Biology 1a – Human Biology 3. How do we use/abuse medical and recreational drugs? to evaluate the different types of drugs and why some people use illegal drugs for recreation to evaluate claims made about the effect of cannabis on health and the link between cannabis and addiction to hard drugs to explain how the link between smoking tobacco and lung cancer gradually became accepted Some people use drugs recreationally. Some of these recreational drugs are more harmful than others. Some of these drugs are legal, some illegal. The overall impact of legal drugs on health is much greater than the impact of illegal drugs, because far more people use them. Drugs change the chemical processes in people’s bodies so that they may become dependent or addicted to them and suffer withdrawal symptoms without them. Heroin and cocaine are very addictive. Nicotine is the addictive substance in tobacco smoke.Tobacco smoke contains carcinogens. Tobacco smoke also contains carbon monoxide which reduces the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. In pregnant women this can deprive a fetus of oxygen and lead to a low birth mass. Alcohol affects the nervous system by slowing down reactions and helps people relax, but too much may lead to lack of self-control, unconsciousness or even coma, eventually damaging the liver and brain.
