In the newspaper article “Teens Who Abuse Study Drugs Face Legal, Health Problems in the Future” by Chicago Tribune, readers learn about what the “study drug” is, it’s long term health effects, and it’s short term health effects. The study drug is a pill that teens take to allow themselves to study for long periods of time, focus all day, increase test scores, and contain their appetite. As a result of these drugs, teens can have short term health effects such as stomach aches, increased heart rate, and blood pressure. Consequently, the long term health effects are heart attack, hallucination, and paranoia. Therefore, the “study drug” has many long term and short term health effects.
