DRUGS
A drug is any substance
 which, when taken into the
body, alters the body's
function either physically
and/or psychologically.
Drugs may be legal (alcohol,
caffeine and tobacco) or
illegal ( cannabis, ecstasy,
cocaine and heroin).
TYPES OF
DRUGS
Depressants: Drugs that decrease alertness by slowing
down the activity of the central nervous system (e.g.,
heroin, alcohol and analgesics).
Stimulants: Drugs that increase the body's state of arousal
by increasing the activity of the brain (e.g., caffeine,
nicotine and amphetamines)
Hallucinogens: Drugs that alter perception and can cause
hallucinations, such as seeing or hearing something that is
not there (e.g., LSD and 'magic mushrooms'). 
Other: Some drugs fall into the 'other' category, as they
may have properties of more than one of the above
categories (e.g., cannabis has depressive, hallucinogenic
and some stimulant properties).
