Drug abuse is a major plot point in early seasons with a relative of the main character abusing drugs.

In episode 4 season 1, the arrow kills a bird in a flashback scene a few days after being deserted on the island, as he was starving and needed to eat.

Early im aeason 1, Laurel Lance is kidnapped by a serial killer named the Dollmaker who forces young women to drink liquid silicone through a tube which solidifies inside their body and suffocated them. The episode is actually quite disturbing, and if you skip it, you won't miss much in the long term plot (other than some bonding between Oliver and Felicity). The big bad of season 4 uses telekinesis to choke his victims in a way identical to Darth Vader. It's best to assume that every fight scene against Damien will result in someone being choked but eventually escaping. Except one, but no spoilers.

In season 4, Oliver cuts another character’s hand off to win a fight. The characters will go on to reference/joke about it here and there for at least another season afterwards.

Plenty of torture scenes that include references to fingernails being pulled off (you don’t see it but you hear the reaction) & fingers being broken/dislocated.

Many many times. Do keep in mind, however, that this is a show designed for teenagers. It's nowhere near as gory as shows like the Boys, Game of Thrones or Walking Dead. The torture scenes are still dark but there's no graphic ones. Probably the worst one is when Tobias Church kidnaps Renee Ramirez in the first few episodes of Season 5. He hangs Renee with chains to act as a punching bag while he beats him with brass knuckles. Also, much later in the season, Oliver is kidnapped by Prometheus and held for multiple days. He is waterboarded for a prolonged amount of time, shot with 3 arrows in quick succession and is forced to watch one of his "allies" die when Prometheus "breaks her neck" in front of him.

Only twice and they both happen in season 2.
**Spoiler alert**
The first one happens when Slade fights Billy. He stabs him in the eye with his machete. Only the sound is heard but there's no visual gore because Billy's wearing a ballistic mask. Towards the end of the season, in the penultimate flashback (I think), Oliver fights Slade and has an option to either cure his Mirakuru or kill him. Slade threatens to kill his family, so Oliver snaps and stabs Slade in the eye with an arrow. There's an up close shot of Slade going limping his head dropping back down. The arrow is visible coming out of slades eye but there's no closeup on the mutilated eye itself

There’s some plot points about character(s) being on the run/wanted from the cops (mostly their vigilante identities)
One of the main characters is a police captain. There’s a few plot points about corrupted police forces and there’s another plot points where they work with the police.

Someone is drugged at least every other episode, it feels like. So it’s very common.

There are many hospital scenes throughout the series, often times used when someone is terribly injured and is then going die surrounded by their friends and family, Laurel Lance and Quinton Lance both die this way
