question 3 (multiple choice worth 5 points)
(03.02 lc)
taking illegal stimulants can cause
immediate sedation
low serotonin levels
rotting of the gums
slowed breathing

Explanation:

Stimulants increase activity in the central nervous system. They do not cause immediate sedation (which is more related to depressants). Stimulants can disrupt serotonin regulation, often leading to low serotonin levels over time. Rotting of the gums is more associated with drug - using behaviors like snorting (e.g., cocaine use can damage nasal passages and gums). Slowed breathing is a common effect of depressants, not stimulants.

Answer:

low serotonin levels
