Illegal drugs are bad for you and the way your body works.  If you take an illegal drug you can end up with very serious problems.  Some  the illegal drugs are hallucinogens (drugs that make you see things that are not real).  Cannabis (the official name of marijuana) used to be sold in coffee shops.  The more powerful word for marijuana is Hashish.  

    Another popular drug is Cocaine. Cocaine is an oil found in leaves in a South American plant. This drug is very addictive.

    Heroine was considered a morphine in 1874.  Heroine is a white powder with a bitter taste.  A single dose of heroine is about 100 milligrams.  

    PCP (Phencyclidine) was invented in the 1950s.  This product was originally made to be an anesthetic, but the patients became easily angered and delusional so it was kicked off the market.  The most common street names for this drug are Angel Dust, Ozone, Wack, and Rocket Fuel.  

    Steroids are substances related to male sex hormones.  Steroids are most commonly used by athletes to be stronger so they can beat the competition.  

    LSD (lysergic acid diethyl amide) is a major drug in the hallucinogen class. LSD was found in 1938; this was the greatest mood changing drug. LSD is a fungus that grows on grains.
