The legal [[drug]]s we take that are not [[medicine]] are:
*[[Alcohol (Drug)|Alcohol]] - Slows your reactions and makes you over confident.
*[[Caffeine ]] - Speeds up your reaction speed.
*[[Nicotine]] - Makes you feel relaxed but speeds up your heart rate.

*Cannabis - Can make you feel happy or paranoid but makes you lazy and can lead to psychosis.
*Cocaine - Speeds up your reactions and makes you more confident but is extremely addictive, makes you feel depressed when you don't have any and damages the blood vessels that it touches leading the cartilage and bone in your nose the affected area to die. It can lead to the loss of teeth, makes you lose teeth disintegration of the nose and can cause the bones in your the face to crumble.
*Heroin - Makes you feel happy and sleepy but is extremely addictive, makes you feel depressed when you don't have it, can lead to infections that need amputation and spreads diseases like [[HIV]].
*LSD - Gives you hallucinations that can seem fun or can seem very scary. Hallucinations might include: Thinking you're invincible so you walk into traffic on the motorway. Believing spiders are chasing you and jumping out of a window to escape them. Feeling constantly thirsty and drinking so much water that it kills you.
: These drugs are illegal because they are so much more dangerous than [[caffeine]], [[Alcohol (Drug)|alcohol]] and [[nicotine]]. What makes them even worse is that the people that sell them may have added other ingredients that can be even more harmful.
