Technically, marijuana would be considered a hallucinogen, since you tend to hallucinate. But from my experience, I've found it to be a relaxant. After it slows up my heartrate like a stimulant would, it as well slows everything down to an lower rate, and it's clear that everything in my body stops working at normal pace. Also, it makes me very calm.

"It's classified as either its own category or as a hallucinogen, depending on where you look."

THC is in no way a hallucinogen or a stimulant. Acid is one of the most common hallucinogens, or substance that causes alterations in the perception of reality. And caffeine is the most common stimulant. A stimulant quite simply stimulates the mind and body. As for being a depressant, this can only be considered somewhat true. While it causes the body and mind to relax, it also cause the dopamine in the brain to flow.

Hallucinogens are classified mainly by this process:

L. E. Hollister's criteria for establishing that a drug is hallucinogenic is:

  • in proportion to other effects, changes in thought, perception, and mood should predominate;
  • intellectual or memory impairment should be minimal;
  • stupor, narcosis, or excessive stimulation should not be an integral effect;
  • autonomic nervous system side effects should be minimal; and
  • addictive craving should be absent.
