It
is up to you to make up your mind about
whether you drink, smoke or take other
drugs (legal or illegal). But it is
also up to you to make sure you find
out what you are putting in your body,
the possible effects of the substance
on your mind and body and to make sure
your are not harming yourself or other
people in the process. In the case of
illegal drugs you must also look at
the fact that you are breaking the law
and that if you are caught there will
be a penalty.
The possession or taking of certain
drugs is illegal and there are penalties
prescribed by law.
