Whatever you learn, don’t forget to add this.
Addiction
Body functions breaking down and stopping (depending on the substance)
Brain damage
Death
PRISON
I know a guy who was mixing drugs for a long time and now his left hand is always uncontrollably shaking. It will do this forever!
or worse, you could end up on the Maury show. (hehe)
Which of These Illicit Drugs Is the Most Brain Damaging?
Question by DJ: Which of these illicit drugs is the most brain damaging?
[rewrite]I’m doing a research project for psychology and the topic is about neurology. I came across an interesting graph on this site:

But the graph is ranked by physical addiction and physical harm but not brain damage. My question is which drugs from the following list causes the most brain damage (negatively effects cognitive ability, concentration, and ability to learn; instead of just causing physical dependence) in the long term and not just under influence or coming down from the effects

Natural Remedies for Brain Damage After Drug Abuse?
Question by Liza Shevchuk: Natural Remedies For Brain Damage After Drug Abuse?
[rewrite]My older brother has done many drugs from about 16-21. Its been a year since his last use, and he’s been having some serious problems. He has high anxiety and he’s been having frequent episodes of “weird” (as he calls it) feelings. He doesn’t label it as feeling sick. During these episodes he feels jittery, emotional (even cry’s sometimes) out of control, his heart rate goes up. This also causes him to have insomnia. Maybe they’re panic attacks, but the thing is, what triggers it? This occurs randomly on a normal day. We believe its typical withdrawal symptoms, because he abused quite a few drugs. (Marijuana, cigarettes, ecstasy, crystal meth, shrooms, hookah, cocaine, inhalants, “uppers” (as he calls them))
He has gone to see his doctor several times to get treatment, and his doctor said he has migraines.
-____-
He prescribed him anti depressants and that didn’t help my brother AT ALL.
He does this herbal drop treatment (echinacea, other oils, etc) That help him sleep.
Now we’re trying to find him herbal remedies that would help repair his brain damage from all of the abuse he has done to it.
Thank you very much.
