Illegal Drugs And The Consequences Of Buying These Substances
Apart from the illegal drugs that are created and manufactured in illegal laboratories, this definition also applies to any scheduled medication that is purchased without a prescription from a registered medical practitioner or somebody who is not authorised to dispense the medication.
The schedules and rules dictating the difference between legal and illegal drugs have been put in place to protect the consumer. This is due to the fact that the illegal use of these drugs can cause long term side effects that are harmful to an individual and that can result in addiction and eventually death.
The major problem with the purchase of illegal drugs is that you can never be sure of exactly what you are getting. Many illegal drug dealers ‘cut’ the drugs with a number of products that look similar to the drug they are selling to enable them to make more money off their illegal drug deals.
They mostly use products such as powdered milk, icing sugar or flour but can use harmful substances such as rat poison that can lead to instant death. The pure form of the illegal drug often passes through the hands of a number of illegal drug distributors who each cut the product with their own preferred substances.
There are many legal consequences to dealing in illegal drugs. These range from fines and community service for the purchase and possession of the illegal drugs to prolonged prison sentences for the distribution of the substances.
But many therapist have found that it is more important to understand that the legal consequences should not be the factor that most deters you from making illegal drug purchases. The impact that illegal drugs can have on your health and your life should be your main concern when you are faced with the temptation of purchasing illegal drugs.
We will do whatever it takes ...
SCRC's approach is aimed at facilitating change from the culture of addiction to the culture of recovery.
This process will yield limited success when approached outside of a residential treatment facility particularly when detoxification is required. It is imperative that individuals entering treatment are given as much training and education as possible.
