Some of these are debatable, but I'm going with the answers you'd expect a school test would want.

2: F
3: T
5: T
7: T
10: T
13: F
14: T
15: T

Rest I don't know about.

I'm by no means a toxicologist or pharmacist, but here goes my vaguely educated guesses:

1) F (it's a stimulant. Too much of any stimulant is a Bad Thing)
2) F (Everything I've heard that wasn't from the anti-drug lobby indicates this)
3) T (That was one of its original purposes)
4) T (It's hard to detect precisely because it is naturally present)
5) F (They work by binding with receptors, not killing cells. That's just an unpleasant side-effect)
6) T (overuse of anything can cause problems
7) I really couldn't guess on this one.
8) F (MAOIs can react adversely with a whole range of drugs)
9) Dunno what the acronym is.
10) T (using anything excessively is bad)
11) F (mixing prozac and amphetamines sounds like a bad idea from the get-go)
12) T (and both can be mistaken easily for harmless mushrooms)
13) F (it has safe uses, but is inherantly dangerous, just like everything else in large quantities, like CO2)
14) T (so I assume; Heroin does weird shit with your head)
15) F (er, if they couldn't be used safely, then we wouldn't have medicines)
