 Hallucinogens  As stated before, hallucinogens are a group of drugs that alter a person's awareness of their surroundings, as well as their own thoughts and feelings. Just like the name, these drugs can cause hallucinations which may make unrealistic things seem very real. These drugs can also cause the user to feel out of control disconnected from their body and the environment.  LSD or Lysergic Acid is an example of hallucinogen drugs and is known to be one of the most powerful mind-altering drugs which cause hallucinations. It was first developed 1938 with the aim to treat respiratory depression, a type of breathing disorder which is characterized by slow and ineffective breathing. It was only in the 1960 where this drug was used for recreational purposes or to get "high". People that use LSD can cause a person to see vivid bright colors, experience blurred visions and also see distorted shapes and faces. A person using LSD may also experience shaking, lightheadedness...

 Publicity Stunt or not? King Monada and Makhadzi are amonng Limpopo music giants and have partnered up to try and bring Mzansi some great music, but it seems like there's trouble with their new single, "Ghanama", or is there?  It is actually very hard to determine if the beef or misunderstanding between the two Limpopian artists is actually genuine or if it is just a publicity stunt to hype up the song before its official release. It is quite common for artists that work on a project together to have disagreements on a couple of issues, in most cases, it's about money and how the money generated should be distributed. There are short clips circulating on social media where the two artists are seen celebrating the creation of the new single, but the release date was not mentioned. Prince Benza is also part of the creations of the new single, but it seems like he is not entertaining this beef that is going on. Apparently, these two artists are in dispute over the owner...

 Depressants  Unlike stimulants, depressants reduce arousal, alertness or awareness. Depressants do not get you depressed, but put you in a state of relaxation and reduce or lower your activeness. This usually affects a person's concentration and coordination. They also slow down a person's ability to respond to certain situations. An overdose of depressants can cause drowsiness, vomiting, unconsciousness and even death.  Alcohol . Now, alcohol is the most commonly known and commonly used depressant, maybe because it is easily accessible and is always available. Someone might say that people seem very energetic when they consume alcohol, but this is because alcohol first relaxed a person's internal inhibitors. Inhibitors are basically your instincts that limit you from certain behaviors and so on, that's why when a person consumes alcohol, they act out of character. After relaxing a person's internal inhibitors, it starts relating the rest of the body, which is why ...
