It all depends on the drug. Every drug affects your body differently. Certain drugs affect the nervous system, and some do not. From my understanding it all depends on how you take the drug too. For instance, if you consume a drug a may have a lesser affect than if you smoke, inject, or inhale it. It all depends, and there are many factors and specifics. Very broad question.
it depends on the drug... but all affect the neurotransmitters in the brain. most stimulants (drugs that increase activity) will increase the release of more stimulating neurotransmitters. most depressants (drugs that decrease activity) will either limit the release (or re-uptake)of neurotransmitters, or they will cause synapse to fire at a slower rate. the long term affects of "drugs" will vary depending on the drug, but often drugs will lead to tolerance and dependence on the substance, in which case the individual will experience withdrawal symptoms. all of which and cause permenent damage to the neurons and other structures of the brain.
Drug addiction, also referred to as drug dependence, is a disorder of the brain brought on by the use of psychoactive drugs. These drugs affect some of the normal processes in the brain related to perception, emotion, and motivation, thus affecting behaviour and thoughts.
All illegal drugs affect the brain - that's why the addicts do them, because they make them have certain moods or thoughts. The reason they are illegal is that they are very dangerous to the brain and other organs of the body, and all of them end up killing the addict in the end.
Drugs can damage your brain severely-if you take them dangerously.
They affect the nervous system. Usually, they slow it down. They can make you everything from dizzy to unconscious, so be careful!
changes brain structure and function in fundamental and long-lasting ways. Addiction comes about through an array of changes in the brain and the strengthening of new memory connections
Drugs change the way the brain functions.
It depends on the drug you are abusing. Marijuana has no affect whereas a drug like heroin affects it negatively.
People like to get high. Each drug of abuse corresponds with neurorecepter sites in the brain.
Drug abuse will affect people's physical and mental health. According to TeensHealth.org, drug abuse causes changes to the body and brain that are harmful. The health problems that result from drug abuse will depend on the specific drug being abused. General health effects of drug abuse include respiratory problems, heart problems, loss of memory, neurological damage, mental health disorders such as mood disorders, overdose and death.
Drug abuse is a very damaging life style that can negatively affect the function of the brain. Alcohol for example (is essentially a drug but in liquid form), damages cognitive brain function with high doses of alcohol and even kill.
Sadly, the only real limitation to drug abuse is the death of the abuser. Drug abuse affects many of the body's systems, including respiration, cardiac, and brain function.
yes, too much alchol can kill brain cells
social, economical, phisical, political
Yes it can

Opium, once a person is "high," it causes a chemical imbalance in the brain and make on feel, relaxed, at ease, lost, even paranoid if the drug abuse has been going on for a while.
It depends on whether the drug abuse hurts others, such as by violence or theft. If the "abuse" is done privately and doesn't affect others, it's a victimless crime and society should take no role.
Every drug in the world effects you believe it or not
