The risks associated with drug use include:

  • Cognitive impairment: Yes, many drugs can impair cognitive functions, affecting memory, attention, and decision-making abilities.

  • Hallucinations: Yes, certain drugs, especially hallucinogens, can cause visual or auditory hallucinations.

  • Psychological addiction: Yes, drug use can lead to psychological dependence, where individuals feel a strong urge to continue using the substance despite negative consequences.

Leukemia and lymphoma is not commonly associated with drug use in general; it is more related to genetic factors and exposure to certain chemicals or radiation, rather than the use of recreational or other drugs.

So the correct answers are:

  • cognitive impairment
  • hallucinations
  • psychological addiction
