body) have their uses, but IT SHOULD ONLY BE PRESCRIBED BY THE DOCTOR” and DRUG ‘ABUSE’ HAS NO BENEFITS AT ALL!!
NEVER FORM THE HABIT OF BUYING DRUGS OVER THE COUNTER WITHOUT CONSULTING A DOCTOR, OTHERWISE YOU RISK GETTING INTO ADDITION, EVEN ON SIMPLE DRUGS LIKE ASPIRIN AND PANADOL, OR EVEN SLEEP DRUGS!!
kind regards
