Because their brains need more chemicals to be normal, and these changes last a LONG time.
Because they have "addictive personalities".
Because they have killed so many brain cells with drugs that their reasoning ability is no longer good.

Rate this question:
Allows you to better fight off pathogens you once came into contact with.
Allows you to fight off most viruses better than most bacteria.
Applies only to viruses and not bacteria.

Rate this question:
Having a similar shape to naturally-occurring chemicals in the brain.
Destroying neurons.
Altering blood chemistry which in turn affects the brain and other parts of the nervous system.
Rate this question:
Because they have much less active dopamine than a normal person.
Because they have much more active dopamine than a normal person.
Because they have many extra empty receptors compared to a normal person.
Rate this question:
How an organism gets better and better at fighting pathogens by treating them all the same.
How an organism passes down its immunities to its offspring.
How an organism remembers pathogens and learns how to fight them.
Rate this question:
Increase the amount of dopamine that is active in your brain.
Decrease the amount of dopamine that is active in your brain.
Are only addictive to susceptible individuals.
Rate this question:
Takes a little time to work.
Is instantaneous once you are exposed to the antigens.
Only occurs in children whose immune systems are still developing.

Can detect pathogens (through their antigens)
Can respond to invaders (pathogens) by coughing, sneezing, inflammation, fever, etc.
Responds the same way to all pathogens
Can remember antigens it was previously exposed to
