Find out the truth about dangerous cults.
Save yourself.
True or false tests are an inadequate form of testing knowledge as poor wording and varying lemmas mean that these are inherently a brainwashing tool, not a teaching aid.
1. There are good drugs and bad drugs.
False, drugs are chemicals, they have no intent.
2. Most drugs don't hurt your mind.
It is possible that many recreational or medicinal drugs may cause temporary or permanent brain damage.
However there are hundreds of classes of drugs that have little or no interaction with neurotransmitters.
3. No one knows what causes people to take drugs.
Any person who willingly doses themselves with a drug does so for a reason.
Respectfully asking someone why they take drugs is the fastest way to understanding.
4. Most drugs aren't habit-forming.
Physiological addiction is a possibility when using many classes of drug.
Psychological dependence is likely for an even wider range of drugs.
Habituation to anything is possible, however I haven't ever had a penicillin craving.
(Man, insulin withdrawals are the worst...)
5. Alcohol isn't a drug.
An alcohol is a hydroxyl substitute to a hydrocarbon chain. Most frequently used of these chemicals is ethanol, which is most certainly psychoactive.
6. Marijuana [cannabis] isn't harmful.

30 seconds with google will give you more information about this than you can read in your lifetime.
7. Ecstasy is safer than other drugs.
True, very true, i'll bet 10 dollars on it.
Door number 1
Door number 2
Door number 3
(Those were the first three off the top of my head)
8. Drugs increase creativity.
Drugs do not give you super powers, anything you do while on a drug comes from you.
9. Drugs improve your senses.
If a drug boosts a neurotransmitter that is otherwise deficient, as in myasthenia gravis, then yes, drugs can improve your senses.
As for psychoactives, I believe that is a alteration in perception, not an increase in sensory data.
10. Drugs stay in the body for only a short time.

please don't give them a dollar, its too much for this trash
fair use is a bitch eh?
Bit of information here, my brother came home with a pamphlet about drugs, which I thought would be a laugh.
Thinking it would be the regular government propaganda of blah blah blah, be careful you don't know, nobody does, I was shocked to find it was actually a scientology front pretending to be an expert on drug education.
These poor misguided fools are wasting your tax dollars, you know, the ones that could improve our hospital, education or public transport systems.
This is not information, this is noise, and we are paying for it.
Anyways, I called them up and offered to locate white papers on pubmed that contradicted their erronious statements.
I got hit with the logical fallacy 'well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it' which of course it isn't and i'm not.
So i'm putting this here, hoping that my bit of noise may obscufate theirs in some small way.
A blind man driving a school bus is funny; i'm not going to bother the blissfully ignorant with my annoying brand of truth.
