PSY199: Psychology and History of Drug Use is a first-year foundation course that's less demanding than typical courses. The workload includes two essays, one debate, and weekly in-class discussions based on required readings from a textbook. The course wasn't my favorite since I'm not particularly interested in drug history, but many peers enjoyed it. If the subject matter interests you, it seems like a solid, manageable first-year option.
