Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Any drug that distorts the operations of the central nervous system (CNS) is considered a psychoactive drug. Each of these drugs has the capacity to enter the bloodstream, circulate throughout the body and cross the blood brain barrier, altering the function of the CNS.
