    Natural drug
    Semisynthetic drug
    Synthetic drug
    It can be found in nature and will not require strong physical or chemical procedure changes.These are derived from nature, but the chemical structure of the drug is altered. These drugs require more sophisticated separation or synthesis procedures.They are chemically derived drugs. They are not found in nature, they are synthesized in labs.
    For example: Nicotine.For example: Cocaine For example: Morphine
