Psychoactive Drugs and Freud's Addictions

Stimulants, such as caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine, increase neural and behavioral activity
Cocaine is derived from coca shrub leaves in South America, taken orally as coca paste or processed into cocaine hydrochloride for snorting or injecting

Cocaine and derivatives interfere with dopamine transporters, leading to pleasurable effects
Long-term use of methamphetamine and MDMA leads to cognitive impairments and higher risk of Parkinson's
Offspring of male rats exposed to heavy cocaine use displayed increased self-administration and anxiety
Opioids, like heroin and morphine, bind to receptors and cause mild effects, addiction, and indirect risks like crime and HIV
Opioid withdrawal symptoms include watery eyes, chills, and nausea
Freud's initial promotion of cocaine led to addiction, followed by a battle with tobacco addiction and tragic health consequences
