Briefly explain how morphine and alcohol are similar in how they work to produce their psychoactive affects on our bodies.?
How do other drugs like marijuana or cocaine differ from morphine and alcohol in how they produce their effects?
Marijuana primarily interacts with the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and affects mood, perception, and cognition. Cocaine increases dopamine levels by blocking the reuptake of the neurotransmitter, resulting in an intense but short-lived high. These substances have different mechanisms of action compared to morphine and alcohol, despite also producing psychoactive effects.
