  3. Stimulants (b): Stimulants, such as caffeine, nicotine, and amphetamines, increase CNS activation and behavioral activity, leading to heightened alertness and energy.
  4. Hallucinogens (e): Hallucinogens, such as LSD and psilocybin, affect mental and emotional functioning and can cause distortions in sensory and perceptual experiences.
  5. Cannabis (c): Cannabis is known for its calming and mild-euphoria inducing effects. It has been legalized for recreational use in many states.
