Question

__________are depressants with various legitimate medical uses, such as relief from pain, anxiety, and tension, but people can become rapidly dependent on them.

Answer 1

Answer:

Barbiturates.

Explanation:

As the exercise briefly explains, barbiturates are depressants with various legitimate medical uses, such as relief from pain, anxiety, and tension, but people can become rapidly dependent on them. This type of drug, a barbiturate, acts as a depressant for the central nervous system and, even if relieves pain, anxiety and tension, it can also develop a rapid addiction to them, with a high percentage of overdose potential and more side effects.
