Most drugs can be classified into three main categories: hallucinogens, stimulants, and depressants. Some drugs may fall under two or even all three categories. It’s important for participants to understand the effects of these drugs, so they can recognise how they present and the impact they have. This understanding is crucial for making informed decisions and recognising the risks associated with drug use.
