I work in a drug/alcohol rehab unit, we have several heroin and cocaine addicts here that started off just using marijuana or amphetamines, some just those two.

Long term use leads to mental illness and heart problems due to increased blood pressure, that’s apart from all the antisocial effects that they cause.
