A hard drug is a scary substance with a high potential for abuse, death, or severe addiction. Trying these drugs can lead to a sad life as a junkie.
Examples of hard drugs include crystal meth, heroin, cocaine, opium and most things that require you to use a needle.
A soft drug is a psychoactive substance that is less addictive or dangerous than the so-called 'hard drugs'. Usually with these drugs its impossible to overdose unless you're a real f*cking moron and addiction potential tends to be much less than something like crystal meth.
Examples of soft drugs include alcohol, marijuana, caffeine, nicotine, and shrooms.
