During your psychology class, a fellow student argues that agonists are not dangerous since they increase the amount of neurotransmitters available for neurons to use. What is wrong with her argument?
a. Agonists typically increase the availability of neurotransmitters that are transmitted only rarely and are dangerous otherwise.
b. Agonists only increase the availability of neurotransmitters after a delayed period, increasing the likelihood of overdose.
c. Agonists can block the binding of helpful neurotransmitters, causing negative side effects.
d. Agonists can potentially lead one to become addicted to dangerous substances if they are abused.
