Illegal drug use in the world is a shocking fact for many years. Not only do adults use and abuse drugs, but many adolescents and young people do. Illicit drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, LSD and others are particularly dangerous because they can contain chemicals or toxins that, when mixed with other substances, can have fatal consequences.
For example, ecstasy is often mixed with various substances such as LSD, cocaine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, heroin, rat poison, caffeine, deworming dogs, etc. Its use is illegal, highly addictive, and incredibly dangerous.
Our society doesn't complain too much about drug addicts. Even in the context of death, the term is used as a deeply derogatory label in tabloid headlines. Opinion polls show that most people regard them as dangerous, unpredictable, and, crucially, self-inflicted. And it is this latter dimension that appears to be the key to the extreme stigma associated with drug abuse.
