Drugs are commonly understood as medicines that are used for treating the cause or symptoms of an illness. In this sense drugs are certainly beneficial, but, there are some drugs which have no beneficial use at all. People who use these drugs take them for recreational reasons and there is no medical approval for it. Unwanted using of drugs takes its course to drug abuse. The consequences of recreational drug-taking are pernicious not only to the person but also to the people who are around them. In the past, most people who abused drugs either had easy access to medicines or were impoverished people for whom drug provided the only escape from frustration and hopelessness of life. In the 1950’s more people of all classes and occupations began to use mood changing drugs, and some other kinds of mood changing drugs are available through both legal and illegal channels. Some mood changing drugs induce relaxation or sleep. Others induce feelings of exhilaration. All affect the nervous system and all can cause emotional change.
