The National Rehabilitation Center in Abu Dhabi warned against believing the misconceptions that are promoted about narcotic substances, and the most common of them is the belief that some materials are safe because they do not cause addiction from the first use, but the medical reality proves that some of these substances may lead to psychological or physical attachment, which opens the door to addiction without the person feels that.
