it's a broad topic. many different things are drugs.
they can be produced and consumed in different ways.
some are addictive, some are not. they have different effects.
even picking one specific drug at random, and limiting the conversation to that, it's still a complex topic with a long history that can fill volumes. this can be said about many topics, it doesn't make it less true.
to contrast, last week's topic was around a specific scenario. maybe someone or each can think of specific scenarios they would have dealt with and think and comment around that.
i'll mention those that come to mind:

-medicines, including those to treat chronic conditions and illnesses and health insurance

-HRT

-coffee, caffeine, and energy drinks in the context of work/jobs night shifts

-adderall use by students

-sugar in everything, refined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup

-heroin use in the context of homelessness

-ecstasy and electronic music festivals

-hallucinogens in rituals

-drinking and driving

-recreational uses of drugs, risk reduction, guidelines for good experience, user's/consumer's guide

-production, trade, legal framework, FDA, environmental impact, economic aspect
