Torchwood Miracle Day - They knew the Miracle was coming
The Torchwood team finds a warehouse full of thousands of boxes of drugs. (TV: Dead of Night)
A drug was a general term for a form of medicine. Drugs could have many beneficial uses: they could be used to cure, treat and sedate. (TV: The Daleks, The Edge of Destruction) They could also be used recreationally, like LSD, and were often addictive, like hashish and vraxoin. (PROSE: Dead Romance, TV: Marco Polo, Nightmare of Eden) A subsection of these recreational and often religious drugs were hallucinogenic drugs. (PROSE: The Left-Handed Hummingbird, Superior Beings)
As PhiCorp was in league with the Three Families and were aware of the oncoming "Miracle Day" in 2011, they stocked up metanec for at least a year before the event to make a profit off the public's great need for medication. (TV: Dead of Night)
Development
Many drugs that were in development were so new that their properties were unknown; only in combination could they function in a useful manner. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians) The Trees of Life on Tollip's World were reportedly capable of manufacturing a wide range of drugs and chemicals, including one with Hugo Tollip reckoned could give everlasting life. (PROSE: The Tree of Life)
Pharmaceutical companies regularly tested drugs' effectively, often on animal subjects, (PROSE: Warlock) but even sometimes on humans or other sentient species. (TV: Reset, New Earth)

One could acquire drugs via pharmaceutical companies like PhiCorp, (TV: Dead of Night) at private stalls like at Pharmacytown, (TV: Gridlock) or through a drug dealer. (PROSE: The Novel of the Film)
Usage
Drugs could be ingested orally, (TV: Dead of Night) by injection, (TV: Children of Earth: Day Five, Rendition, PROSE: The Quantum Archangel) consumed by "snorting", (PROSE: Christmas on a Rational Planet) or by applying chemical patches to the skin. (TV: Gridlock)
Aside from medical or recreational uses, relaxant drugs could be used as the closest one could ever get to a "truth drug" — they could break down some mental barriers and make people say things they normally wouldn't. (PROSE: Just War) Drugs could also be used to assist transformation (i.e. into Cybermen) and mutation (i.e. into Daleks). (TV: Attack of the Cybermen, AUDIO: The Time of the Daleks)
