Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Barbiturates are a class of drugs that primarily depress the central nervous system, leading to sedation, relaxation, and a decrease in cognitive and bodily functions. They are often prescribed as sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, and pre-operative sedatives. They can also be used recreationally and can be highly addictive and dangerous when misused.
