Soft drugs are wrongly believed to be non-addictive. However, cannabis products such as weed, hashish, marijuana have become so much stronger and more concentrated that their use can now be compared to the use of heroin. Weed is likely to be the most underestimated drug around. Depending on the substance, soft drugs cause a number of physical and mental effects. This effect is not only caused by the substance itself, but also depends on the user. Depending on the substance, soft drugs create a happy, sometimes euphoric mood. It gives users a sense of self-confidence, energy, while having an analgesic effect and reducing the appetite. It makes you believe that you can keep going and that all your problems will be solved.

However, drug use is never without risk, in particular when recreational use seems to transform into addiction. The use of soft drugs and the effects often lead to a compulsive urge for frequent use. Both physically and mentally, you become fully dependent on drugs. And because your brain can repair itself, you will need more and more or a stronger substance each time to experience the same (euphoric) effect. This leads us to the negative consequences of the use of these drugs: indifference, suspicion, loss of a sense of reality, overconfidence, self-neglect (and neglect towards the people who are closest to you), insomnia, exhaustion and delusion, but also physical complaints, including heart and lung conditions.

Drugs can be classified into three main groups:

  • Depressants these include heroin, GHB, benzodiazepines (e.g. sedatives, valium, painkillers), opium but also cannabis (weed, hashish, marijuana)
  • Stimulants these include cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamines
  • Hallucinogens LSD and magic mushrooms, but also cannabis (weed, hashish, marijuana)

Once you experience a compulsive urge to use drugs, then you also feel “convinced” that you will be able to stop using drugs when you decide to. You are certain that you can control yourself. You don’t need any help from others, and not in the least from those who are closest to you. Every time you use drugs, you decide this will be the last time. These are all symptoms of your addiction. However, a change has occurred in your brain. This has nothing to do with not having the willpower. Subconsciously, your brain is telling you to keep using.
