Drugs Problem in Teenagers

What definition a drugs?

  • Drug is an illegal substance such as marijuana or cocaine, which some people take in order to feel happy, relaxed, or excited
  • a medicine, or a substance for making medicines
  • a substance that people doing a sport sometimes take illegally to improve their performance
(Longman- Dictionary Of Contemporary English)
  • The term drug is derived from the fourteenth-century French word drogue, meaning a dry substance-most pharmaceuticals at that time were prepared from dried (Palfai and Jankiewciz 1991). Thus some feel it approriate to refer to chemical or substance abuse. Imprecision in the use of the term drug has had serious social consequences.
  • the term drug will refer to subtances having mood-altering, psychotropic effects. This definition includes caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, as well as illegal chemicals such as marijuana and heroin.

    (Howard Abadinsky (2004). "Drugs An Introduction". Fifth Edition Wadsworth, a Division of Thomson Learning.


Drug is any chemical substance that alters mood, perception or consciousness and is misused, to the apparent detriment, of society. Drug because our society is itself dependent on it, and as Prohibition seems to have shown, its enforced absence is more damaging than its legal presence.

(Peter Laurie-Drug (1974). "Medical, Psychological, and Social Facts". Reprinted with Revisions.

Drugs are substances that cause changes in body function. Drugs come in a wide variety of forms and have an even wider variety of uses. Drugs are found in nature, in our foods, and in chemical compositions made by man. Many drugs are consumed without any perceptible effects while others take a devastating toll, especially when abused.

(W. Wayne Worick & Warren E. Schaller (1977). "Alcohol, Tobacco and Drugs". Englewood Cliff, New Jersey Prentice-Hall.

Drugs have been in existence for a long period of human history and the medical use of drugs has always been, and will continue to be, actively encouraged by the goverments of the world.
