Many substances are taken legally through prescriptions and others are freely available in beverages and foodstuffs. Some are available but are not intended to be imbibed e.g. glue or nitrous oxide.

Study this course to find out about the effects of legal, illegal and prescribed drugs on the mind, body and behaviour. Topics covered include: stimulants, narcotics, hallucinogens, marijuana, steroids, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, solvents, sedatives, prescription drugs, and others.
