(1) Soma, Quaaludes, and some anti-depressants usually dilate (2) ETOH, Quaaludes, and some anti-depressants may elevate. (3) Certain psychedelic amphetamines may cause slowing. (4) Possibly dilated. (5) Down with anesthetic gases, up with volatile solvents and aerosols. 7 - 2 Preliminary Training for DEC Program (6) Possibly normal.
