1ST DRUG
HEROIN
The effects on the body from continued use of this drug are very destructive. Frequent injections can cause collapsed veins and can lead to infections of the blood vessels and heart valves. Tuberculosis1 can result from the general poor condition of the body. Arthritis is another long-term result of heroin addiction.
The addict lifestyle—where heroin users often share their needles—leads to AIDS and other contagious infections. It is estimated that of the 35,000 new hepatitis C2 (liver disease) infections each year in the United States, over 70% are from users who use needles.
The death rate grew from 1 for every 100,000 people in 2010 to 2.7 for every 100,000 in 2013, after rising much more slowly over the previous 10 years, the new report shows. Overall, there were 43,982 drug overdose deaths in 2013, making them the top injury-related killer in the country; of those 16,235 involved opioids and 8,257 were caused by heroin.
2ND DRUG
COCAINE
Cocaine abuse is now the fastest-growing drug problem among the middle classes. A Police Foundation report last month tells us that there are 120,000 regular users and 360,000 occasional users of cocaine, with 180,000 taking crack cocaine.
Last week it was reported that cocaine users have hearts twice the age of non-users - and the damage does not stop there. Here, in a chilling dossier that every parent.
Cocaine is extracted from the coca plant, which grows in Central and South America. The substance is processed into many forms for use as an illegal drug of abuse. Cocaine is dangerously addictive, and users of the drug experience a "high"—a feeling of euphoria or intense happiness, along with hypervigilance, increased sensitivity, irritablity or anger, impaired judgment, and anxiety.
Cocaine is first psychologically addictive. In the body cocaine stops dopamine, a neurotransmitter which functions in the central nervous system to counteract depression, from binding to specific receptors in the brain which causes and excess of free floating dopamine in the brain, which in turn produces the euphoric feeling that attracts the user.
Last week it was reported that cocaine users have hearts twice the age of non-users - and the damage does not stop there. Here, in a chilling dossier that every parent, teacher and teenager should read, John Henry, Professor of Accident and Emergency Medicine at St Mary's Hospital, London, describes how the drug destroys the body.
The user may enjoy this feeling once and wish to repeat the experience again. What was initially a form of stress relief overtime will become a physiological addiction and although the user knows that the drug produces a negative effect he/she continues to desire it.

Interpretive summery of a scatter plot
The independent variable is deaths per year.the dependent variable is the years.the conclusions that we can draw from this data is that more people die from meth more than cocaine or heroin.the advice that the community needs to take is to not abuse drugs.
Don't abuse or do drugs.Drugs will have many negative effects on you.the drugs will cause you to look older than your actual age.drugs are very addictive and it is very difficult to quit.don't do drugs just to be cool.you could be the healthy one in the group,but if you do end up doing it and getting additives,call a doctor or a therapist.if you abuse drugs,that is several years in a federal prison,For example:George Jung got put in a federal prison for 60 years for having 150 kilos the of Colombian cocaine.do not do drugs or you will pay the price.
OPPOSING VIEW
People do meth and cocaine because they just want to fit in.They want to join the crowd.But just because they begin to do these drugs doesn't mean that person is cool.Meth and cocaine is not cool at all.When these people do these drugs to fit in,the realize that they don't want to do that,but now they have already done it and now they are addicted.That is the only reason why people begin these drugs.They are bandwagon and want to be like others and do what they are doing.
