    The benefit
    of drugs
    what is
    drug?
    A drug is any chemical substance that causes a change in an
    organism's physiology or psychology when consumed. Drugs are
    typically distinguished from food and substances that provide
    nutritional support. Consumption of drugs can be via inhalation,
    injection, smoking, ingestion, absorption via a patch on the skin,
    suppository, or dissolution under the tongue.
    For many people, taking medication is a regular part of their
    daily routine, and these medicines are relied upon to treat
    disease and improve health. Although medicines can make
    you feel better and help you get well, it's important to know
    that all medicines,

    The benefits of medicines are the helpful effects you get when you use them, such
    as lowering blood pressure, curing infection, or relieving pain
    what would happen in
    a world without
    vaccines?

    And if it weren't for vaccinations, many children could become seriously ill or even die from diseases such as
    measles, mumps and whooping cough
    Unvaccinated children have characteristics that are distinctly different from those of
    undervaccinated children. Unvaccinated children are clustered geographically, increasing the risk of
    transmitting vaccine-preventable diseases to both unvaccinated and undervaccinated children.

    Every year, according to Lichtenberg’s research, drugs launched since 1982 are adding 150
    million life-years to the lifespans of people in 22 countries
    Ethimological defination of drug

    In English, the noun "drug" is thought to originate from Old


    French "drogue", possibly deriving from "droge (vate)" from
    Middle Dutch meaning "dry (barrels)", referring to medicinal
    plants preserved as dry matter in barrels.
    uses of drug

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal
    Recreational drug use
    Recreational drug use is the use of a drug (legal, controlled, or illegal) with the primary
    intention of altering the state of consciousness through alteration of the central nervous
    system in order to create positive emotions and feelings. The hallucinogen LSD is a
    psychoactive drug commonly used as a recreational drug.

    Ketamine is a drug used for anesthesia, and is also used as a recreational drug, both in
    powder and liquid form, for its hallucinogenic and dissociative effects.
    Spiritual and religious use
    Some religions, particularly ethnic religions, are based completely on the
    use of certain drugs, known as entheogens, which are mostly
    hallucinogens,—psychedelics, dissociatives, or deliriants. Some drugs used
    as entheogens include kava which can act as a stimulant, a sedative, a
    euphoriant and an anesthetic. The roots of the kava plant are used to
    produce a drink which is consumed throughout the cultures of the Pacific
    Ocean.
    Medication
    A medication or medicine is a drug taken to cure or ameliorate any symptoms of an
    illness or medical condition. The use may also be as preventive medicine that has
    future benefits but does not treat any existing or pre-existing diseases or symptoms.
    Dispensing of medication is often regulated by governments into three categories—
    over-the-counter medications, which are available in pharmacies and supermarkets
    without special restrictions; behind-the-counter medicines, which are dispensed by a
    pharmacist without needing a doctor's prescription, and prescription only medicines,
    which must be prescribed by a licensed medical professional, usually a physician.
