Psychactive drugs are any substance that is mood altering or can affect your thinking. Alcohol is a psychoactive drug. The psycho in psychoactive, means of the mind.

anything that affects how you think and behave, one example of a drug that is not psychoactive is naproxen sodium, which just reduces inflammation, or aspirin. examples of psychoactives would be almost any illegal drug (maybe not steroids), any drug with opiates, tranquilizers, amphetamines (speed), and a few others.
