Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
Marijuana, used with the frequency described, increases sensitivity to visual stimuli and relaxation. It also increases the appetite and enjoyment of food.
When used with the frequency described, marijuana increases, not decreases, the enjoyment of food.
When used with the frequency described, marijuana does not increase interpersonal interactions, nor does it enhance the ability to perceive the emotions of others, and it may even cause indifference.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E, F
The physiologic effects of nicotine include increased blood pressure and other cardiovascular effects, vomiting, increased alertness, and suppression of appetite.
Decreased gastric acid and suppression of nausea are not physiologic responses associated with nicotine use.
