Which drugs do you mean? Alcohol and cigarettes are legal, regularly used by a lot of people, but excessive use has been proven to be unhealthy.
Narcotics can damage important organs, especially in youngsters still developing. They affect the mental state so even if they're not affecting you physically immediately, you're more likely to do something dangerous than if you're level-headed.
You can become dependant on them, as with a lot of things. I suppose that's a danger, but as I'm a smoker I can't really comment 😄
Hallucinogenics can cause damage in later years, such as vivid flashbacks.
Having said all that, I was a recreational drug user and enjoyed myself immensely. I've stopped recently (over the last 6 months) because other things in my life have taken precedence over getting absolutely wasted on a regular basis. Alcohol usually gets me well on my way now and I can function with a hangover.
I would never recommend drugs to anyone, but I know I had a damn good time 😛
