    Drugs
    Depressant drugs slow down a person’s
    central nervous system (CNS). The

    brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Doctors
    commonly prescribe depressant drugs to
    help certain persons to be less angry, less
    stressed or tensed.
    Depressant drugs relax muscles and
    nerves. These drugs also make
    patients feel sleepy and light-
    headed. This drug include alcohol,
    barbiturates, and tranquilizers.

    central nervous system. It haves
    the opposite of depressants. This

    negative effects of this include
    depression and tiredness.

    amphetamines which includes
    shabu, caffeine, nicotine, and
    cocaine.

    and induce sleepiness. In medicine,

    Inhalants are found in ordinary household
    chemical products and anesthetics. It is
    readily available and accessible to young
    children. Inhalant intoxication is similar
    to the signs and symptoms of alcohol
    intoxication.

    chemicals sniffed, inhaled or huffed
    by the user. Continuous use and abuse
    leads to delusions, brain damage, liver
