    This document provides an overview of psychoactive drugs including their effects and classifications. It discusses how tolerance and withdrawal develop with regular drug use. Drugs are categorized into depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens. Depressants slow neural activity and bodily functions while stimulants excite neural activity and arouse the body. Hallucinogens distort perceptions and evoke sensory images without sensory input. Examples are given for each drug category along with their short-term effects and potential long-term harms. The document emphasizes that all drugs trigger negative aftereffects that build tolerance and cause withdrawal symptoms over time.
