What everyone should know about teenagers and drugs People,
particularly the young, take drugs because they enjoy the effects
they have on their moods. But for every high there is a low. For
every trip, a return journey.All children entering adolescence need
to know that there is no short cut to happiness through chemistry.
There is only a short circuiting of the brain wiring that makes
them, them.Today we know so much more about how the brain works
and, importantly, how it matures. Through MRI scanning scientists
have discovered that the brain is not fully matured until a person
reaches about 25 years of age. The effect of drugs, including
alcohol and nicotine, on the maturing brain can be devastating and
is always harmful.The most effective way to deal with drug problems
is within the family. With so many drugs on the market it is vital
for everyone to keep informed and up-to-date. The authors openly
explain the seemingly difficult scientific concepts behind drugs;
not just their history and sources but also how they affect the
brain and the acute and chronic side effects they have on the body.
They write without over-simplifying the subject or exaggerating it.
The result is a book that is accessible, clear and straightforward,
as well as sobering - the facts and figures speak for
themselves.Every human brain is a miraculous tapestry, utterly
unique to the weaver. When we tear this fragile tapestry we are
damaging a one-off that can't easily be repaired.
