Are designer drugs possible?

are they already there? give an example in that case.
are drugs only about proteins or is there something more to it?

Answers:
Yes, there are designer drugs available already. Designer drugs are synthetic versions of illegal drugs created in underground labs. However, they are often more dangerous than the actual versions of the illegal drugs because they haven't been tested, and they are thus tested on drug addicts.

Early designer drugs included substitutes for heroin, amphetamines, and hallucinogens — including the designer hallucinogen MDMA (ecstacy), and its chemical cousins. There are high incentives for creating the drugs, as they are illegal and can be sold for lots of money.

The scientific defintion of a drug is a non-food chemical/substance from outside of the body that affects the body, specifically the central nervous system, and causes changes in behavior. Thus, drugs aren't only about proteins. They are about how certain chemicals affect the body.
what?! that is the dumbest thing ive ever heard
So called "Designer drugs" already exist - they are chemical compounds similar to controlled substance drugs, but with a slightly different molecular structure to avoid being categorized as a restricted substance. An example is alpha-methyfentanyl (China White), which was an unclassified variant of fentanyl, which was a controlled substance.

There is far more to drugs than simply protein - pharmacology is a field of science dedicated to the study of how chemicals (drugs) interact with living organisms.
