Drug Addiction Jack, Zhiming

What is drug addiction? Drug addiction is a relapsing brain disease in which you feel the need to take the drug constantly over and over again. This changes the function of your brain and your structure of the brain.

What happens to your brain after taking drugs? The chemicals in the drug will go into your brain communication system and disrupt the nerves system ability to process, receive and send information. There are 2 ways that this process will take place. 1. The chemicals will over stimulate the reward circuit of your brain. The reward circuit in your brain is what makes you feel pleasurable. If you over stimulate that, then the drug will make you feel very happy and then things will happen to you when you don’t realize it. 2. The chemicals could also imitate the brains natural chemical messengers. When that happens the human brain has no control over the system and then the chemicals can change the emotions and other things in the brain.

Coccaine: What is it? Coccaine comes from coca leaves in which is well known as an old drug. Cocaine affects the brain both mentally and physically. During the 1980s and 90s, it was the years in which Cocaine were the most addictive to people that do drugs. The two simple chemical forms of Coccaine are Hydrochloride salt and Freebase. Coccaine are sold in streets in which the street dealers add sugar and cornstarch or other substances to make it more attractive and more appealing to the customers who buy it.

This is one atom of cocaine

Ways In which Drug Addiction Can be Stopped The way best suited to stop the addiction with drugs is to not take it at all. Parents can also help their child with the problem of drug addiction by listening them out and talking about the problems. Their parent’s support helps them move away from the drugs at all costs. Stay away from your old crowd who take the drugs with you. Stay away from the place in which you obtain the drug from. Following all this, after 3months, it will be a success.
