Having said that, as a young seeker of truth and knowledge, I believed on what he quoted. Today, we are living in a world of chemicals. According to Katsung K.G. Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, it is estimated that more than 60,000 chemicals are in common use and about 500 new chemicals are said to enter the commercial market annually and for us to be safe, one needs to know how these exogenous substances can be utilized by society without being hazardous to its members and the environment. And so we should have a healthy dose of TOXICOLOGY.
TOXICOLOGY AND ITS SUBDIVISIONS
Toxicology is the branch of science that is concerned with the adverse effects of chemical and physical agents on all living system. In biomedical world, toxicology on the other hand extensively deals with the study of how can drugs be safely use for humans the demonstration of safety or hazard associated with the use of these drugs.
To have more of these, lets take a moment for this video:

In many aspects of modernity, it has its own reserves that makes it equally significant with molecular biology, anatomy physiology and other sciences. Toxicology has different branches.

The science of studying bioactive substances that occur on the food we eat. It assess effects of components of chemical matrix on our diet and the toxic agents or contaminating agents that may be introduce on food handling.
Aside from the application of toxicology on different field of sciences, it is also important in studying substance of abuse. These are substances which are taken in large amount and may lead to dependency and psychological problems. To have more of this you can see it by clicking here. Does your friends ask you to stop using any drug or of like? but every time you encounter this substance in mind you simply feel you are drawn to it and it has power over you?
