Drugs have caused over 1,000 deaths in just England, not counting the other countries in addition to the harmful effects. There are three types of drugs; Hallucinogens, Stimulants, and Depressants.
Depressants- consisting of alcohol, pot, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, opiates and opioids, and some solvents and inhalants- are known to cause constriction of the pupils, clammy skin, and shallow breathing. But with larger intakes of the substances it can cause vomiting, unconsciousness, and death, after losing coordination and concentration.
Stimulants- the less harmful being ephedrine, caffeine, and nicotine; more harmful being meth, cocaine, and ecstasy- cause the user's heart rate, body pressure, and blood pressure to increase. With a large intake of the substance it can cause seizures, headaches, paranoia, and more.
Hallucinogens- being LSD, shrooms, mescaline, PCP, and cannabis- cause the pupils to dilate, a loss of appetite, increased activity, sweating, panic, euphoria, disturbance with coming to reality, or bizarre behavior. 50.
Placing in the top of 20 most harmful drugs is heroin, with the ability to be insufflated, injected, smoked, suppository, or oral (oral being the least harmful). Placed the most dangerous because of the high the user wants to reach every time, the only difference that the next high requires a higher dose of heroin.
