The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion **Assertion:** LSD and marijuana are clinically used as analgesics. - **Explanation:** - LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) and marijuana (cannabis) are primarily known as hallucinogens. - Analgesics are substances used to relieve pain, and while marijuana has been explored for its potential pain-relieving properties in some medical contexts, LSD is not recognized as an analgesic. - Therefore, the assertion that both LSD and marijuana are clinically used as analgesics is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason **Reason:** Both these drugs suppress brain function. - **Explanation:** - LSD and marijuana do not suppress brain function; instead, they alter perception and can enhance certain brain activities. - LSD is known to create hallucinations and change sensory perceptions, while marijuana can affect mood and cognition. - Therefore, the reason that both drugs suppress brain function is also **incorrect**. ### Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, the correct answer is **D: Both are wrong**. ---
