Question 1

Compared with ordinary cocaine,crack produces a ________ intense high followed by a ________ intense crash.

Accepted Answer

Crack cocaine produces a more intense high and a more intense crash compared to powder cocaine, due to its method of use and rapid absorption into the bloodstream.

Question 2

A brief 15- to 30-minute rush of euphoria followed by a crash of agitated depression is most closely associated with the use of

Accepted Answer

The rush of euphoria followed by a crash of agitated depression is a key characteristic of the use of cocaine. Cocaine is a stimulant drug that can cause an intense high followed by a quick comedown. This cycle of euphoria and depression can lead to a cycle of addiction and dependence.

Question 3

When Vincente first tried to quit smoking,he experienced anxiety,irritability,and difficulty sleeping.Vincente was experiencing

Accepted Answer

The symptoms that Vincente experienced after quitting smoking, such as anxiety, irritability, and difficulty sleeping, are all characteristic of withdrawal. Withdrawal occurs when a person stops using a substance that their body has become dependent on, such as nicotine in the case of smoking. The symptoms of withdrawal can be physical and psychological.

Question 4

The altered state of consciousness that is most similar to an LSD-induced hallucination is

Accepted Answer

The answer of The altered state of consciousness that is...

Question 5

Epilepsy seizures may trigger sensations strikingly similar to

Accepted Answer

Epilepsy seizures have been known to trigger sensations similar to those reported during near-death experiences, such as out-of-body experiences, feelings of detachment, and vivid hallucinations. These sensations may be a result of the brain's response to abnormal electrical activity during seizures.

Question 6

Which of the following drugs is classified as a stimulant?

Accepted Answer

Nicotine is a stimulant that increases heart rate, blood pressure, and overall alertness. Marijuana is classified as a depressant or hallucinogen. Morphine is a narcotic painkiller classified as a depressant. Alcohol is a depressant that can also have stimulating effects in low doses but ultimately slows down the central nervous system.

Question 7

Nicotine consumption triggers an increase in

Accepted Answer

Nicotine is a stimulant that increases heart rate and blood pressure. This is due to its vasoconstrictive properties, which result in narrowing of blood vessels, leading to an increase in blood pressure. Nicotine does not cause drowsiness, increase appetite or anxiety, but rather has the opposite effect by increasing alertness and suppressing appetite.

Question 8

The major effect of ________ is to release stored serotonin and block its reuptake.

Accepted Answer

Ecstasy (MDMA) is a stimulant drug that stimulates the release of stored serotonin (a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation and feelings of happiness) in the brain and also blocks its reuptake. This leads to increased serotonin levels in the brain and can result in feelings of euphoria, increased empathy, and reduced anxiety. Alcohol (A) primarily affects the neurotransmitter GABA, while heroin (B) primarily affects the neurotransmitter dopamine. Nembutal (D) is a sedative that acts on the GABA neurotransmitter system.

Question 9

Following use of a psychoactive drug,Jasmine quickly experienced a rush of euphoria followed within the same hour by a crash of agitated depression as the drug's effect wore off.Jasmine's reactions most clearly suggest that she was using

Accepted Answer

Jasmine's reaction suggests the use of cocaine, as it is known to produce a short-lived rush of euphoria followed by a crash of agitated depression. Marijuana and LSD do not typically produce this type of crash, while barbiturates are depressants and would not produce a rush of euphoria.

Question 10

Which of the following drugs is most likely to produce a euphoric high and feelings of social intimacy?

Accepted Answer

Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, is a drug that primarily affects serotonin levels in the brain. This can lead to feelings of euphoria and empathy, making it popular for use at parties and social gatherings. Secona, opium, and marijuana may produce altered states of consciousness but are not typically associated with social intimacy and euphoria in the same way as ecstasy.

Question 11

Nicotine calms anxiety and diminishes sensitivity to pain by triggering the release of opioids and

Accepted Answer

Nicotine triggers the release of dopamine, which produces feelings of pleasure and reward. This can help to reduce anxiety and pain sensitivity.

Question 12

Nicotine triggers a(n)________ in blood pressure and a(n)________ in pain sensitivity.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Nicotine triggers a(n)________ in blood pressure and...

Question 14

Methamphetamine enhances energy and mood by triggering the release of the neurotransmitter

Accepted Answer

Methamphetamine triggers the release of dopamine, which enhances energy and mood. Epinephrine is a similar neurotransmitter that also increases energy, but it is not directly related to methamphetamine. Codeine is an opioid pain medication and THC is the main psychoactive compound found in marijuana, neither of which are related to methamphetamine.

Question 15

LSD is most likely to produce

Accepted Answer

LSD is a hallucinogenic drug that alters perception, mood, and thought. It can produce vivid visual and auditory hallucinations.

Question 16

An altered state of consciousness in which people experience fantastic images and often feel separated from their body is most closely associated with the use of

Accepted Answer

An altered state of consciousness in which people experience fantastic images and often feel separated from their body is most closely associated with the use of LSD, also known as acid. LSD is a powerful hallucinogenic drug that can produce intense changes in perception, thought, and feeling. It is known for inducing vivid and often surreal visual and auditory hallucinations, as well as a sense of detachment from reality and one's own body.

Question 17

"K2," also known as Spice,mimics

Accepted Answer

K2, also known as Spice, is a synthetic cannabinoid that mimics the effects of THC, the main psychoactive component of marijuana. It does not mimic the effects of MDMA, LSD, or heroin.

Question 18

The major active ingredient in marijuana is

Accepted Answer

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary active ingredient in marijuana, responsible for the plant's psychoactive effects. MDMA, LSD, and methadone are all different substances with different effects and mechanisms of action.

Question 19

Loss of oxygen or extreme sensory deprivation produces perceptual distortions most similar to those produced by consuming

Accepted Answer

Loss of oxygen or extreme sensory deprivation can cause hallucinations and distorted perceptions, similar to those experienced from consuming LSD. Morphine and barbiturates are depressants that can cause sedation and relaxation, while methamphetamine is a stimulant that can cause increased energy and euphoria. None of these substances produce the same type of perceptual distortions as oxygen deprivation or sensory deprivation.

Question 20

Caged rats respond to foot shocks with unusually high levels of aggression after ingesting

Accepted Answer

Cocaine is a stimulant drug that can cause hyperactivity and aggression in animals and humans. Ingesting cocaine can therefore increase levels of aggression in caged rats in response to foot shocks. Heroin and barbiturates are depressant drugs that can cause sedation and lethargy, while marijuana is a psychoactive drug that can cause altered perception and mild euphoria. None of these drugs are likely to increase aggression in rats.
