Narcotics Kill Pain – And Other Side Effects

Narcotics kill pain, but addiction depends on many factors. Many use drugs, out of curiosity, fascination, or because they’re seeking a high. No one factor leads to addiction.

Drugs like heroin, morphine and medication and synthetic opiates like Demerol and Fentanyl are highly addictive. These opiates, work by mimicking the pain-relieving chemicals produced in the body. They bind chemically to opiate receptors, activating pain-relieving systems in the brain and spinal cord, but there can be many undesirable side effects.

No opiate will get you addicted if you use it only once. It is also not possible to maliciously make someone dependent on narcotics by placing it in a drink.

Caution: When someone stops using their medication, they may keep it in their medicine cabinet – just in case they need it in the future. If their teenager has been experimenting with drugs, they can believe that their parents’ medications are harmless, and take it. I know of incidents where kids brings a few of their parents’ pills to a party. They put them all in a bowl and pick the color of their choice and get high.
