They cause hallucinations i.e., perception of what is not present around. These drugs are also known as vision producing drugs. They affect sense organs of body and produce false imaginations.
Sedatives and tranquilizers are medicines that have a calming effect. Sedatives and tranquilizers slow down certain body functions or the activity of an organ, such as the heart.
Cocaine, commonly called coke or crack is usually snorted. It has a potent stimulating action on central nervous system, producing a sense of euphoria and increased energy.
Opioids are the drugs, which bind to specific opioid receptors present in our central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract.
