Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, is an amphetamine derivative that acts as both a stimulant and a mild hallucinogen. Marijuana is not an amphetamine derivative and while it can cause mild hallucinations, it is primarily known for its sedative effects. Nembutal is a barbiturate, not an amphetamine derivative, and heroin is an opioid, not a stimulant or hallucinogen.
