Gaucher disease is a genetic disorder in which glucocerebroside (a sphingolipid, also known as glucosylceramide) accumulates in cells and certain organs. Sphingolipids constitute a diverse array of lipids in which fatty acids are linked through amide bonds to a long-chain base, structurally they form the building blocks of eukaryotic membranes. Gaucher disease occurs when a enzyme is deficient. When the enzyme is defective, glucocerebroside accumulates, particularly in white blood cells and…

worry of the city officials by saying, “There is a widespread concern, at least for San Francisco, about the danger of so many people using so much LSD.” This shows people the problem that drugs are being used so recreationally and dangerously that they must express their concern. Logically this draws the attention of people who know drugs, like LSD, are bad, and creates the concern for what is going on. This being said not all were worried about this issue as they were the ones using the…

Drugs are chemicals that affect the brain by tapping into its communication system and interfering with the way neurons normally send, receive, and process information. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter. Drugs that enter the blood stream have faster and definitely more intense effects. The more directly the drug enters the bloodstream determines how fast and intense the drug will take effect.…

Anton Köllisch developed 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine as a by-product of research for a drug to combat abnormal bleeding. It was largely ignored for 70 years until it became popular in the dance clubs of the early 80s. It was only when the Rave culture of the late 80s adopted Ecstasy as its drug of choice that MDMA became one of the top four illegal drugs in use killing an estimated 50 people a year in the UK alone. Its inventor died in World War I. Medical reviews have noted that MDMA has…

characteristics they naturally carried out on into his adult life. As he grew older his manipulative strengths and leadership skills grew too. He ruled with fear, drugs (LSD) and sex. I find that this factor is linked to Freud’s Psychosexual Theory. Manson fixated in the first stage of this theory, the oral stage; he gave his followers LSD to manipulate/control them to make commit sexual acts, murders, ect.

Hippies were typically teenagers from white, middle class families who rejected the norms of society.

Known for being anti-violence, Hippies vocally opposed the Vietnam War (which started in 1955 and ended in 1975), instead they believed in flower power which is…
