Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A causal inference can only be supported when very specific causal evidence exists. Three critical pieces of causal evidence are:

(1) Temporal sequence - deals with the time order of events. The cause must occur before the effect.
(2) Concomitant variation - occurs when two events covary, meaning they vary systematically. This means that when a change in the cause occurs, a change in the outcome also is observed.
(3) Nonspurious association - means that any covariation between a cause and an effect is true and not simply due to some other variable.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
