TRUEBoth depressants and stimulants are equally dangerous when used incorrectly. Depressants can slow the heart rate down too much, and stimulants can speed it up too much. Both have devastating effects.
The harmful effects of stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, anabolic steroids and inhalants on the body are different for each thing used. Stimulants can lead to the heart beating too fast while depressants could slow the heartbeat down too much.
Simply put, depressants slow your body down, while stimulants speed your body up. Depressants slow your heart rate, breathing and brain activity, and make you relaxed and sleepy, while stimulants increase your heart rate, breathing and brain activity, and make you hyperactive.

Stimulants
Your heart beats faster, your blood pressure goes up, you are very awake, teeth grinding, loss of appetite, and ruinination of the teeth are all effects of stimulants.

depressants affect the heart rate by its heart rate
Nicotine and caffeine are called stimulants. They get the heart pumping and give you energy.
True
When mixed together, CNS depressants tend to amplify each other's effects, which can cause severely reduced heart rate and even death.
Coffee contains caffeine - which is a stimulant. Stimulants raise the heart-rate.
Death from drug intoxication can occur through several mechanisms, including respiratory depression, cardiac arrest, or organ failure. Central nervous system depressants, such as opioids or benzodiazepines, can slow or stop breathing, leading to hypoxia and death. Stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamine can cause fatal heart arrhythmias or stroke. Additionally, overdose can result in toxic metabolic effects, overwhelming the body's ability to function.
