crack?
It's all of the drugs simultaneously. It's whatever the writers want it to be at the moment: stimulant, sedative, hallucinogen, whatever.
PCP is just a dissociative like ketamine. Was used as a tranquilizer and anesthetic in medicine before ketamine came around.
Coca\cocaine, opium, and table sugar had a Captain Planet moment. The khajiits use it in their cooking, idk if they get high off their desserts or not. Moon sugar cookie high.
Skooma makes me think of a mixture of harder drugs and maybe some bath salts or something sprinkled in.
honestly idk. in different games it seems to have different effects but its been a while so i cant remember.

headcanon: moon sugar can be distilled into both stimulants and depressants and "skooma" is a different drug depending on what region of Tamriel you're in and what preparation method was used to refine it.
It's only called skooma if it's from the Skooma region of Elsweyr, otherwise it's just sparkling opiates
That's the only way I can square the fact that you always find Skooma in bottles and drink it, but books refer to people smoking it
