Question

explain what distinguishes medicines from drugs and why medicines are drugs but not all are medicines

Answer 1

I'm not an expert, but medicine's are drugs, created to help people, in certain ways, such as Adderall helping with ADHD or Elderberry. But drugs that aren't medicine are like cocaine that might've been used for medicinal uses back in the day, but now is just used for personal use, such as weed, it can be considered medicinal but it's used more for pleasure than to help a illness
