== Terminology ==
I suggest a section called ==Terminology== with the following text:
The term "drug" has become a ]; ] can have a negative connotation, often associated with illegal substances like cocaine or heroin.

"Abuse of several psychoactive drugs can cause psychological or physical addiction."
Should be changed to "Abuse of several psychoactive drugs can cause addiction and/or physical dependence". " "Physical dependence" should link to the page "drug dependence" and "addiction" should have its own link.

I suggest a section called ==Terminology== with the following text:
The term "drug" has become a skunked term; Drugs can have a negative connotation, often associated with illegal substances like cocaine or heroin. This is despite the fact that the terms "drug" and "medicine" are sometimes used interchangeably.
The first half of the classification section is the exact same as the last paragraph of the medication section. I wonder if there is a way these sections could be combined, or be better distinguished from each other? TempestSounds (talk) 06:49, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
