What Are Some Diseases Brought by Drug Abuse?

Question by lela1997: What are some diseases brought by drug abuse?
I’m doing an essay about why drug abuse is so bad, so how do drugs impact us, and what are some diseases brought by drug abuse?

Best answer:

Answer by Barry
Hepatitis C is usually brought about by drug addiction, though not always. Drug rehabs in California might have more information about such things. I’d recommend seeking out pamphlets on whatever drugs you are researching. Most 12-step meetings have them for very cheap and they detail the negative effects of drug abuse.

Do some research. The consequences of drug abuse are endless.

When Hunting Is It Relatively Safe to Eat the Meat You Hunt Raw?

Question by Some Dude: When hunting is it relatively safe to eat the meat you hunt raw?
Considering the fact that the animal you hunt is free to roam in the wild and eats actual food from the wild, rather than being injected with drugs, abused, and forced to stand in knee deep crap at a slaughter house, is it usually safe to eat for example, raw deer that you hunted from the wilderness? As long as it was recently killed and is fresh?

Best answer:

Answer by Vivian
NO! Wild game can be full of parasites that are dangerous. Only thorough cooking can kill both parasites and larvae.

Need a Suggestion on a Movie About Drug Abusers?

Question by Nandy Joe: Need a suggestion on a movie about drug abusers?
Well, I’m a writer (that kind of explains my non-sense questions), and I need suggestions for a movie which retracts the reality of a drug addict. I need it to be REALLY explicit, since I don’t know any addicted, because I’m gonna have to base my descriptions of drug abuse and the addicts life on scenes I catch from movies and books I read. Of Course I’m trying to visit some rehab center to gain information and stuff, but I find it hard to believe they’re gonna let me see what I want. Thanks already! hmm, I will choose a best answer!
– I mean HARD DRUGS, not alcohol
