Recreational drugs are substances people use for pleasure or to alter their state of mind. Examples include marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, and heroin. These drugs can have various effects on the body and mind, such as creating feelings of euphoria or relaxation, altering perception and mood, and affecting cognitive function. However, they can be addictive and have harmful consequences, impacting physical and mental health, coordination, and judgment, and leading to risky behaviours.
In sports, recreational drugs are banned because they can provide unfair advantages or pose health and safety risks. They can enhance performance, mask pain or fatigue, and affect concentration and decision-making abilities. Athletes who use recreational drugs may face disqualification, loss of sponsorship, damage to their reputation, and even legal consequences.
