SCALLOPING SUBSEQUENT GRATIFICATION V- CRITIGUE It is good to say that addiction, and not drug use itself is wrong. the truth is that all drugs are based on natural ingredients. even some of the more harmful drugs like herion come from natural sources. for example, alcohol is a drug and not in itself illicit: its moserate use as a drink is not contrary to maral law. within reasonable limits wine is a form of nourishment. it is only the abuse of alcohol that is wrong and immoral because of the negative effects of too much alcohol to the body and mind. drug itself is not bad, for example, drugs used for medical purpose, to releive pain and to cure certain deseases. the range of drugs in legitimate medical use, including antidepresant, shows thatdrug should not be unacceptable just because it is intrinsically mind altering, addictive, pleasurable oreven productive of harmful side effects. but what makes this drug dangerous or bad is using these drugs other than its intended porposes. for example, drugs are manipulated by the user to have an effect that is more intense for hiom or her. thiscan invovle adding chemicals and other addictives that can cause addiction and quite a lot of harm to the body. others are using prescribed drugs in large doses to alter their perception and moods, causing damage to their health or even death. these shows that the misuse or addiction of drugs, and not drug itself is wrong.
