How do drugs affect the user?
Drugs are defined as any substance that alters normal body function. Non-psychotropic drugs include pain relievers (such as paracetamol or ibuprofen), calcium carbonate (such as TUMS), and many more. Psychotropic drugs effect the mental state of users. There are three most common psychotropic drug categories: stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens. Stimulants increase brain activity and heart activity, leading to increased mental focus and memory making the user feel more alert while also making physical tasks less tiring. Stimulants range in strength, caffeine being a mild stimulant and methamphetamine being a strong stimulant. Nicotine, in cigarettes is also a stimulant. Depressants decrease brain activity and heart activity, leading to shortened attention span and drowsiness. Depressants include alcohol, opiates, and barbiturates. Some depressants bring euphoria. Hallucinogens act on certain receptors within the brain altering perception. Most hallucinogens combine with a stimulant (as in the case of MDMA) or a depressant (marijuana), and cause varying degrees from small visual hallucinations to complete disconnection from reality. Marijuana, ecstasy, salvia, and peyote are all examples of hallucinogens.
