Answer 2

Answer:

The advantages of drugs are there positive effects. e.g. Aspirin can reduce inflammation, ease a headache, reduce the risk of a heart attack. The disadvantage are there negative effects, in aspirins case it causes stomach irritation and bleeding, Depending on the situation what is an advantage to some is a disadvantage to others. Looking at aspirin it reduces or prevents blood from clotting: this can be helpful for many in reducing the risk of death (mainly from from stroke and heart attacks) but for another group it can increase the risk of death substantially (E.g. in individuals with low platelet count and/or conditions such as esophageal varices the increased risk of bleeding to death outweighs other benefits).

All drugs have both advantages and disadvantages it depends on the drug, the dose, the recipient and even the setting where they were taken. I suspect that the question was not referring to drugs such as aspirin but referring to recreational drugs. The answer is the same, alcohol / methamphetamine / heroin / LSD have, depending on your point of view, advantages of being enjoyable, reducing inhibitions, relieving pain and disadvantages of risk of addiction, health problems, illegality and so on.It all depends how, where and when they are used and who is using them.
