Why are drug addicts so stupid?
<|assistant|>
Drug addicts are often driven to behave in foolish and irrational ways due to the effects of the drugs on their brain chemistry. Drug use over time causes alterations in the structure and function of the brain, leading to impairments in cognitive abilities such as decision making, learning, problem-solving, memory and communication skills. The effects of these impairments lead to behaviors that are potentially dangerous and could lead to an increased likelihood of drug addiction.
