Drugs have been in use for thousands of years. Although it is impossible to determine the exact time humans began drug use, there is evidence that some drugs (such as the mushroom Amanita muscaria) were used as early as 5000 BCE.

Drugs are used daily with either medical or personal usage. Every few seconds a baby is born and drugs are used to keep the baby. So technically bout every seond to a second and a half, a drug is used.

The drugs used to treat a condition are those prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner (a Doctor) who has examined a patient and diagnosed what is wrong.

However. some criminals also manufacture and sell addictive and illegal drugs that they sell to foolish people on the streets in order to try and make them drug addicts. These drug addicts are said to "use drugs".
