Drugs and drug abuse

Drugs come in many forms; you may think of drugs such as heroin, ecstasy or cannabis, but substances such as solvents or even tea and coffee can be 'drugs'! A drug is anything that you take into your body that changes your mood and the way you feel - and some drugs can be extremely dangerous and even fatal.
