Why are there no “perfect drugs” that work well without side effects?

It seems like the more potent a drug/medication is, the more risks are involved with it, where as drugs with very little risk don’t help nearly as much.

On the molecular level drugs are generally telling your body to do something different. That signal change usually tells a bunch of other processes to behave differently, which in turn tell a bunch of other processes to behave differently, and so on. You can have a drug that only changes “one” thing and a zillion functions behave differently.
