| definition 2: |
Another kind of drug is something that can affect a person's mind. They can make a person feel very excited, calm, happy, or sad even if they are not really feeling that way at all. Sometimes they can make people do things that they would not usually do. When a person takes these kinds of drugs, it affects both their mind and their body, and, in some cases, they begin to need the drugs all the time. Sometimes drugs can destroy a person's health and life. Some of these kinds of drugs can be given out by doctors in a very careful way to help their patients with certain kinds of problems, but sometimes people get them and sell them in an illegal way.
