Commonly Abused Drugs by Hillary Nguyen [Student FVHS] https://padlet.com/hvnguyen125/at5phrmqcg02 Made with a creative frenzy en-us 2018-06-10 05:34:56 UTC 2023-02-20 10:41:43 UTC hello@padlet.com Drugs are chemicals that affect the brain by tapping into its communication system and interfering with the way neurons normally send, receive, and process information. This interfering gives people that feeling of pleasure. When people do drugs often, they constantly feel that pleasure. Without it, they don't function properly and have withdrawal symptoms. The wanting of this feeling is what leads to addiction. hvnguyen125 https://padlet.com/hvnguyen125/at5phrmqcg02/wish/266449498 2018-06-10 06:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hvnguyen125/at5phrmqcg02/wish/266449498 hvnguyen125 https://padlet.com/hvnguyen125/at5phrmqcg02/wish/266449520 2018-06-10 06:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hvnguyen125/at5phrmqcg02/wish/266449520 Street names: hvnguyen125 https://padlet.com/hvnguyen125/at5phrmqcg02/wish/266449866 *Weed
