A group of structurally dissimilar substances that lead to various false sensory perceptions sometimes leading to a tragic end such as "flying" off the 12th floor balcony is

inhalants

hallucinogens

amphetamines

depressants

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. inhalants
Can cause euphoria and altered mental status, but they typically depress the CNS and don’t reliably produce complex hallucinations or delusions.

B. hallucinogens
These drugs (like LSD, psilocybin) cause distorted perception of reality and hallucinations that can lead to dangerous behavior such as jumping from heights thinking one can fly.

C. amphetamines
These are stimulants and can cause paranoia or agitation, but not the same degree of perceptual distortion.

D. depressants
CNS depressants (e.g., benzodiazepines, barbiturates) slow brain activity but do not typically cause hallucinations or misperceptions of physical abilities.
