What Are Some Diseases Brought by Drug Abuse?

Question by lela1997: What are some diseases brought by drug abuse?
I’m doing an essay about why drug abuse is so bad, so how do drugs impact us, and what are some diseases brought by drug abuse?

Best answer:

Answer by Barry
Hepatitis C is usually brought about by drug addiction, though not always. Drug rehabs in California might have more information about such things. I’d recommend seeking out pamphlets on whatever drugs you are researching. Most 12-step meetings have them for very cheap and they detail the negative effects of drug abuse.

Do some research. The consequences of drug abuse are endless.
