Why it is important to make wise choices

L.I to write an explanation

This week for writing we prepared for our writing test. We did this by writing and explanation about why it is important to make wise choices with the topic of our choice. In my explanation I talked about drugs, why people take drugs and the consequences.

Drugs are a substance that is not food, water or oxygen, like most things there is a good and a bad side to drugs. The good types of drugs help people get better and support the body, these types of drugs include Panadol, Antibiotics, asthma inhalers, etc. The bad types of drugs cause people harm, it causes brain damage, changes their appearance and causes them to hallucinate ( Imagine something that is not actually there) 

People take drugs usually because they want to forget something, but the effects wear off after a certain amount of time. That  causes people to want more therefore getting addicted to them and that leads to bad choices being made. In New Zealand there are three different classes of drugs, Class A, Class B and Class C. These classes are different levels of drugs, they all have different consequences. You can get punished for having them in possession or making them.

If you are caught with A class drugs which are the most harmful drugs you could spend up to six months in jail, getting caught distributing them you could spend life in prison. With B class drugs you can spend three months in jail, distribution of these and you could spend 14 years in prison. Getting caught with C class drugs will make you spend about three months in prison as well, distribution of these drugs and you’ll be spending eight years in prison.

As you now know drugs can be good or bad, Some countries aren't as generous though, having drugs in countries like Indonesia will get you executed. It comes up to our choices that can prevent us from going the wrong way.
