Drugs/MY BRAIN

Lecture today was pretty interesting. It was about neurons and drugs and the effect of drugs on your neurons. Legal drugs and illegal drugs, and sort of legal drugs. Apparently the reason drugs are effective is because they mimic the structure of the naturally occurring neurochemicals that exist in your brain. But these neurochemicals exist in a fine balance, and drugs throw off that balance, which causes some of the kooky effects. In terms of what the effects actually are, I stopped paying attention because my professor hasn’t done these drugs, so he probably doesn’t know. I’ll ask my Dad.
