If You Are Caught... (6 Faith)

Issue: 6 March 2012
Title of article: If you are caught...


Beside the fact that drugs mess with one's mind (LRD Issue on 21 Feb 2012, page 3), there are also dire consequences when one gets involved in drugs.


The type of punishment meted out to such offenders ranges from a stint in a rehabilitation centre to jail time and caning. As stated in the article, it's the responsibility of the person charged with trafficking drugs, such as heroin and methamphetamine, to prove his innocence and not the authorities.


Take a look at the following video to find out more about the negative effects on one's mind and body when one takes drugs.





Extension activity: Write a letter to tell your best friend about the consequences of taking drugs and the legal actions that might be taken against the person who's caught taking/trafficking it. [Post it as a comment to this blog entry.]

Hello! Recently, I have come to know that you were suspected of drug trafficking. I am very dissapointed with you. You know what the consequences are right? If you don't, I am going to tell you now.
The consequences are:
- death penalty for trafficking drugs like heroin and others.
-If you are found guilty for consuming or even found with them, you will face fines, a stint in a rehabilitation centre and jail time.
- Drug abusers(first or second time) will be sent to the rehabilitation centre.
- If you are arrested for a third time and beyond, you will be sent to prison for five to six years and recieve three to six strokes of the cane.
- If you serve out this sentence BUT is caught yet again,You will be sentenced to an additional seven to thirteen years jail and six to twelve strokes of the cane.
I hope you will plead guilty soon as it will shorten your prison time. I also hope that you will learn from your mistakes and turn over a new leaf.

Ayushi said...

Dear Aneie,
I am your friend,Ayushi.Several articles,on the newpapers,have stated the consequences and effects of taking drugs.So, Today, as a budddy,I want to give you the motivation and determination to give up taking drugs.I do know that something that has turned to a habit is hard to forget.But also remember that this is wrong.Singapore has a tough law . And to break this law, is like stepping into the death world. A death penalty will be charged to those who traffic drugs to Singapore. Stop what you are doing, not only for your family , friends and loved ones but also for yourself. Stop before its too late .

Dear Claire,

I would like to tell you the consequences of taking drugs. You might put yourself at risk under the influence of drugs. You might also not be able to keep up with your homework and concentrate in class and your study will also be affected. SOme drugs can lead you to become more violent too, so, do not take drugs even when you are stressed! You can listen to music especially k-pop ( SHINee/SNSD ) when you are stressed!



Yours faithfully,
Sally

Claire Lee said...

Dear Sally,
I've heard that you are thinking of taking drugs. Please do not do so as the consequences are very harsh. If you are charged with trafficking drugs in certain amounts, you will be charged with death penalty. If you are found guilty of consuming illegal drugs or if you are just found with them, you will face fines, a stint in rehabilitation centre and jail time. It is also compulsory for a drug abuser arrested for the first or secound time to be sent to a rehabilitation centre. Taking drugs can lead you to hallucinations and seeing scary things that are not really there. IO really hope that you will not turn to drugs.

Yours faithfully,
Claire

Dearest Jessie,

I would like to share with you the article I read in the little red dot concerning drugs.Hope this informations will help you to present your speech,regarding Drug Abuse, held in the community centre next week.

A lifetime of being controlled by an addiction could have all started off with drug experimentation with a group of friends, just for the fun of it, without fully appreciating the dangers involved and how easy it is to become controlled by a drug. This article briefly highlights the problem of drug and inhalant abuse in Singapore and the dangers involved with it.

One of the main dangers in drug and inhalant abuse is the high chance for the user to become physically and/or psychologically dependent on the substance to feel good or just to have a sense of normalcy in life. As a person’s mind and body becomes accustomed to the presence of a drug, he or she may experience painful withdrawal symptoms when the effects of the drug begin to wear off. These symptoms can come in the form of fatigue, seizures, cramps and pains, moodiness, tension, chills and sweating, fits, mental confusion, severe panic, paranoia, confusion, hallucination, and numbness. Therefore, once a person is hooked to drugs or inhalants, quitting the addiction becomes difficult and he or she may use all means to get the next fix.

The first step to avoid drug and inhalant abuse is to say “No”, even if it means declining offers from friends to “just try” these substances. Other methods include giving an excuse or simply walking away! Most importantly, remember that it is dangerous to even experiment with the use of drugs and inhalants.

Hope this piece of article will help you to present your speech next week in the community centre. Wish you all the best, Jessie...

Love,

Sharen

I've heard about you taking drugs recently. Taking too much of almost any drug could kill you! Some drugs cause you to imagine things, while some of them causes things to go wrong with your senses. And if you are caught, you will have to be sent to the rehabilitation centre to get over your addiction, have a death penalty, pay fines and go to jail. If you are released and get caught again you will be sentenced to five or six years of jail and also three to six strokes of the cane. If you are caught again,you will be sentenced to an additional seven to thirteen years jail and six to twelve strokes of the cane. As you can see, these are the consequences of taking drugs. in life, there are many choices to be made.

Dear Annie,
I just read a newspaper article which talks about the effects og taking drugs.

A drug may be helpful or harmful. The effects of drugs can vary depending upon the kind of drug taken, how much is taken, how often it is used, how quickly it gets to the brain, and what other drugs, food, or substances are taken at the same time. Effects can also vary based on the differences in body size, shape, and chemistry.

Although substances can feel good at first, they can ultimately do a lot of harm to the body and brain. Drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, taking illegal drugs, and sniffing glue can all cause serious damage to the human body. Some drugs severely impair a person's ability to make healthy choices and decisions.

DO NOT EVER TAKE DRUGS.
IT KILLS YOU!
IT HARMS YOUR BODY!
DO NOT TAKE DRUGS!

Dear Afiqah,

I am writing to you to tell you about the consequences of taking drugs.When taking drugs, some drugs might change on the way people feel or see the world. Take the drug Ketamine for example.Some drugs addicts take it expecting a pleasant sensation like floating or being detached from one's body.
Some drug addicts persuade people to take drugs because they think they will look 'cooler' if they take drugs.

Hoping you would not take drugs. It will ruin your life.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Aneie,
I am your friend,Ayushi.Several articles,on the newpapers,have stated the consequences and effects of taking drugs.So, Today, as a budddy,I want to give you the motivation and determination to give up taking drugs.I do know that something that has turned to a habit is hard to forget.But also remember that this is wrong.Singapore has a tough law . And to break this law, is like stepping into the death world. A death penalty will be charged to those who traffic drugs to Singapore. Stop what you are doing, not only for your family , friends and loved ones but also for yourself. Stop before its too late .
Yours truely,
Ayushi Rai

Dear Claire,

I would like to tell you the consequences of taking drugs. You might put yourself at risk under the influence of drugs. You might also not be able to keep up with your homework and concentrate in class and your study will also be affected. Some drugs can lead you to become more violent too, so, do not take drugs even when you are stressed! You can listen to music especially k-pop ( SHINee/SNSD ) when you are stressed!



Yours faithfully,
Sally

Dear Amber,
I heard that you have been taking drugs. Please stop taking them as the consequences of taking drugs are very harsh. If you are found trafficking drugs in certain amounts, you will be charged with a death penalty. If you are found guilty of consuming illegal drugs or you are just found with them, you would have to face fines, a stint in rehabilitation centre and jail time. It is also compulsory for a drug abuser arrested for the first time or second time to be sent to a drug rehabilitation centre. If you are caught continuously, the consequence will become harsher and harsher. So please, take my advice in quit taking drugs. They will make your life miserable and ruined

Yours faithfully,
Esther Cheong

Dearest Jessie,

I would like to share with you the article I read in the little red dot concerning drugs.Hope this informations will help you to present your speech,regarding Drug Abuse, held in the community centre next week.

A lifetime of being controlled by an addiction could have all started off with drug experimentation with a group of friends, just for the fun of it, without fully appreciating the dangers involved and how easy it is to become controlled by a drug. This article briefly highlights the problem of drug and inhalant abuse in Singapore and the dangers involved with it.

One of the main dangers in drug and inhalant abuse is the high chance for the user to become physically and/or psychologically dependent on the substance to feel good or just to have a sense of normalcy in life. As a person’s mind and body becomes accustomed to the presence of a drug, he or she may experience painful withdrawal symptoms when the effects of the drug begin to wear off. These symptoms can come in the form of fatigue, seizures, cramps and pains, moodiness, tension, chills and sweating, fits, mental confusion, severe panic, paranoia, confusion, hallucination, and numbness. Therefore, once a person is hooked to drugs or inhalants, quitting the addiction becomes difficult and he or she may use all means to get the next fix.

The first step to avoid drug and inhalant abuse is to say “No”, even if it means declining offers from friends to “just try” these substances. Other methods include giving an excuse or simply walking away! Most importantly, remember that it is dangerous to even experiment with the use of drugs and inhalants.

Hope this piece of article will help you to present your speech next week in the community centre. Wish you all the best, Jessie...

Love,

Sharen
