I fucked it up - thanks for pointing it out, fixed it. (I switched them because smoking a cig relaxes me quite a bit.)
Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane.
Bizarroland@kbin.social 6 months agoI could have sworn nicotine was technically a stimulant because it has vasoconstrictive properties.
And I don't know anyone who has ever put off going to sleep in order to take more depressants.

Nicotine is absolutely classified as a stimulant.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a user misclassify it—I imagine it has something to do with smoking or dipping mitigating withdrawal (thus relaxing) more than the drug’s actual effects.
