Think they were called Galahad
One was an ex user, then dealer, then informer. Rather than the usual bollocks secondary schools get, they told us how the drugs work-as in, what they do to which dells in the brain, and what damage they cause. It's all to do with synapses, and various chemicals that occur in the brain. For example, the brain releases dopamine after excercise/shock/sex etc, which calms you down. If you go for a massive run, you might feel completely immobile after. It is the dopamine receptors that the THC in cannabis acts on, to give similar feelings. Problem is, it damages them, so the dopamine doesn't work. If you damage enough of them, the body is unable to calm itself down-hence paranoia etc. similar things happen with Coke/adrenaline, ecstacy/seratonin and others I can't remember. So yeah, they do fuck your brain (and other bits) considerably.
