Question

is heroin a stimulant, depressant,
narcotic, hallucinogen or inhalant

Answer 1

Heroin is classified as a **narcotic** and more specifically as an **opioid**. It operates primarily as a depressant, affecting the central nervous system to produce effects such as pain relief, sedation, and euphoria. However, it does not classify as a stimulant, hallucinogen, or inhalant. Due to its addictive nature and potential for overdose, heroin is highly regulated and considered illegal in many places.
