My name is Daniel Felipe Romero Obando; I come to expose the issue of illegal drugs or illegal.

Illegal drugs are all that are accessible throughthe black market (this would include, for example, methadone obtained surreptitiously although initially it was dispensed from legal channels): Derivatives of cannabis, heroin, cocaine, etc.These are divided into two classes.

Hard and soft drugs:

Cannabis affects almost all body systems. It combines many of the properties of alcohol, tranquilizers,opiates and alucinógenos.6
The difference between hard drugs and soft drugs is that that causes addiction and / or physical and psychic dependence, while a softdrug addiction causes only single and / or dependence, which can be only psychological level, or only physical.

Originally intended this distinction serve todistinguish the highly addictive drugs that pose serious health damage (hard), the little addictive, not to pose a serious risk for anyone who consumes them (soft). 

However thisdistinction is still used both in official discourse and in informal speech:

Hard drugs: cocaine, opiates (morphine, heroin, etc...), Alcohol, or amphetamines arecommonly described as hard drugs.
Soft drugs: The term is usually applied to cannabis (marijuana, hashish, etc...), Caffeine, etc... Usually the term appliesto substances whose consumption does not lead to maladaptive patterns of social behavior.

The distinction between soft and hard drugs is important in the drug policy of theNetherlands, among other states, where certain soft drugs enjoy official tolerance, but almost always are subject to restrictions on trade, production and consumption.
