What Are The Most Dangerous Drugs In The World?

Drug use and abuse is a reality that continues to affect the health of thousands of people. This time we review the most dangerous drugs in the world.

Drugs are a difficult subject that is not without controversy.  From the policies imposed by some states, to the alarming impact that these substances have on multiple aspects of society.

It is necessary to define what drugs are and how they are understood by the people who consume them. Remember that, according to each individual, the predilection for one type or another varies, including by gender, as stated in a study by the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality.

It must be remembered that  a drug is any narcotic whose origin is both natural, synthetic or mixed ingredients, which directly or indirectly affects the perception, assimilation and biological, chemical and neurological interaction of the individual who is under its effects.
