Question
Consider the intersections of what you are learning about biological psychology with how different substances are regulated in the U.S, looking critically from a public health perspective. Discuss how different drugs are viewed and regulated differently (compare and contrast alcohol, tobacco, prescription opiates, heroin, and marijuana). What do we know about how these drugs function? What do we know about the possibility of addition or dependence for each, or the consequences of use and abuse? From a public health perspective, discuss one problem that you see and one thing that is currently helpful to public health that should continue or be increased. In your informed opinion as a student of biopsychology, should the regulation system for these drugs stay the same or change? What is one change that you think could help? Argue your responses using evidence, and show your reasoning. You are welcome to bring in other perspectives/experience/evidence, but your response should show familiarity with the biopsychological perspective 2 Remember: post by Tuesday, reply a minimum of one time with a substantial comment by Thursday.
