00:01 Hi guys, today we're looking at the question.

00:03 Marijuana falls under what category of psychoactive drug? okay, so marijuana is what type of pa for psychoactive? okay, let's go through our answers.

00:22 So, first one is depressant.

00:24 A depressant is going to be anything that limits the activity in the central nervous system and slows down brain activity.

00:33 So it's going to lead to things like drowsiness and relaxation, stuff like that.

00:39 And examples of depressants are going to be alcohol, xanax, and ambien.

00:49 In psychology, marijuana isn't really considered a depressant, so it's not going to be a.

00:56 Just because the effects of marijuana, although, you know, potentially relaxing, don't really outline with the more biological symptoms.

01:06 Of depressants, stuff like, you know, the central nervous system slowing down.

01:09 So you're good on a for the answer.

01:12 Then we have mood elevator.

01:14 Mood elevator.

01:16 I also don't think this is going to be the answer, mainly because mood elevator isn't really a psychoactive drug category.

01:24 So right away, we don't even have to consider it as an answer.

01:26 We're good on b.

01:28 Then we have hallucinogen.

01:31 This one is going to refer to, this one's a pretty broad category, because when we think of we could think of stuff like lsd mushrooms yeah, acid like really the hallucinatory drugs and those are gonna be accurate those are gonna be hallucinogens but it's also gonna refer to anything that distorts your perceptions of reality of time of space and psychology considers marijuana a hallucinogen...
