GROUP 1

Stimulants
Stimulants are drugs that temporarily cause wakefulness. They provide the users mental alertness,
over excitedness, and talkativeness. They are also called uppers. They also provide physical strength and
improve mental skills. This might be the reason why some of students use stimulants during examination
periods. There are players who use this drug to make them strong. Stimulants like amphetamine are also
used by those who like to lose weight. Examples of these drugs are cocaine, Shabu, Ecstacy and
Amphetamines.

GROUP 2

Depressants
Depressants are drugs called downers, sedatives, and tranquilizers. These drugs slow down mental
processes. These are the opposite of stimulants. The examples are barbituarates and sedatives, which are
prescribed to people with insomnia, epilepsy, and nervous breakdown, to induce sleep, and to allow the
nerves to relax. Like stimulants, depressants could have bad effects in our health when abused. The
guidance of a physician is needed when depressants are used

GROUP 3

Hallucinogens
Hallucinogens or psychedelics are drugs that affects sensation, thinking, and emotions. They
produce illusions and hallucinations, provoke the imaginations, and disturb persons thinking. Examples of
these drugs are marijuana, lysergic, acid diethylamide (LSD), and mescaline. These drugs are of little help in
field of medicine.

Teacher supervises his students in every group.

Students report what they have had discussed in their group. Teacher gives
additional information and makes some clarifications as regards to the topic presented.
