“Although many teenagers experiment with drugs, most don't become regular users but may try the drug later again as adults. A teenager's early experimentation might be minor, but it can still have a damaging effect on their developing brain.”
“As well as activating the brain's reward system, which is involved in addiction, amphetamine also affects brain regions that control heartbeat, blood pressure and temperature.”
“By affecting basic brain functions, amphetamine may expose experimenting teenagers to an increased risk of heart attack if they re-use the drug later in life.”
