Your Brain On Drugs
This is an amphetamine. Extended use of this drug can cause difficulties in telling
the difference between reality and fantasy, and problems concentrating. It's hard to
write a test if you can't concentrate on it. Studies have found that this drug destroys
fibers in the brain tissue. These fibers may grow back, but they don't grow back
normally. Like most drugs, this one affects your memory and can cause paranoia,
anxiety, and confusion.
