:*[[Depressant]] - A [[drug]] which increases [[Reaction Time|reaction time]] making the user appear slower.
:*[[Medicine|Medicinal Drug]]s - Any [[drug]] taken to improve [[health]].
====Medicine====
Some common [[medicine]] types you may have heard of:
*[[Pain Killer]]s - They can reduce pain or even make it go away.
*[[Antibiotic]]s - They weaken [[bacteria]] when you have an infection.
*[[Antihistamine]]s - They reduce the symptoms of [[hayfever]].
====Legal Drugs====
The legal [[drug]]s we take that are not [[medicine]] are:
*[[Alcohol (Drug)|Alcohol]] - Slows your reactions and makes you over confident.
*[[Caffeine]] - Speeds up your reaction speed.
*[[Nicotine]] - Makes you feel relaxed but speeds up your heart rate.
====Illegal Drugs====
Some dangerous illegal [[drug]]s that you may have heard of:
*Cannabis - Can make you feel happy or paranoid but makes you lazy and can lead to psychosis.
*Cocaine - Is a [[stimulant]] and makes you feel more confident but is extremely addictive, makes you feel depressed afterwards and damages the blood vessels that it touches leading the [[tissue]] in the affected area to die. It can lead to the loss of teeth, disintegration of the nose and can cause the bones in the face to crumble.
*Heroin - Makes you feel happy and sleepy but is extremely addictive, makes you feel depressed when you don't have it, can lead to infections that need amputation and spreads diseases like [[HIV]].
*LSD - Gives you hallucinations that can seem amusing or can seem very scary. Hallucinations might include: Thinking you're invincible so you walk into traffic on the motorway. Believing spiders are chasing you and jumping out of a window to escape them. Feeling constantly thirsty and drinking so much water that it kills you.
: These drugs are illegal because they are so much more dangerous than [[caffeine]], [[Alcohol (Drug)|alcohol]] and [[nicotine]]. What makes them even worse is that the people that sell them may have added other ingredients that can be even more harmful.
