Drug can exist in many forms such as in powder, liquid, pill or herbal form. Drugs can be consumed, inhaled, smoked or injected into the body.

Imagine that you've been cast away on a desert island . You live completely alone. You have enough to eat and drink. You have shelter. It may even be quite pleasant. But there's no-one else around.
