There are all kinds of drugs. Some help people with medical problems and can be bought in any store, right over the counter. Other medicines must be prescribed by a doctor. The alcohol and energy drinks we see advertised everywhere? Those are drugs, too. Then there are illegal drugs. Some drugs are helpful. Some can be hurtful—and even deadly. What do all they have in common? They all change how your body works, and they should all be taken seriously.
