Amphetamines - are stimulants or "uppers" usually made synthetically in illegal labs. The effects include stimulation of the central nervous system, a sense of well-being and higher energy, a release of social inhibitions, and feelings of cleverness, competence and power. The term "amphetamine" refers to a large class of stimulants: amphetamines, dextroamphetamines, and methamphetamines.
Opiates - a major class of drugs that depress the central nervous system and are used principally to relieve pain. Examples include morphine, heroin, and codeine.
Codeine - An alkaloid of opium extracted from morphine. Codeine's effects resemble those of morphine but with only one-sixth to one-tenth of the analgesic action. Codeine is commonly found in cough medicine and minor prescription pain relievers.
