Drug damage is the extent to which psychoactive drugs are harmful to the user and are measured in various ways, such as addiction and potential physical harm. The more dangerous drugs are called "hard drugs" and less harmful drugs are called "soft drugs". The term "soft medicine" is considered controversial by its critics as it may imply that soft medicines do not pose a hazard or are insignificant.

Drug policies
The distinction between soft drugs and drugs is important in drug policy in the Netherlands, where the production of marijuana, retail and use is under official tolerance, depending on the particular conditions. The Dutch Opium Act contains two lists of drugs, List I and II, which are perceived daily as a list of hard and soft drugs. Other countries usually have more than two categories. For example, the United States has five schedules in the Controlled Substance Act, ranging from one to five. The United Kingdom has three classes in the Drug Abuse Act of 1971: A, B and C.
