The dictionary definition of this is :- any drug which is taken voluntarily for pleasure.

The other angle is that some people will start on something which they see as fairly harmless(cannabis) but then move on to stronger drugs in search of a better 'high'.
As I have said in a previous post, those selling drugs of any description are not interested in you or your safety, they are only interested in making money,this money may go to fund further criminal activity.
If you want to take drugs then that is your lifestyle choice. You pays your money and you takes your chance.
I worked in the NHS for 30 years and saw first-hand the harm that drug dependency has on people and their families.

But I could argue that other legal substances including food additives could trigger illness or a bump on the head.
Move on from cannabis to get a better high, same could be said for Alcohol.
Those selling drugs, yeah of course they don't care, this is where better laws would help the user.
Funding Criminal Activity, buying bootleg, DVD, Tobacco ect probably helps with this also.
I have never worked for the NHS but agree Hard Drugs are very, very dangeress, I cannot though Include Cannabis as a hard drug.

I can say the same about cannabis.
My problem is people seem to know about drugs, but group them all under one banner. cannabis and E are completely different.
