zloupotreba droga


Explanation:
u ovom kontekstu, u pitanju su droge, pa sam zato stavila 'zloupotreba droga', umesto zloupotreba supstanci (gde dolaze pored droga i alkohol i lekovi)

mozda bi bilo bolje: \'zloupotreba supstanci koje izazivaju zavisnost\' jer bi to bilo preciznije o kakvim se supstancama radi.
