Explanation:

Art. 47 has used the word “drugs”, hence it is a directive against such substances. The Parliament has not made any law providing right to physical health.
But the Parliament has recently passed the Mental Healthcare Act declaring mental health care a statutory right.
In Parmananda Katara case, the Supreme Court has held that without waiting for legal formalities, medical aid should be extended to such persons.
