Fred has been at a party where he drank rather a lot of beer. He is feeling drowsy as a result, so he decides that he can counteract the effect of the alcohol by drinking a bunch of coffee. After all, alcohol is a depressant, so that can be countered with a stimulant. Right? Explain why this is a bad idea, with reference to the effects of the two drugs. Which drugs do not fit easily into a single category? That is, they have effects that are from two or more of stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens. Why do you think such drugs are almost always hallucinogens (in addition to whatever else they might be classified as)? A prim-and-proper older person I know is a huge fan of black pepper, putting a fair amount on many foods. It turns out that black pepper contains an anandamide reuptake inhibitor. Why might that make black pepper appealing? The hallucinogenic drugs chosen by your textbook authors are atypical in that they influence dopamine activity in the reward learning pathway. Why is this important? Psilocybin, for example, does not affect the reward learning pathway in substantial ways. What would be different with respect to psilocybin? The brain/body changes that occur during meditation sound similar both to sleep-related changes and to drug-related changes. What are some of those similarities? How is the state of consciousness in mindfulness meditation different from falling asleep and different from taking drugs?
