  I think the principle of drug research has always been to find a cure and help people get better. I wouldn’t say it can have a negative effect on society as it for the benefit of humanity in trying to help others. I don’t believe drug research could be used in chemical weapons as drugs are synthesized in a way to work on a specific pathway on the body. Many chemicals weapons are toxic substances that are poisonous, and not derived from drug products.
