Drugs obtained and often manufactured illegally for the subjective effects they are said to produce. They are often distributed in urban areas, but are also available in suburban and rural areas, and tend to be grossly impure and may cause unexpected toxicity
Fake medicine that may be contaminated or contain the wrong or no active ingredient, or the correct active ingredient at the wrong dose. Counterfeit drugs are illegal and may be harmful to health
Drugs designed and synthesized, often for illegal street use, by modification of existing drug structures (e.g., amphetamines). Of special interest are MPTP (a reverse ester of meperidine), MDA (3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine), and MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine). Many drugs act on the aminergic system, the physiologically active biogenic amines
Drugs Derivatives -- See Also the narrower term Designer drugs
Here are entered works on illicit drugs which are created by altering the molecular structure of existing drugs and which mimic the effects of the classical narcotics, stimulants, and hallucinogens
