    A quick Google search “a drug or other substance that affects mood or behaviour and is consumed for non-medical purposes, especially one sold illegally.”

    Merriam Webster “any controlled substance, whether sedative or stimulant:”

      Mmmm then I’m about to make delicious narcotics for breakfast. Cup of hot narcotics, and a plate of narcotics with narcotics on the side.

          Are magic mushrooms considered to be a stimulant or a sedative? I thought they were hallucinogens.

          EDIT:

          Stimulant: an agent (such as a drug) that produces a temporary increase of the functional activity or efficiency of an organism or any of its parts.

          Sedative: tending to calm, moderate, or tranquilize nervousness or excitement.

          Hallucinagen: a substance that induces hallucinations.

          Psylocibin: a hallucinogenic indole obtained from a fungus (such as Psilocybe mexicana or P. cubensis synonym Stropharia cubensis).
