Persuasive Paper Over “Drug Abuse”?

Question by dt: persuasive paper over “drug abuse”?
I have to write a 2 page persuasive paper over drug abuse/drug use.
I’m persuading people to not use drugs but I don’t really have any reasons on it yet..
All I have so far is:
It destroys your body mentally & physically
It’s dangerous
The relationships with your friends and family aren’t going to be the same
It’s illegal & you could go to jail for doing it

Does anybody have any more ideas on how to persuade people not to do drugs?
Thanks in advance!
