Explanation:

Scenario 1:

Jordan smoked a leafy green substance, felt relaxed, had heightened senses, faster heart rate, dry mouth, hunger, and laughter. These are typical effects of Marijuana.

Scenario 2:

Lisa took a pill, felt happy, energetic, connected, with enhanced sensory perception (louder music, brighter colors). These match Ecstasy's effects.

Scenario 3:

Mark snorted a white powder, got energy, confidence, irritated nose, fast talking, and restlessness. These are consistent with Cocaine use.

Sam injected a brown powder, felt relaxation, pain relief, and craving. Heroin (a brown powder when in some forms) causes these effects, including addiction signs.
