Drogová

Drogová is an adjective used in Czech and Slovak to denote a relation to drugs. It derives from droga (drug) and is used to describe phenomena, substances, and policies connected with illegal or legal psychoactive substances. The form agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies: drogová (feminine singular), drogový (masculine singular), drogové (neuter singular or plural).

Common usages include drogová závislost (drug addiction), drogová kriminalita (drug-related crime), drogové látky (drug substances), and drogová epidemie (drug epidemic). The term also appears in phrases such as drogová politika (drug policy), drogová prevence (drug prevention), and drogová léčba (drug treatment). In public discourse, drogová is typically neutral, serving to classify or describe phenomena linked to narcotics, psychotropic substances, or other controlled substances, whether illegal or prescribed.

In the Czech context the adjective follows standard inflection; a parallel system exists in Slovak. The term is frequently found in official reports, academic writing, media coverage, and policy discussions addressing risks, prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and legal frameworks related to drug use and drug trafficking.
