help calm down patients with mental disorders or relieve patient’s pain and suffering.
The rampant use of drugs may result to a bad, harmful or dangerous effect to oneself,
family, school, and community. It also gives a burden to health, sociocultural,
psychological, legal, and economic dimensions.
Various risk of drug use has been discovered by medical science. These risks
