You could die if you take any of them. Yes some are worse then others but the bottom line is you could die from any of them. I promise you it would be the last thing you’ll ever want to attempt. Some you can take Like meth and immediately your addicted. Frightening! Illegal drugs are obtained like street drugs or drugs you get from someone that you don’t have a Dr. prescription for. It is illegal to take one of your Mom’s Lortabs for instance when the Dr didn’t write a prescription for you.

1. The commonly used abused drug in the United States is Cannabis! (Marijuana). It’s actually not even harmful. It’s only illegal because it isn’t taxed, therefore they make it illegal to get money to bust everyone! There is MANY names for it… bud, weed, pot, mary jane, reefer… the list goes on. Most people smoke it out of a pipe, bong, joint, or blunt. But you can also make a butter out of it and make cookies, brownies… you can eat it with anything. You can also drink it, by brewing the weed and making a tea!

2. Coke and cocaine are the same thing…it comes from a plant, but is made into a powder. You can snort or inject it. You can also smoke it in the form called ‘crack’.

Speed is an amphetamine, which can be snorted, smoked, injected, swallowed, or dissolved in a drink. Speed makes people feel wide awake, excited and chatty.

Usually crystal meth is smoked in glass pipes, similar to how crack cocaine is used. It may be injected (either dry or dissolved in water), snorted, swallowed, or inserted into the anus or urethra. Females often take crystal meth because it can cause extremely rapid weight loss. Meth is an illegal drug made in ‘meth labs’ and is made from Psuedoephedrine, Iodine crystals, Red Phosphorus and other household cleaners and harsh chemicals. Things you would never think about putting into your body!

Heroin is a highly addictive and rapidly acting opiate (a drug that is derived from opium). Specifically, heroin is produced from morphine, which is a principal component of opium. Opium is a naturally occurring substance that is extracted from the seedpod of the opium poppy. The appearance of heroin can vary dramatically. In the eastern United States, heroin generally is sold as a powder that is white (or off-white) in color. (Generally, the purer the heroin the whiter the color, because variations in color result from the presence of impurities.) In the western United States, most of the heroin available is a solid substance that is black in color. This type of heroin, known as black tar, may be sticky (like tar) or hard to the touch. Powdered heroin that is a dirty brown color also is sold in the western United States. Heroin is injected, snorted, or smoked. Many new, younger users begin by snorting or smoking heroin because they wish to avoid the social stigma attached to injection drug use. These users often mistakenly believe that snorting or smoking heroin will not lead to addiction. Users who snort or smoke heroin at times graduate to injection because as their bodies become conditioned to the drug, the effects it produces are less intense. They then turn to injection–a more efficient means of administering the drug–to try to attain the more intense effects they experienced when they began using the drug.

Google the rest… hahaah, this is alot to type out.
