Cocaine is an addictive stimulant drug that is commonly snorted, injected or smoked. It can also be rubbed on the gums and absorbed into the bloodstream. Cocaine increases dopamine in the brain, the chemical controlling the pleasure and reward system.

Heroin is a highly addictive, illegal drug. It is used by millions of addicts around the world who are unable to overcome the urge to continue taking this drug every day of their lives—knowing that if they stop, they will face the horror of withdrawal. Heroin addiction can be very devastating to the user and his or her family alike.

Methamphetamine is a very addictive stimulant drug. Meth can boost mood, increase feelings of well-being, increase energy, and make you more alert—but it also has dangerous effects.
