drugs
A drug is any substance, natural or synthetic, that affects the mind or
body. Its use, whether legal or illegal, depends on purpose, duration,
side effects, and the person involved. Illegal drug use for pleasure can
be risky.

stimulants
Stimulants are drugs that speed up the body's systems, increasing
alertness and physical energy. They include prescription drugs like
amphetamines and illegal substances like methamphetamine and
cocaine. Stimulants can boost self-esteem, enhance performance,
reduce appetite, and prolong wakefulness. However, long-term or high
doses can cause paranoia, aggression, panic, hallucinations, and even
violent or suicidal behavior.

Depressant
Depressants are drugs that help induce sleep, prevent
seizures, and relieve anxiety or muscle spasms. They
can quickly lead to dependence, where users need
more to function, increasing the risk of coma or death.
While some depressants are legally prescribed for
short-term insomnia treatment, they can also be
misused, such as in cases of date rape.

Hallucinogens
Hallucinogens are drugs that produce delusions and
hallucinations as well as severe changes in mood and
behavior. In fact, users speak of "hearing" colors and
"seeing" sounds. This major classification includes
Marijuana, Cannabis, or Indian Hemp.
