Without pretending a full categorization of drugs, another group would
be composed of those drugs that make people active. Cocaine,
metamphetamines, steroids and other psychoactives. These group of
drugs is perhaps the most dangerous, both by their known effects on
the individual's body as by their impact on the metabolism. This is
also a group of drugs that can have real externalities in their
consume (effects on other people's well being caused by the fact of
their use, mostly negative). They are known to make individuals
aggressive and intolerant and instead of having a refractory period
have instead an effect of increased tolerance, that makes for an
increasing consumption even if they don't create compulsion
(compulsion in this case may be a aprt of the increased tolerance).
They also have an obvious depressive effect on the individual; the
fact that the metabolism is accelerated means that sooner or later the
body will need "recharging". This group of drugs doesn't need "side
effects", as their very effect is almost certain to propduce permanent
effects in an individual's life. It is well known the fact of nose
bleeding and heart attacks in users...
