How else can you categorise the drugs on your table?

There are four different groups of drugs whether legal or illegal. Analgesics (pain killers) Hallucinogens (have visions or hallucinations) Stimulants (uppers) Depressants (downers) Try to put your list of drugs into these four groups

Hallucinogens Facts Examples; LSD, magic mushrooms and ecstasy. They have powerful mind- altering effects and cause people to see and hear things that are not there (hallucinate). The law LSD is a Class A drug, it is illegal. Possession can lead to 7 years in jail. The maximum sentence for supplying hallucinogens is life imprisonment and an unlimited fine. The risks “Trips” or hallucinations can sometimes have very frightening effects. Taking hallucinogens when in a bad mood has been known to make people harm themselves.

Depressants Facts The law lt is legal for anyone over the age of 18 to buy alcohol. Cannabis is a class C drug. If you are found with an amount with the intent to supply you can face 2 years in prison, an unlimited fine - or both!

Stimulants Facts Examples; ecstasy, cocaine and caffeine Speed up the activity of the nervous system. Increase feelings of well-being, and increase energy and alertness. The law Can be legal (caffeine) or illegal (cocaine) Carries various penalities dependant on the classificication of the drug.

Analgesics Facts Examples; heroin and aspirin. Pain killers block nerve impulses. They reduce the pain felt and for this reason become very addictive.
