Drugs are no matter of joke in today's world. Each day more and more people get addicted either due to peer-pressure, depression, curiosity or just pure fun. But no reason is big enough to get indulged into something that may result in your death.
Addiction is a disease that effects both brain and behaviors. It can cause all sorts of side-effects such as tiredness, bad-grades, hallucinations etc. Excess drug abuse may lead to death as well.
Hallucinogens are drugs that cause hallucinations. A hallucination is a sensory experience of something that does not exist outside the mind. It may involve hearing, seeing smelling tasting or feeling something that isn't really there.Sometimes the hallucinations can be very frightening to the user. The user maybe panic stricken by what he/she is seeing or hearing and may become uncontrollably excited, or even try to flee from the terror. Hallucinogen users call these kinds of experiences 'bad trips'. People have even been known to be driven into permanent insanity due to the use of hallucinogens.But most of the time th user typically knows that what he/she is hearing; seeing; tasting; smelling etc is only in their mind and is not real an dit's a product of their drug.

An Imaginery Character

He was 20 and was looking for his big break into a bussiness firm. Being a South Indian by birth, and because Rob came from a not-so-well-off family it was hard for him to go abroad to study, so he gave interviews and sent his c.v to almost all the local companies he knew of.
As he hadn't started his career yet, his friends were all from his University.
Born to the very simple Mr. and Mrs. Gupta, Rob had always seemed too ambitious.

As months passed with no calls coming from the companies, and all his friends already having joined various firms, Rob started feeling real depressed. He didn't have a job, nor friends to hang out with....
Slowly out of depression and loneliness he started to hang out with the kids who always seemed to be standing on the street corners doing nothing. Rob had always known and his mother had warned him not to mix with these kids. But there was nothing else to do....
It first started with everyone laughing at him when he refused to take the white powder they offered. Slowly it got to his nerves... how lame can life get?? First he doesn't get a job, then his friends dithch him and now his new friends laugh at him... why does he have to be such a geek???

At first when he started taking those drugs it was absolutely euphoric. But before even a week and a half passed he started feeling dysphoric. He was really addicted to this stuff... so, he started elevating his drug doses until he reached such a point when his parents finally found out and forced him to withdraw... but that was no easy task. He had to take all sorts of therapys.
And finally when a call did come from one of the firms he didn't get the job because the company didn't want a drug addict to work for them.
