Learn English – the difference between ‘interest in’ & ‘interest for’

prepositions

When I should use 'for' after the noun 'interest' & when 'in' should be used after that?

For example, is it correct to say "I have no interest for drug"?

If you can give an elucidation with example, it will be better for me to understand.

In most of the cases, you are generally interested in.... something. The word here serves as an adjective.

As Jason says,

I am not interested in drugs OR I am very interested in history

However, 'interest for...' is not incorrect! But it's used differently. It then becomes a noun.

This museum holds particular interest for geologists.
