 AB    The spreading of drugs in the western world has increased dramatically,
       especially among young people. Over 10% of the population of the USA in
       reproductive age uses cannabinoids, cocaine, heroin or other drugs. Data
       related to Italy indicates a progressive increase in cocaine abuse, that
       adds up to the already dramatic rise in heroin and alcohol abuse.
       Although the research work on the reproductive effects of drugs has
       started recently and is still limited, the damages that they can cause
       to endocrine system, pregnancy and conceptus are clear.
