drug abuse

Description

Drug abuse is the act of obtaining a one-way ticket to self-destruction. It replaces pain relief by turning the theater of life into a pitch-black stage. The promise of sweet escape conceals a costly betrayal. It is perhaps the most personal act of rebellion, shielded by society’s taboos.
