What is another word for recreational drug?
Pronunciation: [ɹˌɛkɹiːˈe͡ɪʃənə͡l dɹˈʌɡ] (IPA) 
The term "recreational drug" refers to a drug that is used for non-medical purposes and is primarily used for recreational purposes. However, the use of such informal terminology opens up the possibility for stigmatization and negative connotations. Instead, people may use synonyms such as "party drug" or "club drug" to refer to drugs commonly associated with social events or dance clubs. Other synonyms include "mind-altering substance" or "psychedelic drug," which highlight the drug's ability to change one's perceptions or consciousness. Alternatively, the phrase "illegal drug" may be used to describe substances that are prohibited by the law. It is important to use terminology that is accurate and free of judgment when referring to drug use.
