Alcoholism

            With frequent use of heavy dosage of psychoactive chemicals your brain chemistry is being changed. A person can not be a fully functional human being if they are using psychoactive chemicals. They can appear to be, for example, a functioning alcoholic, but they are just fooling you, it's impossible. The neurotransmitters are being depleted in your brain. The alcohol, oxyconten, and other drugs cause the depletion of GAB transmitters and the seratonine in a person's brain. The abuse of stimulants such as coke, ecstasy and meth deplete the dopamine. The abuse of hallucinogens, such as pot, depletes amandamind. At some point you will make your body build up its tolerance, become tissue dependent and go through withdrawal.
             You may ask yourself, why do people even bother to use psychoactive chemicals? You may wonder how someone could want to do anything that harmful and ludicrous to his or her own bodies. The main reason that someone could do something like that to himself or herself is out of pure curiosity. You may see other people using the drugs or drinking alcohol and seeing what a great time they"re having, you may wonder what it is like to feel like that too. Peer pressure also plays a big role in how come people use psychoactive chemicals. It is hard to say no to something when everyone around you is doing it. You may want to feel cool, as if you belong and be part of a group. Other reasons people may use psychoactive chemicals is to just get high, self medicate, low self esteem, for energy, to relieve stress, boredom, for altered consciousness, and to just be able to handle loneliness.
             Different sets of psychoactive chemicals alter different sets of neurotransmitters thereby producing different feelings and emotions. Sedative alcohol initiates GABA, which will make you uninhibited. This will make you less reserved, more out going and unrestrained. A stimulant such as cocaine produces dopamine, which will give your body energy.
