Abstract
This chapter discusses the physical consequences of substance abuse, including the representative drugs of alcohol, opioids, cannabis, toluene, cocaine, and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Nicotine is briefly addressed as a legal drug that is not involved in the drug court process but has significant health effects, particularly when used with another drug.
