Answer:

A a drug that slows nervous system activity and relaxes tension

Explanation:  

Depressants are chemical substances that directly affect the Central Nervous System, causing a slow or low brain activity and are accompanied by feelings of relaxation, like when drinking alcohol, a legal depressant , or benzodiazepines, that are commonly more known as sleeping pills, they cause drowsiness, lowering levels of blood pressure, and other drugs like barbiturates, often have a big sedative effect.

<em>Many different kinds of depressants include also  substances coming from Opioids, for lessening pain, or Cannabis, commonly and recently studied for its  Effects of Central Nervous System </em>

Since the Central nervous system depressants increase the production of the neurotransmitter GABA, the sensations often associated to the brain will be opposed to the other antagonic processes : stimulating drugs.

What are good Hinduism and Buddhism quotes and rationales?? Please help
bezimeni [28]
“One of the strangest controversies in the history of Orientalism turned upon the “origin of bhakti”, as if devotion had at some given moment been a new idea and thenceforth a fashionable one. It would have been simpler to observe that the word bhakti means primarily a given share, and therefore also the devotion or love that all liberality presupposes; and so that inasmuch as one “gives God his share” (bhagam), i.e. sacrifces, one is his bhakta. Thus in the hymn, “If thou givest me my share” amounts to saying “If thou lovest me”. It has often been pointed out that the Sacrifice was thought of as a commerce between Gods and men: but not often realised that by introducing into traditional conceptions of trade notions derived from our own internecine commercial transactions, we have falsified our understanding of the original sense of such a commerce, which was actually more of the potlatsh type, a competition in giving, than like our competitions in taking.
