lllegal drugs are drugs which a person is not allowed to own or use. The law says a person cannot own an controlled drug without permission. A drug is any chemical that affects the human body or mind when it is consumed in any way. A psychoactive drug affects the brain. Most laws against drugs are against psychoactive drugs.

Some drugs are allowed if you have permission (called a “prescription“) from a doctor. Other drugs are illegal—meaning a person is never allowed to have them. Individual countries and places have different laws about different drugs, and there are also international treaties against some drugs. The most used drugs are not under this kind of control, for example tobacco.

HOW TO SOLVE A DRUG ADDICTION?

Overcoming drug addiction: Decide to make a change

Developing an addiction to drugs isn’t a character flaw or a sign of weakness, and it takes more than willpower to overcome the problem. Abusing illegal or certain prescription drugs can create changes in the brain, causing powerful cravings and a compulsion to use that makes sobriety seem like an impossible goal. But recovery is never out of reach, no matter how hopeless your situation seems or how many times you’ve tried and failed before. With the right treatment and support, change is possible.

THE PURPOSE OF DRUG AWARENESS

People who abuse drugs can die or get addicted to them without realizing it. Temptation is hard to deny, and you may think you’re cool. The truth is you are not. You can harm yourself. So, the best solution is to stay away from people on drugs and parties held by those people.

If you know someone on drugs, try to help them. You can be their friend and let them talk to you about why they are on drugs. Do not pressure them into talking about it if they don’t want to. Do not tease them because it will cause them to get more depressed and use drugs again. Try and help them by telling them they can stop with help from their parents or a teacher.

Coron

Calauit Safari Park

Calauit Safari Park will remind you of an African safari with all the wild animals roaming freely about. Established in 1976 by the late President Marcos, the park is home to many wild animals such as giraffes, zebras, antelopes and even animals endemic to the area such as the Calamian deer. 

Siete Picados Marine Park

The best of Coron’s marine life can be discovered at Siete Picados Marine Park. Beyond its cool and clear waters lies a bounty of corals and tropical fishes you can only discover through snorkeling. Of course, the 7 limestone formations after which the place was named are also worth checking out.

El Nido

Big and Small Lagoons

Puerto Princesa

Dos Palmas Island Resort

At this resort located on a private island on the coast of Honda Bay, you’ll get a glimpse of a luxurious paradise. Sign up for a day tour so you can dip your toes in the magnificent waters of the white sand beaches on the island and gain access to the resort’s wealth of recreational facilities. 

Sabang Beach 

• 

While Sabang Beach serves as the port for boats that can take you to the Underground River entrance, it’s also a beach that is worth visiting. Featuring a long shoreline that is dotted with restaurants and resorts, it’s also a nice place to get your dose of sun, sand, and sea. 

Puerto Princesa Underground River

One simply cannot go to Puerto Princesa without having going on a tour of the Underground River. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, it’s one of the world’s longest underground rivers. The stalactite and stalagmite formations within its caves are stunning and should not be missed. 

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
