Assignment

In this Assignment, you are going to compare depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens, and identify a specific theoretical explanation for why an individual would choose to use one or more of these drugs.

You are to identify one drug from each category (see examples in the attachment). In a minimum 4-page paper, you are to analyze and evaluate the differences between the drugs, including composition, manufacture/cultivation, how they are used, and their physical and psychological effects on the human body. You will then identify one specific theory, such as anomie, differential association, social control, cultural deviance, labeling, behaviorism, behavior modification, or cognitive learning that you believe best explains why an individual would choose to use one or more of your chosen drugs.
