What are depressants and hallucinogens? Depressants cause the bodily functions to slow down. Initial side effects include slurred speech, dizziness, and a loss of coordination. The most commonly-used depressants generally fall into two classes: Barbituates and benzodiazepines, but also include alcohol, narcotics (derivatives of opiates) and sedative-hypnotics, as well as tranquilizers (such as ketamine and PCP). The general group of pharmacological agents commonly known as hallucinogens can be divided into three broad categories: Psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants. These classes of psychoactive drugs have in common that they can cause changes in perception, thought, emotion, and consciousness. Hallucinogens do not merely amplify familiar states of mind, but rather induce experiences that are qualitatively different from those of ordinary consciousness.

These three factors affect your blood alcohol level.
Time: Blood Alcohol Level is reduced by .016% every hour, but the more you drink, the longer it takes to reduce. Gender: Women become more impaired than men do after drinking the same amount of alcohol, even when differences in body weight are taken into account. This is because women's bodies have less water than men's bodies. Because alcohol mixes with body water, a given amount of alcohol becomes more highly concentrated in a woman's body than in a man's. In other words, it would be like dropping the same amount of alcohol into a much smaller pail of water. That is why the recommended drinking limit for women is lower than that of men. Women also have less dehydrogenase, a liver enzyme that breaks down alcohol, than men. So a woman's body will break down alcohol more slowly than a man's.

What are "Memory" and "Motivation"? When someone uses marijuana, chemicals travel through the bloodstream an dquickly attach to receptors on the brain's nerve cells, which receive information from other nerve cells and chemicals. When a receptor receives information, it causes changes in the nerve cell. One region of the brain that contains a lot of THC receptors is the hippocampus, which processes memory. When THC attaches to receptors in the hippocampus, it weakens short-term memory. The hippocampus also communicates with other brain regions that process new information into long-term memory. In the brain, under the influence of marijuana, new information may never register -- and may be lost from memory. Some frequent, long-term marijuana users show signs of a lack of motivation (amotivational syndrome). Their problems include not caring about what happens in their lives, no desire to work regularly, fatigue, and a lack of concern about how they look. As a result of these symptoms, some users tend to perform poorly in school or at work. Scientists are still studying these problems.
