Why are most drugs mostly made of carbon and hydrogen, and some with oxygen and trace amounts of other elements?

Answer 1

Because if it was made any other way it wouldn’t work
I often thought about like how does a drug know exactly what body part is Ill, or how does it know how to affect me but the truth is it isn’t

The drugs are just affecting the brain and signals in order to seem like the effects are “working” our bodies are so fragile
