المخدرات الترفيهية

I have never heard the term عقار or its plural used to refer to drugs of this sort - مخدرات is always used. المخدرات الترفيهية is used in Arabic, including on Wikipedia, though I am sure that المخدرات on its own is more common

neutral Ahmed Ahmed : Both terms "المخدرات" & "العقاقير المخدرة" are perfectly OK. If you google "العقاقير المخدرة", you will get 61,000 results.
