People with anxiety may take drugs to feel good and get a high, this can temporary reduce anxiety, the problem is that there is a very dangerous and negative effect on a person taking illegal drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, heroin etc. The dangers range from becoming dependent, destroying relationships, to breaking up families, contracting dangerous diseases, like HIV, being arrested and imprisonment. Most people who take drugs know this but are trapped as they have nothing to replace their addiction, God is powerful enough to offer an escape (after all he created the universe) often people don’t realise what they have got themselves into. It is highly recommended that if you are in this situation you should seek professional help. You will find many organisations available to help you.

Immersing yourslef in the love of Jesus, by meditating on scripture and spending time with him, has a positive effect i.e. develop loving relationships, strengthen marriage, cultivate a strong sense of inner peace etc, - ‘That's the best high of all’!
