Drug#1: Marijuana

Marijuana is a drug used for medicine or personal uses that is made from part of a plant called Cannabis. Short-term side effects may include a decrease in short-term memory, dry mouth, impaired motor skills, red eyes, and feelings of paranoia or anxiety. Long-term side effects may include addiction, decreased mental ability in those who started as teenagers, and behavioral problems in children whose mothers used cannabis during pregnancy. There is a strong relation between cannabis use and the risk of psychosis.

Drug #2: Crack Cocaine

Crack cocaine, also known simply as crack or rock, is a free base form of cocaine that can be smoked. Crack offers a short but intense high to smokers. The Manual of Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment calls it the most addictive form of cocaine. Crack cocaine is commonly used as a recreational drug. Effects of crack cocaine include euphoria, supreme confidence, loss of appetite, insomnia, alertness, increased energy, a craving for more cocaine, and potential paranoia (ending after use). Crack is such a strong stimulant that it creates severe stresses on the heart, the vascular system, the lungs and the brain. Blood vessels constrict from the stimulation of the drug and over time, can harden. Then when further stimulation occurs, these damaged blood vessels can rupture, leading to a stroke. Damage to the heart can lead to a fatal heart attack or cardiac arrest.

Explain why plants along the road often die after the road is sprayed with a salt solution to melt ice
vovangra [49]

Explanation:

The salt solution is meant to lower the ice melting point hence keep most of the water from turning into ice even at zero degrees temperatures. The salts are dissolved in the water to form a salty solution that percolates the ground and reach plant roots. Because the salty water is hypertonic (more concentrated) to the cell cytoplasm of the plant roots, water is drawn from the plant by osmosis. This is the reversal of normal plant root absorption of water from the soil. This causes the plant root to wither and subsequently the whole plant to die. Remember in osmosis, water moves from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.

The majority of the U.S. population will take a pain reliever that doubles as a fever reducer at the first hint of illness.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

This is not the best practice because the fever is a mechanism of the body against infection since it will raise the body temperature bacteria, which live well below 37 ° C, die, however it is noteworthy that by itself the fiber can not cure an infection but defenses are needed and must be treated with antibiotics.

In addition, in a small percentage of cases the fever becomes urgent. This is true. It is only true if it exceeds 42 ° C in a sustained manner.
