What drugs are used as medicines?

A drug is generally defined as a chemical that can affect living processes. All medicines, except perhaps metaphorical ones like "laughter," are drugs. If by drugs you mean "things I can use to feel good illicitly" then I guess it depends how dumb you are. Do you huff glue? Cleansers? Assuming you are only average dumb, then you probably only take the usual drugs. I think almost all of these have been used as medicines by some people in some places at some times. Once they become Class I controlled substances in the US, they have been determined by the FDA and DEA to have no medical use that outweighs the risk of abuse posed, so they are unlikely to be used as medicines in the US if they are Class I. (But marijuana is legal in some states for medical purposes, and heroin is still used medically in Europe, so even Class I drugs can be medicines.) And many people abuse medicines such as Oxycontin, making the question: which medicines are used as drugs. Short answer: "drugs" and medicines are often the same things used in different legal and social contexts.
