Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Hallucinogens cause distortion of the senses, an inability to separate fact from fantasy, impaired sense of time, and severely impaired judgment. Users never know whether they will have a good trip or a bad one. Uncontrolled flashbacks (feelings and sensations associated with use despite being drug-free) can occur. This group of drugs is very dangerous because use is known to cause panic, paranoia, and death from extremely impaired judgment. Inhalants and hallucinogens are not known to cause intense itching (pruritus) or spoon-shaped nails (koilonychia).

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, E
All options are benefits of support groups.
