Accordingly, it is of great significance to discuss this medical and legal issue in a scientific approach, trying to figure which drugs are at a greater risk to be abused by patients who have the suspect ability to be addicted to any substance. Try to develop a system that is able to prevent or at least reduces the risk. This speech aims to construct a frame to address these points.
