Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marijuana binds to cannabinoid receptors, which are found most abundantly in the brain but also in other tissues and organs, and are responsible for the psychoactive effects of marijuana. B is incorrect because viagra acts as a vasodilator and works by inhibiting the enzyme PDE5, not by binding to CO receptors. C is incorrect because L-dopa is a precursor to dopamine and is primarily used to treat parkinson's disease, but it does not directly bind to AMPA receptors. D is incorrect because amphetamines primarily work by increasing the release of norepinephrine and dopamine, but do not directly bind to norepinephrine receptors.
