Drugs?

Everybody's heard of drugs, right? If you don't, a drug is defined as a substance that causes a physiological effect on a person when ingested or otherwise introduced to the body.  Many people may tell you that there are two kinds of drugs, the good and the bad kinds. However, all drugs can have good or bad effects depending on how they're used. Some are medical prescription drugs you've probably never heard of, such as methylphenidate, or β cell inhibitors. There are also OTC or over-the-counter drugs, which you might have heard of, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetomenaphine. And then there are those that everyone knows about, or the "bad" drugs such as methamphetamine (meth), cannabis (marijuana), and the ever present alcohol, tobacco, and nicotine.
