Summary Of The Song 'Heroin' By Miley Cyrus

There are two ways that popular songs portray drugs there are the songs that glorify them and tell the story of the “party-life” and others tell the “after-story” that tell of the addiction, of hitting rock-bottom, of how it can ruin your life. More and more of the popular songs are pro-drugs and pro-“party-life” or they are slyly double sided such as Eminem’s Drug Ballad, songs that tend to be lesser known or less popular tell the story of the addiction, about hitting rock-bottom, and of recovery such as D.L. Downer A.K.A. James Williams’ Suga Boom Boom (Chasing Dragons). Drug Ballad, was released on May 23, 2000 in the album The Marshall Mathers LP (www.sing365.com). Suga Boom Boom (Chasing Dragons) was written and sung by D. L. Downer a.k.a. James Williams and his 16-year-old niece Laleazy was produced as a single by MajorEpic music label and was released on October 26, 2014. Both of these songs are within the rap and hip-hop genres. When analyzing and comparing and contrasting these two songs we need to consider why one is more popular than the other, why and how has drugs become such a prevalent problem, why are drugs portrayed differently, and how can we help those that are addicted and keep others from becoming addicted themselves.

     The axon terminals after the neurotransmitters are released are supposed to reabsorb the extra neurotransmitters. The lack of serotonine in the neurons cause a lack of serotonine transporters, the spots on the neurons responsible for reabsorbing serotonine. Ecstasy blocks the re-uptake of serotonine by the synaptic terminal. The serotonine becomes toxic and begins to kill off brain cells (“After the Rave: the Ecstasy Hangover”, (www.faculity.washington.edu/chudler/mdma.html).

Meaning that when someone is high on molly, they would hallucinate and start to see or hear things that are not really there. When Molly is taken, it acts as a central nervous system stimulant. The MDA absorbed through the body destroys serotonin-producing neurons in your body. These neurons role in your body is to regulate aggression, mood, sexual activity, sleep, and sensitivity to pain.

Ecstasy acts by increasing the activity of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine three neurotransmitters. Serotonin triggers the release of vasopressin and oxytocin which play important roles in love, trust, and sexual arousal. This may account for the characteristics of emotional closeness and empathy produced by the drug. However the surge of serotonin depletes the brain of the chemical causing confusion, sleep problems, depression, and problems with attention and memory. Signs of withdrawal include

Yet more testing is needed to be done on the long-term effect. (DiSalvo, 2012)

You might ask yourself, “what is MDMA?” or, “is it legal?” In this paper both of those questions will be answered along with the following: the history about the drug, whether or not it can be healthy, some long-term effects of MDMA, and whether or not it can become an addiction.

Researchers found that low doses of Ecstasy (3mg/Kg) were not able to modify electric parameters in the brain. However, they found that brain activity was altered when using a higher dose of the drug (6 mg/Kg). Now, it is worth noting that these alterations were visible in both, the 6 mg/Kg non-noise group, as the group that received 6 mg/Kg of Ecstasy in the acoustic noise group. It is also important to notice that the noise used on the research was not music per se, but an acoustic noise that resembles the intensity of music in clubs. The findings of the researchers suggest that the effects of this drug could be driven by relatively common environmental factors, and its harmful effects on humans are due to its
