[Magaret]

A recreational drug is a substance people use voluntarily to induce certain effects such as altering their consciousness, mood enhancement, relaxation, or experiencing an altered state of being for personal pleasure or leisure rather than medicinal or therapeutic reasons. These drugs can include legally controlled substances, prescription or over-the-counter drugs used for non-medical reasons, and illicit substances. They can potentially lead to substance abuse or addiction.
