From what I have read (..and “done” in my wasted youth.I don’t condone or criticize anyone for doing drugs as I feel that is their choice. I feel a person should be FULLY aware of what they’re doing and WHY they are doing it.) there are several factors; drug make-up, drug quality,dosage,physical condition and brain chemistry of the “participant”(i.e. if someone suffers from clinical depression where their serotonin levels are low, taking XTC would literally kill them, as it releases ALL of person’s serotonin at one time). An outstanding site to check is http://www.erowid.org
They cover everything from drug history,chemical make-up,dosage,laws,etc.
Worth investigating.

Cocaine and crack cocaine give you a feeling of energy. I once met a man who was a coke addict. He hands were moving very quickly and he couldn’t stop moving.
Meth gives you a feeling of paranoia.
Heroin gives you a relaxed feeling.
Magic mushrooms will cause some people to see colors, though reports of hallucinations are rare. LSD is much more likely to cause hallucinations. They will either calm you down or stress you out. There are good trips and bad trips, as many users of these drugs have reported.
Ecstasy gives you a ton of energy.
PCP can make you very angry. You will stop feeling pain. Someone on PCP is very dangerous because of this. An angry person who can punch his hand into a wall and not feel his fingers break. It is said that a man on PCP tore off his own testicles in front of police officers, though this may just be a rumor.
