Chemical compounds that impact the mind and body are known as drugs. The specific effects differ from person to person and are also dependent on the medicine, dose, and route of administration. So, drug use can have short-term as well as long-term effects on your health.
Short-Term Effects Of Drug Use

Long-Term Effects Of Drug Use
Chronic drug use can have long-term effects as well;
Mental Health Problems
Chronic use of some substances can cause both short- and long-term changes in the brain, resulting in mental health disorders such as paranoia, depression, anxiety, aggression, hallucinations, and other concerns.
Cardiovascular Problems
Most illegal drugs can cause heart problems, ranging from irregular heartbeats to heart attacks. Cardiovascular disease refers to any condition affecting the heart and can affect anyone. But people who indulge in chronic drug use are more at risk of heart diseases.
Respiratory Problems
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are illnesses that affect the lungs’ airways and other structures. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, occupational lung disorders, and pulmonary hypertension are among the most frequent.
Kidney Damage
Dehydration, hazardous increases in body temperature, and muscular breakdown can all induce kidney injury or failure, either directly or indirectly. End-stage renal disease (ESRD), often known as kidney failure, is the final stage of chronic kidney disease. When your kidneys fail, it means they are no longer able to keep you alive without dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Liver Damage
Chronic use of some drugs, such as heroin, inhalants, and steroids, can cause serious liver damage. When these medicines are mixed with alcohol or other substances, the damage might be even severe.
Overdose
An overdose can occur when a person takes too much of a drug or many drugs at the same time.
