Know the Facts: Marijuana and Other Drugs

Marijuana
Do you know what you're really getting when you smoke? Just because pot is 'natural' doesn't mean it's harmless.

Prescription Drugs
Most of us have taken a prescription medication at one time. If we do so under the direction of a doctor, they can be very helpful. However, when prescription medications are used in other ways, they can lead to lots of issues. Prescription drug misuse is classified as:

• Using a prescription that is not prescribed to you
• Using a prescription in a way that was not intended: taking more of it, taking it for a longer period of time, or taking it for another reason.

Other Drugs
What exactly is the deal with drugs? The truth is that drugs affect everyone in different ways. You just never know how a drug is going to affect you.
