A drug is any substance that, when absorbed into the body, changes normal or abnormal bodily function.

Drugs like Advil, Tylenol, or even prescription medications can be harmful or helpful.

To be helpful medication should always be taken correctly, either according to the label or the doctor's recommendation.

A drug can be a very harmful substance which could affect the brain negatively.

Harmful drugs are pretty much any you buy off the street or use incorrectly there are to many to list them all but here are a few of the most commonly abused alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, Inhalants, LSD, tobacco and even refined white sugar!

Often dosage.

Any toxin is a toxin at a certain dosage. At other dosages, it may have no effect at all, or it may even have a beneficial effect.

For example, Selenium. A lot of selenium is quickly toxic. However, the human body needs tiny amounts of selenium from time to time in order to survive (it's a trace element or micronutrient).

That said, the difference between a harmful and a helpful drug depends on its effect on the human body at a given dosage. There is no clear line separating the two.

The most harmful drugs from the worst are:

1. Heroin - popular street names include smack, skag, and junk.

2. Cocaine - often referred to as snow, flake, coke, and blow.

3. Barbiturates - popular slang names include yellow jackets, reds, blues, Amy's, and rainbows.

4. Street Methadone

5. Alcohol

6. Ketamine - a powerful hallucinogen, often referred to as Special K.

7. Benzodiazepines - a family of sedative drugs.

8. Amphetamines - known as greenies among Baseball players.

9. Tobacco

10. Buprenorphine - also called bupe or subbies.

Barbiturates can be useful to control seizures and to be used to help you relax before surgery but it can cause severe drowsiness and breathing problems. Sorry, i'm not sure about other useful drugs.

While people who used Inhalants might experience Intoxication, with symptoms similar to drinking alcohol.
