Biology

Both terms are chemicals that have an effect on the body. The term medicine usually implies that the drug is helpful to cure or to alleviate symptoms; to treat a disease. A drug may or may not be helpful like in the case of illicit drugs or experimental drugs. So all medicines are drugs but all drugs may not be medicine.

Hola, me encanta el mundo forense, tengo 13 años y quiero estudiar eso. ¿Hay algún libro forense para aprender lo básico y todo
Elan Coil [88]

¡Hola a ti también! :)

Pido disculpas por si mi discurso le suena extraño; Estoy usando un traductor de Google porque solo sé un poco de español.

Hay muchos libros sobre medicina forense, que incluyen un libro llamado "Medicina forense para tontos", que probablemente sea un buen lugar para comenzar.  Si vive cerca de una biblioteca o una librería, entonces debería poder preguntarle a alguien que trabaje allí si puede ayudarlo a encontrar un par de libros para usted. Otra opción sería obtener una aplicación de algún tipo que le permita comprar / leer libros allí. Espero haber ayudado a algunos, o al menos haberles dado algunas ideas nuevas.
