GROUP 1

Stimulants
Stimulants are drugs that temporarily cause wakefulness. They provide the
users mental alertness, over excitedness, and talkativeness. They are also called
uppers. They also provide physical strength and improve mental skills. This might be
the reason why some of students use stimulants during examination periods. There
are players who use this drug to make them strong. Stimulants like amphetamine are
also used by those who like to lose weight. Examples of these drugs are cocaine,
Shabu, Ecstacy and Amphetamines.
GROUP 2
Depressants
Depressants are drugs called downers, sedatives, and tranquilizers. These
drugs slow down mental processes. These are the opposite of stimulants. The
examples are barbituarates and sedatives, which are prescribed to people with
insomnia, epilepsy, and nervous breakdown, to induce sleep, and to allow the nerves
to relax. Like stimulants, depressants could have bad effects in our health when
abused. The guidance of a physician is needed when depressants are used
GROUP 3
Hallucinogens
Hallucinogens or psychedelics are drugs that affects sensation, thinking, and
emotions. They produce illusions and hallucinations, provoke the imaginations, and
disturb persons thinking. Examples of these drugs are marijuana, lysergic, acid
diethylamide (LSD), and mescaline. These drugs are of little help in field of medicine.

Teacher supervises his students in every group.

Students report what they have had discussed in their group.
