However, drugs increase the production of dopamine, explaining why people feel more excited and happy under the effect of drugs. Since this feeling is considered enjoyable, it’s more likely that people would repeat this procedure and continue to take the drug, creating addition and leading to tolerance and therefore dependency. That said, the brain with frequent drug use would produce less dopamine so naturally people would want to indulge in more drugs.]]> 2019-01-19 20:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mtrieu100/iwv1t8hhigm9/wish/322428488 Opiate Desciption mtrieu100 https://padlet.com/mtrieu100/iwv1t8hhigm9/wish/322458451 Opiates are drugs produced with the seed pods of poppy plants; despite that, some types can be created in laboratories. As depressant, this is made to reduce pain by dulling the senses and may possibly lead to sleep - that is, in small doses like prescribed medicine. If taken too much, this can result in a high, which can be life-threatening. Basically, opiates will slow down brain and body reactions, decreasing heart and breathing rates as well as lower blood pressure.]]> 2019-01-20 07:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mtrieu100/iwv1t8hhigm9/wish/322458451 Opiate Street Names mtrieu100 https://padlet.com/mtrieu100/iwv1t8hhigm9/wish/322458483

From a hemp plant, marijuana has plenty of negative health effects and to some extents, is very fatal because it changes how the brain acts. Prevalently, it’s one of the most abused drugs, especially among the young like teenagers. Often a gateway drug, marijuana is usually the first step in taking other abused drugs (commonly it’s smoked in a pipe).]]> 2019-01-20 07:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mtrieu100/iwv1t8hhigm9/wish/322459372 Marijuana Street Names mtrieu100 https://padlet.com/mtrieu100/iwv1t8hhigm9/wish/322459387
