Everyone is familiar with warnings about drug use and the danger of drugs, but in spite of all of the information on television and in the classrooms, the truth about the danger of drugs is many times lost in the attempts to create fear around taking drugs.
Generally speaking, all drugs are alien to the body and create the same physiological effects as taking a poison. Since they are not a food source, the body reacts to drugs by attacking the substances and doing all it can to remove it from the blood stream. Immediately after taking the drugs, adrenalin is pumped into the system to increase the activities of all of the organs that will eliminate these substances; the lungs, liver and kidneys in particular. If the ingestion of drugs continues and the blood levels of the drugs continues to increase, the body will then slow down all of its functions in an attempt to keep these poisons from reaching the brain. At this time, the cleansing organs are still working on getting the drugs our to the body and, since this process isn’t as effective as needed, the body pushes these substances into dormant fat tissue.
