It is most unfortunate that addictive substances are perceived as cool especially by the youth, who are responsible for the future. Back in the day, every comic book, movie theatre and even billboards would warn against addictive substances and the harm they cause, but now these warnings are few and far between. We do understand the urge to try new things but before you take a shot of any kind, please read about how long these drugs actually stay in your system. Then imagine the harm they cause while they are there. You might want to think twice before you take them.
Alcohol
Alcohol
Alcohol is certainly the most prevalently used and most legal of all addictive substances. Before you gulp in the pints, it might help to know that it can stay in your urine for up to an astounding five days! It stays in your blood for about half a day and traces of alcohol can be found in your hair for about three months!
MDMA
MDMA
With the street name Molly, it can last in your urine for about four days and in your blood for about two days. In some cases, it may last up to a staggering 90 days in your hair!
Heroin

Now, you don’t mess with this even just to try. Addiction is essentially instantaneous. It can last up to 3-4 days in urine, 90 days in hair, and about 12 hours in the blood.
Amphetamines

Even though they are over-the-counter drugs, the health effects can still be quite dangerous. Traces can be found in your urine for about three days, 12 hours in blood, and about 90 days in hair.
