Description: This course will help students understand: What neurochemical responses do drugs elicit in the brain, and how do these pathways lead to their respective physiological effects? In addition, students will develop a basic understanding of the history, legality, classifications, and harmful effects of three drug classes - stimulants, depressants, and psychedelics - and the common substances within each.
