Listpeople,
I always seem to get the students who are curious about hallucinogens. In a
class I teach on Drug Abuse and Drug Exposed Children, a student has asked
for an explanation of how hallucinogens act on the brain at the cellular
level, and how that is different from how addictive drugs act on brain cells.
In other words, is there something about the effects of hallucinogens on the
firing of neurons that contributes to these drugs being "non-addictive".
An explanation I can use would be most appreciated.
Happy trails! ; - )
