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)Reply

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

"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.

  Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Pupsterlove02 talkcontribs/

indovenous isn't a valid route

edit

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)Reply

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

Terminology

edit

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.[1]

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