What is drug? Most people probably think there is a perfect simple answer to this question. In fact, if one conducts a quick survey on any street corner, one finds that, according to vast majority of people, there are two groups of drugs: those prescribed by doctors and those people take for non-medical use. As medicine and the medical professions are generally self-respectful, there aren’t any objections to the use of prescribing drugs. What most people don’t realize is that though prescribed drugs are usually beneficial, they can also present a serious problem. There were many people addicted by tranquillizers before doctors began to prescribe them: now there being literally millions who depend on them. An acceptance of the use of drugs for non-medical reasons is largely a matter of a culture. Some Eastern people think the use of alcohol with horror, mainly as a result of religious upbringing. However,these same people freely use marijuana without a second thought, and this, in turn isn’t accepted in western culture which accepts alcohol. In most western societies, the tea-or-coffee-break is now a part of life, and huge quantities of these drinks are consumed daily.
