Could you please elaborate on the types of drugs that are prohibited in Canada? Are there any specific categories or classes of substances that are universally banned, or does the ban vary depending on the specific drug and its potential risks? Is there a comprehensive list available outlining the illegal drugs in Canada, or do new substances get added to the list periodically? Additionally, are there any legal exceptions or allowances for certain drugs under specific circumstances, such as medical use or research purposes?

    MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy, is a stimulant and hallucinogen that can cause feelings of euphoria, empathy, and distorted sensory perception. However, it can also lead to dehydration, hyperthermia, and even death in extreme cases.

    GHB, or gamma-hydroxybutyrate, is a depressant that can cause sedation, amnesia, and in some cases, coma or death. It is often used as a date rape drug due to its ability to render individuals unconscious.

    Heroin, another highly addictive opioid, produces a euphoric high but can quickly lead to tolerance, dependence, and addiction. Long-term use can result in collapsed veins, liver disease, and other severe health complications.
