Answer to Question 2

The categories of psychoactive drugs include depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens. Depressants include alcohol, barbiturates, tranquilizers, and opioids. These compounds slow down the activity of the nervous system. They are typically highly addictive and can cause death if used to excess. The stimulants are drugs that increase the activity of the nervous system. Examples of stimulants are amphetamines, cocaine, MDMA, nicotine, and caffeine. These drugs are highly addictive. The hallucinogens alter sensory experiences, which produces distortions or hallucinations. Examples of these types of drugs are LSD, PCP, and marijuana. They are not known to produce physiological dependence, but can produce psychological dependence.
