Medication is also referred to as medicine, a pharmaceutical drug or drug.
It is a substance used to cure, treat, or prevent disease.
Morphine is a pain medication of the opiate family which is found naturally in a number of plants and animals. It acts directly on the central nervous system to decrease the feeling of pain.
Cocaine, also known as coke, is a strong stimulant mostly used as a recreational drug. It is commonly snorted, inhaled as smoke, or dissolved and injected into a vein.
Cannabis, also known as marijuana among other names, is a psychoactive drug from the Cannabis plant used for medical or recreational purposes.
Hence, Morphine, Cocaine and Cannabis are not a medicine based drug.
