A drug is a substance which has an negative effect on health but is taken through addiction or a desire to fit in.
Illegal drugs are drugs prohibited by law. This is often based on the fact that these drugs cause damage to a person's brain and other organs, and that the drugs are highly addictive. Many celebrities have become addicted to drugs that killed them; many more non-celebrities have also died at a young age from drug addiction.[1]
The term "prescription drug" refers to medication to address a particular medical problem, such as an illness. Antibiotics are examples of prescription drugs.
