DRUGS IN GENERAL Drugs. are substances or chemicals used as a medicine or in making medicines, which affects the body and mind and have potential for abuse. Without an advice or prescription from a physician, drugs can be harmful. Hundreds of pure chemicals have been developed from plants and put into pills, capsules or liquid medicines. There are also two forms of drugs, natural and synthetic/artificial. The natural drugs include natural plant leaves, flowering tops, resin, hashish, opium, and marijuana, while the synthetic drugs are produced by clandestine laboratories which include those drugs that are controlled by law because they are used in the medical practice. Physicians prescribe them and are purchased in the legitimate outlets like drugstores.
