Legal and Illegal Drugs: Effects and Consequences

Drugs: Effects and Consequences

“Drugs” refer to substances that can alter the functioning of the body and mind when introduced into the system. They can be broadly categorized into legal and illegal drugs, each with varying effects and potential consequences.

Legal Drugs

Legal drugs include prescription medications, over-the-counter remedies, and substances like caffeine and nicotine. Under established guidelines, these are regulated and typically used for medical or recreational purposes.

Prescription Medications

Prescription medications are drugs that require a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. They are used to treat various medical conditions and are regulated by the FDA.

Over-the-Counter Remedies

Over-the-counter remedies are drugs that can be purchased without a prescription. Generally, we use them to treat minor ailments, and the FDA is responsible for regulating them.

Caffeine and Nicotine

Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants that are commonly consumed in beverages like coffee, tea, and energy drinks. They are also present in tobacco products like cigarettes and e-cigarettes.
