assistance needed with psychology

Journal

Read Module 4.4 in the textbook (page 158-172). Choose one drug from each category (depressant,

stimulant, hallucinogen). Explain what the drug is, its legal status, how it is taken, and what effects it has

(long and short term). Discuss how addiction to each of these drugs can impact people, what withdrawal

symptoms look like, and how to combat addiction to this drug. Research into what, if any, addiction

support programs are offered for those who use each drug. Research how addictive each substance is

and what impacts it can have on people. Look into real-world experiences and stories people have with

each drug.

Write about your personal thoughts regarding the drugs (and their impacts) you chose from each

category. Is it legal? Should it be? Are there other uses for it, outside of recreational? Support your

thoughts and opinions with research and peer-reviewed studies.

Write 3-4 paragraphs for each drug explaining the outcomes of your research. Use at least 3-5 sources

and cite these at the end of your journal post. This is an extension of your discussion post, so feel free to

use the same drug in both posts, if you include the additional two drugs in this post and meet the

expectations for both assignments (see discussion board instructions for specifics).
