Drugs are considered dangerous because they typically have chemical and/or physical effects on the person using them, some of which may be harmful to you, that can result in changes in state of mind and/or behavior. These effects are felt and interpreted differently by every individual, and because of this can cause potentially dangerous behaviors.
