IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

Answer:

Drugs affect your body's central nervous system. They affect how you think, feel and behave. The three main types are depressants, hallucinogens and stimulants:

The one I find personally the worst - Depressants slow or 'depress' the function of the central nervous system. They slow the messages going to and from your brain. In small quantities depressants can cause a person to feel relaxed and less inhibited. In large amounts they may cause vomiting, unconsciousness and death. Depressants affect your concentration and coordination, and slow your ability to respond to situations. It is important to not operate heavy machinery while taking depressants. Alcohol, cannabis, GHB, opiates (heroin, morphine, codeine) and benzodiazepines (minor tranquillisers) are examples of depressants.

Hallucinogens distort your sense of reality. You may see or hear things that are not really there, or see things in a distorted way. Other effects can include emotional and psychological euphoria, jaw clenching, panic, paranoia, gastric upset and nausea. Ketamine, LSD, PCP, 'magic mushrooms' and cannabis are examples of hallucinogens.

Stimulants speed or 'stimulate' the central nervous system. They speed up messaging to and from the brain, making you feel more alert and confident. This can cause increased heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature, reduced appetite, agitation and sleeplessness. In large amounts stimulants may cause anxiety, panic, seizures, stomach cramps and paranoia. Caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines (speed and Ice), cocaine and ecstasy (MDMA) are examples of stimulants.

those are 3 ways it effects, personally I find the first one/ "Depressants" the worst

The patent length for drugs to treat fatal diseases is reduced to five years, and current patents for such drugs that are alread
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Hi

False

Explanation:

Since the way to protect the innovation of a product, in this case of a medicine, is by giving it a period of time in which it has exclusivity of sale in the market. The duration of the patent is 20 years from the date of filing of the patent application. Once this time passes, any manufacturer that meets the quality requirements can produce that same medicine.

In some countries, it is possible to obtain a longer period of protection for pharmaceutical products. This is awarded as compensation for the loss of the actual period of protection for possible delays in obtaining approval of the drug for certification.
