As a drug lover myself, I'm going to say no but here me out..

When you compare drugs (DR.. vs Street) then you have to look at why it's being used:

- There's no crime related to what your prescribed, something you might buy off the street could fund crime.. Buying even weak drugs (weed, speed) may gateway to something harder (Coke, Meth, H) as alot of dealers always try and push you into addiction for more $$$..

- Overdose is more possible on the street also ...... let's take two of our favourite drugs Cocaine and Heroin ...... both the drugs are cut ALOT and will vary from different batches and dealers, purity is almost impossible to tell with both untill you take them or good at tasting (even so that's fakeable)

- Route of administraton, if your prescribed drug Y and you take it orally and according to dosage to help you with pain or depression then that's alot different from buying it off the street and shooting it or blowing for a buzz or high..

Yes, alot of drugs doctors prescribe are like what you can buy from the street.. Main ones I see are the likes of Ritalin, Addreal and any opaite based drug.. Most hard drugs aren't prescibed it's mainly the safer ones..

Overdose and side effects are still possible on prescribed drugs.. Prolonged use of drugs that pose dependacy will usually need subsituting or weaning this applys to the street and doctors drugs..

Heck some OTC drugs are dangerious, high(able) and dangerious..

But in black and white ...... the active chemicals are the same, it's just the way they are being used..Health Question & Answer
