drugs (which are classified into Marijuana, Shabu, Ecstacy, Cocain and Heroin); Facts about
Drug Effects of Drugs Use; How to refuse drugs. He added also the common signs of drug
Abuse (a) there is a change in behavior; (b) change from normal capabilities at work and at
home; (c) in order to support their habit, the user steal things/items which can be readily
sold for cash; (d) they associate themselves to their co drug-addicts; (e) changes in mood
and appearance; we can also observe from their physical appearance such as (a) unusual

In short, drug addiction can hinder or restrain a person from accomplishing his goals

and contribute to the delinquency in society.

any action that is punishable by las is considered as CRIME. There are 3 elements of CRIME,
(a) MOTIVE, something that prompts action or inviting such action into trouble, (b)
OPPORTUNITY, is a chance to grab such situations especially to the one that offers some
kind of advantage, lastly (c) INSTRUMENTALITY if you involve yourself to such unfavorable
action or playing an important part in achieving some actions that are punishable by law or
in short “accessory to the crime”.

Punong Barangay SOSIMO B. BIARES JR. discussed the negative effects of drugs
especially to the youths. He advised them not to try it just for curiosity. There are many
negative effects of drugs in our human body. It destroys you physically, mentally,
emotionally and spiritually. An individual may possibly lead to physically unconscious,

what is right or might lead you to any dangerous act or mostly inhumane action.
