Illicit drug use refers to the consumption or abuse of substances that are deemed illegal and prohibited by law. These substances often have psychoactive effects and can lead to dependence, addiction, and a range of negative health and social consequences.

Illicit drugs can include substances such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, methamphetamine, hallucinogens, and prescription drugs used without a valid prescription. Their use can result in various short-term and long-term effects on an individual's physical and mental health, including impaired judgment, memory problems, mood swings, cardiovascular issues, respiratory problems, and an increased risk of accidents and injuries.

Illicit drug use is a significant global issue that impacts individuals, families, communities, and society as a whole. It is associated with criminal activities, violence, and the spread of infectious diseases, and it can also strain healthcare and social systems.

Efforts are made by governments, organizations, and communities to prevent and reduce illicit drug use through education, counseling, treatment programs, enforcement of drug laws, and harm reduction strategies.
