Taking psychoactive substances carries the risk of negative effects on the entire body, including the risk of disorders in physical and emotional development. Psychoactive substances, such as alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs, disturb the functioning of the senses, memory, thinking, motor coordination, and disrupt the development of the entire body.
