Dr. Agyemfour explained that when people hear the word “drug,” they often think only of illegal or harmful substances. However, he said, “A drug is any substance or chemical used to prevent or cure illness or disease”.
According to him, even the medications we take to cure ourselves are considered drugs.
He also pointed out that what is considered an illegal drug in one country may be perfectly legal in another.” drugs that are illegal in our country are legal in other countries “.
This difference can be seen in how different societies handle certain drugs.
