DRUGS OF ABUSE

Drugs of Abuse delivers clear, scientific information about drugs during a factual, straightforward way. With the knowledge during this guide, parents and caregivers can help their children make smart choices and avoid the results of substance abuse . Drugs are classified chemically consistent with how they affect the brain and therefore the body. Common classifications include stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, and opioids. Additionally, the DEA legally classifies drugs into schedules (I, II, III, IV, and V) supported their medical use and potential for abuse and dependence.
the four classes of medicine are Hallucinogens, Opioids and Opiates, Stimulants, Depressants.
 These drugs are primarily toxic to the central nervous system; amphetamine and cocaine cause stimulation of the system (hallucinations and delirium), and heroin causes Depression of the system (depressed respiration and coma). In contrast, phencyclidine and methaqualone are biphasic, producing first depression (drowsiness) then stimulation of the central systema nervosum (delirium and seizures). Amphetamines also affect the alimentary canal (anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) and stimulate the circulatory system (increased vital sign and pulse , palpitations, and abnormal heart rhythm). additionally to hallucinations and delirium, cocaine causes euphoria, arousal , confusion, and sympathetic stimulation. Phencyclidine is additionally known to cause aggression and psychotic behaviour, while methaqualone produces excessive dreaming and amnesia.
