4:10 Analysis of elements

Pre-Test:

Main Idea
Drugs come in many classifications each with their own general effects on the central nervous system. There is also different levels of drug use and many factors that can lead to problematic drug use.

Supporting Detail
•    Drugs are classified as Stimulants, Depressants, Psychedelics, Inhalants, Sports Drugs, and Psychiatric Medications.
•    Levels of drug use range between abstinence, experimentation, social/recreational use, habituation, abuse and addiction.
•    Factors contributing to problematic drug use include, but are not limited to the amount, frequency, and duration of drug use, as well as heredity and/or environment.
Conclusion
Drug use is not inherently bad. Instead, it is a combination of factors that give rise to social and personal concerns involving drug use. Due to the range and combinations of factors that lead to problematic drug use, the life altering effects of an experimental “hard” drug, can actually be less severe than an addiction to a “legal” drug.

The combination of contributing elements that cause use and abuse to differ as well as how chemical alterations in consciousness affect a person both psychologically and physically are important topics In psychology

Relationship between main idea and example
The main idea suggests that an increase in any number of the contributing factors of problematic drug use can ultimately lead to longer lasting effects and dependency. These factors include:

•    Environment
