Drugs were not invented by one person they have been used from thousands of years when people discover that plants can change or heal the human body. Drugs are the substances which changes the way your body works.

Invention of Cocaine: German chemist Friedrich Gaedcke in 1855 extract active alkaloid and name it erythroxyline . Later from 1859–1860 — Albert Niemann purifies the alkaloid, names it " COCAINE " .

Human psychology related to drugs: It is human psychology that if you will stop or forbid people from doing a work they will try to do that work because they want to see that what will happen if I do that work , just like when a harmful movie banned by government then most of people try to watch the movie what it contain, it is the same with drugs if you will stop people from taking drugs they may try drugs out of curiosity but when he use drugs ( even in small amount ) large amount of dopamine released and then that dopamine Pushes people to take drugs again and again if at that time someone control themselve and stop taking drugs they become safe and those who don't control themselve get destroyed. If by mistake or some reason you take drugs even in small amount , without wasting Time you will have to contact doctor. People not only get addicted to drugs because of negative friend but also because of stress when are stressed and cannot sleep properly you may want to use pills but instead of using drugs we should to go to doctor for treatment.

Largest exporter of drugs: Colombia largest exporter of drugs in the world. A large amount of drugs are exported to the United States through the Mexico border.

Role of Dark Web in Drugs : Most people buy drugs from the dark web. To access it, they use a special browser known as TOR to hide their identity and make payments with cryptocurrency. Websites like Silk Road and AlphaBay are clear examples of the dark web. These websites work like Amazon, but instead of legal products, they sell illegal things.

Opium is a famous drug all over the world. Heroin is extracted from opium, and other drugs are also derived from opium.

When humans take drugs, it has a direct impact on the brain and other functions of the body. Even a small amount of cocaine or other drugs causes a large release of dopamine in the body.

Dopamine: Dopamine is a hormone and neurotransmitter that controls pleasure. It is often called a “feel-good” chemical because it motivates people to repeat actions that bring enjoyment, such as listening to music, eating favorite foods, or having sex.

How people become addicted to drugs: When we take a small amount of drugs, whether for fun, for trying, or under the influence of bad friends, a large amount of dopamine is released. That dopamine forces us to take drugs again and again. If we don’t control ourselves and stop, we gradually become addicted to drugs.

We should not even take a small amount of drugs for fun, for trying, or because of bad company. We must take precautions to avoid drugs, and we should not even think about taking them. Drugs are very dangerous; we shouldn’t even dream of using them.

Sometimes people think that drinking alcohol (alcohol is also a drug) is joyful and enjoyable, but being addicted to alcohol also causes several problems. Alcohol brings temporary pleasure, but in the long term it has many disadvantages. It can cause high blood pressure, anxiety, liver problems, weak immunity, financial difficulties, cancer risk, heart attack, and other serious health issues.

Drugs are used for medical purposes, pleasure, mood-altering effects (such as alcohol, although alcohol is also harmful for humans), and sometimes for illegal activities. The most commonly used illegal drugs are cocaine and heroin. In ancient times, many people in South America chewed coca leaves for thousands of years to reduce hunger and gain energy. However, this was not harmful for them because coca leaves contain only a very small amount of cocaine.

Opium war : These drugs also caused a war between Britain and China, known as the First Opium War (1839–1842).
In the 19th century, the British imported tea, silk, and porcelain from China, but China did not need British goods, so trade was one-sided. To balance trade, the British started selling opium to China through India. Many Chinese people became addicted to opium, which caused serious social, economic, and health problems.
The Chinese government, led by Lin Zexu, banned opium and destroyed British opium stocks. The British, who had an advanced navy, attacked China. China lost the war and was forced to sign the Treaty of Nanking in 1842.
