The Area of the Body Each Drug Affects[1]

legal by a state. Remember that the Federal government has no acceptance of
said state laws and you could have consequences. Your performance under the
influence of drug and/or alcohol does impair your body’s functioning and makes
you more susceptible to accidents. Drugs
and alcohol do damage to your body. When you consider all the negatives, do you
want to live with these risks for the short “high”?
