The symptoms described suggest that Pedro has taken a central nervous system depressant, and benzodiazepines are a common class of drugs that produce these effects. Amphetamines and cocaine are stimulants and would not produce lethargy or central nervous system depression. Coffee is a stimulant that would not produce such extreme effects.
