Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers will vary. Savannah should ask herself why she might consider accepting the drugs. Does she believe that, by accepting her friend's offer, she'll impress or fit in better with her peers? If so, what does that say about her and about her peers? She should also ask herself how she expects taking the drugs will cause her to feel, and what effect the drugs might have on her behavior. She also needs to think about the wider consequences of using the drugs, especially if she begins to rely on them for successful studying or even becomes addicted to them, or if she is caught using them. Could she be expelled, risk her current or a future job, or shift the relationship she might have with family members and other friends?

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers will vary. It can help control side effects from chemotherapy, it improves appetite, and forestalls the loss of lean muscle mass associated with AIDS-wasting syndrome. It can reduce muscle pain caused by diseases such as multiple sclerosis. It can relieve eye pressure in glaucoma patients. But it can also have negative medical effects, such as lung disorders, and opponents assert that there are many FDA-approved medications that are just as effective in treating the same health problems.
