With all of this in mind, in an APA format, select at least 2 illegal drugs (opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, etc.) and compare with alcohol, nicotine or caffeine) and discuss in terms of the effects on the body, mind and society. You may discuss also in terms of the legalities and treatment perspectives when doing your comparisons.
