Product Description

A drug is a substance that affects the way the body works, either physically or mentally. It can be man-made, or derived from plants, minerals, or even animals. Most people think of drugs as illegal substances like cocaine or heroin, or legal medicines like antibiotics or painkillers, but alcohol and tobacco are also legal drugs, as are coffee and tea which contain a mild stimulant called caffeine. Some people also use everyday substances like hairspray, correction fluid, lighter fuel or glue as stimulant drugs.
