Illegal drugs

Illegal drugs are substances that are prohibited by law due to their potential for abuse, dependence, and health risks. They can alter brain chemistry, leading to temporary or long-term changes in mood, perception, and behavior. Common examples include heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and certain cannabis products. Using these drugs without medical approval can result in addiction, health problems, legal consequences, and societal harm. Laws aim to restrict their distribution and use to protect individuals and communities from these risks. Understanding their dangers underscores the importance of health and legal awareness.
