long time ago, there once was an anti-drug public service announcement campaign that showed fried eggs in a pan with the voiceover, "This is your brain on drugs." Let's find out why that ad campaign is true. 1) Pick a non-legal drug. 2) Research what it does to the brain in detail. 3) Are addicts of this drug's brains different from brains of non-addicts? 4) Why or why not? 5) What treatments are used for addicts of this drug? 6) What helps people recover from this drug's addiction besides medicines?
