History of drugs

Ever wondered what a drug is? If not then here is my five cents for it. A drug is any substance that alters the normal function of a body. I am not talking about the regular drug that a patient takes for his/her illness. Although that is also called a drug, the function of that drug is to make the abnormal activity come down in the body and make our body normally function. A drug is always consumed on doctors’ prescription. Drug can be got from anywhere. Thanks to the number of pharmaceutical stores available in the market. People are able to reach the drugs easily. The advent of internet has also made things easy. Now getting drugs is just one click away. All one needs to do is to login to the website and order the drugs you need. Evert pharmaceutical store has got its own website nowadays as a status quotient. So it is easy to sit on your couch and click the order button than to walk down the street and order your drug. But is this the only drug available in the market? No is the answer for this question.

If you think that a drug always helps to restructure the metabolism in our body then you are wrong. We are also surrounded by some illegal and unnatural drugs as well. Talking about history of drugs dates us centuries back when man was in need and in danger. Even a small cloth that is wound over the injured part of the body is also a drug. But the first unnatural drug, I call this as addiction drug, was found or called as cocaine. Drug leads to addiction. Man from then has created many drugs like tobacco, marijuana and even coffee for that matter. These drugs affect the central nervous system in the body and it is often harmful to us. But people do consume it every now and then. There are places where these kinds of drugs are available in plenty and are even produced in masses.

Drugs as a business are a highly prosperous business. It always sees a positive growth. In this business the supply often never meets the demand. In other words there will be always a demand for this kind of product. Many governments across the globe have made it a point to stop people using drugs but in vain. There are even private boards in many countries to look for this illegal usage of drugs but people are not able to stop it and even those organizations are finding it difficult to find them too. So is there a solution for the people who got addicted to these drugs? Is there any way to come out of this mess? Yes is the answer in this technology driven World. Thanks to the advancements in technology, people who got addicted can come out of that habit easily.

There are many rehabilitation centres available in the market. There are even many cure tablets and drugs available. But the main condition here is that all these anti-drugs must be consumed under doctor’s guidance. The big question that could raise in many people’s mind is that if a drug consumption can lead to this kind of situation then why do people consume it or why do people get addicted to it?. There are lots of cigarette smokers across the globe. The number can be in millions but why is the question. Pleasure is a one word answer, those people tell the World. What started as a pleasure has come to this extent and the need of the hour is awareness.
