Answer:

A.they are chemically different substances

Explanation:

Drugs and medicines are two different thing though pepole tends to use the word interchangeably. Drugs are not considered as medicine because of the <em>fact that they are chemically different substances. </em>

Some drugs gives people the hallucinating effects instead of to cure, treat or prevent diseases hence the reason why it is banned and a heavy fine given to some caught with it.

Medicine on the other hand, are meant to prevent or cure diseases. most of this could be purchased without the doctors prescription in the pharmacies.

The BLANK excrete(s) excess salts and water. Sweet glands Adrenal glands Small intestine
Andreyy89
The answer is sweat glands, not sweet glands :)

Pretty much all the other answers don't come even close for consideration. Small intestines have no way of excreting salts and water outside our body and neither do adrenal glands (these are resposible for the release of different hormones).
