...and then there is refined sugar (http://www.rotten.com/library/crime/drugs/sugar/).
...my brother who is in Life Sciences (and is blessed with a high metabolism so he's a thin furnace) frequently disagree with me over this, he held that sugar is not a drug, it is food and we need it for energy.
Well, I think sugars in our food isn't drug, but refined, it is. After all, what heroin does is mimic endorphins naturally released by our body during exercise and sex and feeling pain, and is naturally a good thing, and something we NEED or we wouldn't get through life at all.
...and this is part of why I think we need a more scientific attitude towards drugs. As opposed to, The Government Says This Is Illegal Because It's Bad, the gov is always right, versus this is not a DRUG and therefore I can't die from it.
