Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Barbiturates and benzodiazepines are classified as sedatives, anxiolytics, and hypnotics because they depress the central nervous system to produce a calming effect. Phencyclidine (PCP), on the other hand, is classified as a hallucinogen because it can cause users to see, hear, or feel things that are not there.
