CATEGORIES
OF DRUGS

Hallucinogens
 slow down the messages between the
brain and the body — they don’t
necessarily make you feel depressed.
The slower messages affect:
• your concentration and
coordination
• your ability to respond to what’s
happening around you
DEPRESSANTS • Small doses of depressants can
make you feel relaxed, calm and
less inhibited.
• Larger doses can cause sleepiness,
vomiting and nausea,
unconsciousness and even death.
 change your sense of reality — you can have
hallucinations. Your senses are distorted and the
way you see, hear, taste, smell or feel things is
different. For example, you may see or hear
things that are not really there, or you may have
unusual thoughts or feelings.
• Small doses can cause a feeling of floating,
numbness, confusion, disorientation, or
dizziness.
• Larger doses may cause hallucinations,

Hallucinogens
memory loss, distress, anxiety, increased heart
rate, paranoia, panic and aggression.
Examples include:
• cannabis
• ketamine
• LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide)
• psilocybin (magic mushrooms)
• PCP (phencyclidine)
 Speed up the messages between the brain and the
body. This can cause:
• your heart to beat faster
• your blood pressure to go up
• your body temperature to go up — leading to heat
exhaustion or even heat stroke
• reduced appetite
• agitation
• sleeplessness
• You can feel more awake, alert, confident or
energetic.
Stimulants • Larger doses can cause anxiety, panic, seizures,
stomach cramps and paranoia.
Examples include:
• amphetamines (speed and ice)
• caffeine
• cocaine
• ecstasy (MDMA —
