Default Do drugs raise consciousness or make you go unconscious

Hey everybody, I am curious as to what effect drugs have on one's consciousness. I have never used drugs, and have never even drank alcohol, but I am curious as to what effect they have on one's consciousness. I have read differen't things, both of which make sense.

I have read that they artifically raise your consciousness, maybe a 100 or even 200 points on the Hawkins scale. This argument makes sense, as people often describe it as getting 'high.'

I have also read that they make you go unconscious, or they shut off the conscious mind partially or completely (depending on how much you use). This also makes sense, as people often don't remember what happened, and tend to act on impulses that they normally might not if they were conscious.

So what's the deal? What do you guys think?
