From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function. There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage. In pharmacology, a drug is "a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being." Drugs may be prescribed for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders. Recreational drugs are chemical substances that affect the central nervous system, such as opioids or hallucinogens. They may be used for perceived beneficial effects on perception, consciousness, personality, and behavior. Some drugs can cause addiction and habituation. Drugs are usually distinguished from endogenous biochemicals by being introduced from outside the organism. For example, insulin is a hormone that is synthesized in the body; it is called a hormone when it is synthesized by the pancreas inside the body, but if it is introduced into the body from outside, it is called a drug. Many natural substances such as beers, wines, and some mushrooms, blur the line between food and drugs, as when ingested they affect the functioning of both mind and body. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How should drug companies respond to people who abuse drugs? Q. Which approach makes more sense to you? Should drug companies make drugs that are highly toxic if abused (shot up, ect) to discourage their abuse, or should they make drugs that are safer even if abused, not because you want them to be abused but because you believe in harm reduction? If making the pills more toxic turns out to not dissuade everyone from abusing these drugs, it is ethical to be increasing the harm these people experience when that harm could be reduced? Many binders and time release formulations are dangerous to people who shoot up. They shouldnt be shooting up anyway, but if we are further endangering their lives are we doing the right thing? Another thing is additives like tylenol in Vocodin and Percocet. Despite what… [cont.] Asked by Nick Jinn - Sun Dec 6 09:06:26 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. First off. They should crack down on pill docters cause that is most of the cause of these kinds of drugs. Also i have alot of friends that get xanax from physcatrists. They go in there and say that there family doctor perscribes them this and they do not check. Really they have done all that they can do for this. Making them illegal makes people want to do it more, thats just the way life works. My answer if its not affecting you dont worry about it.

Q. What does the government do with the tons and tons of illegal drugs they take when they do a drug bust? Asked by Mike-Q - Wed Jul 2 15:39:08 2008 - - 23 Answers - 1 Comments A. in areas like flint michigan we have a group called fang *flint area narcotics group* they are an undercover agency made up of senior detectives in the michigan state police force. when they confiscate drugs they are used for a conviction and some are destroyed. others like in my case are used for testing purposes and sent to labs all around the country to be tested for purity and they attempt to locate the original source. all drugs have a sort of DNA. they will attempt to find the original source so they can work there way up the chain of dealers, even when some one doesnt snitch(like myself) and attempt to arrest a bigger "fish". also with an undercover organization like fang or magnet (shiawasse countys version of fang) they will… [cont.] Answered by kelz - Mon Jul 7 15:08:00 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "drugs" DrugsFrom Wikiquote Jump to: navigation, search This theme article needs cleanup.
