Street Drugs

Street drugs are substances sold illegally outside of healthcare or regulated markets. They include substances like cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and ecstasy. These drugs can alter brain function, affecting mood, perception, and behavior, and often carry significant health risks including addiction, overdose, and long-term physical and mental health issues. Because they are unregulated, their purity and potency can vary widely, increasing danger. Use of street drugs also poses legal risks, as possession and distribution are criminal offenses. Understanding their risks is crucial for making informed health and safety decisions.
