A very useful graph showing the potential for self harm or harm to others by David J Nutt should be added. I have made one and it's ready to use. Be aware that there is a english and a german version. For a preview you can check the german wiki page of drugs. SiXtreme (talk) 13:11, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

 Not done for now: An actual link to the graph would be helpful. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:24, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

"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.

indovenous isn't a valid route

Administration of drugs Main article: Route of administration All drugs, can be administered via a number of routes, and many can be administered by more than one. Bolus is the administration of a medication, drug or other compound that is given to raise its concentration in blood to an effective level. The administration can be given intravenously, by parenteral,by indovenous, by intramuscular, intrathecal or subcutaneous injection. Tada222 (talk) 03:41, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Agree; removed and took 'bolus' out of that list, as its not a route of administration. Klbrain (talk) 16:58, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Terminology

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.

Agree with the sentiment; I've added something along these lines to the existing Etymology section. Klbrain (talk) 17:06, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 4 August 2024

It is requested that the semi-protected page at 5Drug be created. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
