Today = we are in the motor (efferent) system and the somatic (voluntary) system. Psychoactive drugs = drugs that goes into the cns not what we are doing today . To reduce secretion (e. g. sweat less, salivate less, cry less) Blood pressure (smooth muscles line vessels, if promote contraction you would make blood pressure higher)
