Considering what you have learned about the effects of drugs (legal or not) on the brain, have you changed your ideas about drug use? What is your current attitude about the use of drugs? If you were to tell your younger brother, sister, cousin, neighbor or anyone else about whom you care about using drugs, what would you say? Do you think that explaining any potentially negative effects of drug usage to someone else would change your own behavior?

Expert Solution

Our brain is wired in a certain manner, which it makes it conducive for us to live our lives in the manner most innate to our being.

But, imagine if their is a foreign agent, such as drugs, introduced to the brains wiring. It changes the calibration and makes it functions in a manner which is inherently different.

Drugs effects are not only confined to the brains limbic, cortex and brain stem, but it's effects are visibly noticeable in the physical material forms as well.

The effects of drugs and the after effects of drugs need to be made open and people need to be made cognizant about its lure, in order to evade its control.

I, personally, think that a person under the drug influence can be relatively tougher to pull out of their substance abuse, especially if it converts into substance dependence. But, people who haven't already started onto that path, can very likely be convinced by the mere narration of its negative point. Whereas people already trapped in its lure, it will take more than just talk.
