His life really changed because he started to use drugs and until today he talks about how he ruined his life over a small decision. What I am saying is that people like this are everywhere in the world.
If a person becomes addicted they can get treatment many peoples who has gotten therapy or treatment it can cure them but for some who got the same might not work for them. Many of the people who ends up going to treatment and spending months trying to quit the majority of the people will come back to doing drugs again. I think it’s not that easy to stop because the brain is used to the drug by now, and it needs the drug for the brain to function, and if the brain doesn’t receive the drug, the person body feels like they in pain all the time until they get that drug to stop. The most drugs users are the people who grow up as a single parent, and one in four children in the United States are being raised by a single parent. For example the mother who is raising the kid is single and she does not work because she has to raise the kid and with no job and income and the mom might become addicted because of depression and the kids see thier mom is a addicted and they might become addicted also and then passes on to the next generation (Keefer). There are too many drugs in today’s world and some of the most popular ones are cannabis, heroin, and cocaine when taking these drugs the brains get all these chemicals and disrupt the nerve cells and send, receive, process information. Other drugs, such as methamphetamine, can cause the nerve cells to release abnormally large amounts of natural neurotransmitters mainly dopamine (Maher). Addiction is a problem that many people face. People who are addicted feel an overwhelming, uncontrollable need for drugs or alcohol, even if they know that it can hurt them in the future and put them in dangerous situations. All they care about is how they going to get it and when do they take it and what they going to do after they take the drug. Through all of the research done about drug addiction and its effects on the brain, one can see how drug addiction is considered a brain disease. Drug addiction is a disabling disease and can ruin a person's life. By taking drugs, a person's brain becomes "rewired" to tolerate high amounts of dopamine neurotransmitters, but once those high amounts of dopamine cease to exist, the person experiences withdrawal symptoms. However, there are ways drug addicts can control their drug intake by using classical conditioning techniques, which allows them to associate drugs with negative attributes (Bai). All I know is that drugs can make a person feel happier and relaxed, but it is important to remember that they are toxic substances.

Many people who are addicted to drugs face many problems in their lives, such as abject poverty, family problems, and health problems. For me personally I never want to get involved in drugs, after seeing what my uncle went through all his live and how he ruined his career over a small decision. Drugs will never go away form this world and people will still produce more and more and people will die because of it and some might become successful and for some it might hurt them but overall drugs will still be legal to get but it is up to the people to make their decision whether to be drug free or be addicted.
