The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What do people mean when they say that a drug changes the structure of one’s brain?
That's really interesting. Do these changes in brain structure and function happen immediately after taking the drug, or do they happen over time with repeated use?
That's also a great question. The answer depends on the drug and the person taking it. Some drugs, like prescription opioids, can cause changes in the brain's structure and function after just one use. Other drugs, like marijuana, may require repeated use over time to produce significant changes in the brain. Additionally, some people may be more susceptible to drug-induced changes in the brain than others, depending on factors like genetics and environmental influences.
