- Your friend Jamie has been smoking something in order to lose weight. Jamie tells you that smoking has not only gotten her to stop snacking, but also allows her to concentrate harder when studying, especially for the next Psych exam. At the same time, this drug relaxes her and gives her a sense of calm. She thinks you should try it out, as it might help with your studying and could even help you take off a couple of pounds. However, you notice Jamie has an odor about her constantly, and her teeth and nails seem to be yellowing. What has Jamie been smoking? 1. Determine what drug the individual in your case has been using and what led you to believe this.2. Determine what the subjective effects of the drug are (i.e., what has a person reported feeling after using the drug).3. Determine what receptors, transporters, or neurotransmitters could be involved and how the drug affects these receptors, transporters, or neurotransmitters.arrow_forwardWhy is taking too much Valium not as dangerous as taking too much Phenobarbital?arrow_forwardExplain why the drug cortisone (kor′ti sōn), a steroid closely related to cortisol, is prescribed to treat joint injuries, allergies, orasthma.arrow_forward
