CHMU 234 Fundamentals of Drug Action

Although we live in a drug-oriented society—like it or not, we are all drug users—there is a general ignorance of what drugs are, what they do, and how they do it. The main objective of this course is to supply this basic information in order to empower students to make better decisions regarding drug usage. Discussion will center on drugs with high sociological impact, but the emphasis will be scientific in nature. 3 credits.
