- 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
