Go to the ‘drugs’ section of my wiki located here: http://www.docfleetwood.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Drugs and follow the instructions. Use this site to create a table with the following information: drug name, method of intake, how the drug affects the neurons in the brain. For example… Cocaine, snort, inject or smoke, blocks dopamine reuptake receptors thus prolonging the effect of dopamine. (but yours will be in a nice, neat table format)
