      Hi meg,

      That really depends on which drug you’re talking about because they’re all very different – some increase your heart rate and strain your heart to the point where it can stop, some can give you brain damage, others make you more likely to get infections because your immune system is lowered, others make you very addicted so you stop eating and looking after yourself properly.
      So alltogether not a good idea!

      🙂 Sarah
