I presume you mean psychotropic drugs, those capable of producing an altered mental state.

The answer is yes, in a variety of ways: for starters, there is the potential for overdosing, which can cause brain damage, cardiac arrest, coma and death.

Even with a standard dose, unpredictable mental effects can occur, which can lead to deliberate or accidental suicide (such as jumping off a building while believing you can fly).

Long-term effects can include random and debilitating flashbacks, neurological damage, and the possible triggering or acceleration of brain-based degenerative disorders such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease.
