Drugs
Drugs are substances that affect the body and brain. They are categorized into opioids (e.g., heroin, painkillers), stimulants (e.g., cocaine, meth), depressants (e.g., alcohol, sedatives), and hallucinogens (e.g., LSD, magic mushrooms). Each type impacts the body differently, with some used medically and others posing a high risk of addiction and harm.
