Different
drugs have different effects. It's impossible to accurately predict
the effects of any drug.
Much depends on:
- The
drug and the quantity taken.
- The
mental and physical health of the user.
- Their
mood and expectations.
- Where
they are and who they're with at the time.
However,
some drugs work in similar ways, and can be divided into broad
categories:
Stimulants
Drugs which act on the central nervous system and increase brain
activity. i.e.
cocaine,
speed,
poppers,
anabolic
steroids,
ecstasy and tobacco.
Depressants
Drugs which act on the central nervous system and slow down brain
activity. i.e. alcohol,
tranquillisers,
gases,
aerosols
& glue.
Hallucinogens
Drugs which act on the mind, distorting the way users see and hear
things, i.e.
LSD,
magic
mushrooms,
cannabis
and
ketamine.
Analgesics
Drugs which have a painkilling effect and which can also bring on
feelings of warmth and contentment, i.e. heroin,
morphine,
opium
The individual drug information sheets on JoSon.Com are
intended as a guide to different drugs, their characteristics,
effects and dangers. And keep in mind that ignorance is no excuse
when it comes to drug laws.
