Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Statement I is incorrect because opioids are not obtained from Cannabis sativa, which is mainly the source of cannabinoids. 
- Statement II is correct because heroin is synthesized by acetylating morphine. 
- Statement III is incorrect because barbiturates typically induce sleep, not sleeplessness. 
- Statement IV is correct as benzodiazepines are indeed tranquilizers.
