Choose a drug, and justify how it is a drug based on the definition given in the lesson 1a lecture. Briefly describe the different physiological, behavioral or mental effects the drug has. Finally, describe both positive and negative consequences that the drug can have for health and well-being.
Please choose a different example than the syntocinon example given in the lecture. Also, please give citations to course readings or to other scholarly work to support your statements (websites are not acceptable). The textbook is an excellent source of material for the assignment. Note: Each section of the assignment requires a citation (one for each: justification, effects, and consequences), so make sure your assignment has 3 references.
Please use APA style for citations and references. You can find guidelines on how to use APA citation and reference formats at the following website. (Links to an external site.)
If you choose to use evidence from a book, please include page numbers in the in-text citation.
Please see syllabus for the specific details of assignment length and submission. The written portion of the assignment is limited to a page, but you can add the citations on a second page.
