Blood Brain Barrier

I noticed today, and I don't always notice, that there was a group of students quickly getting a last smoke before going into lecture. I live in a glass house so....
And then in neuro we took a look at the curve that plotted solubility against uptake of common substances, basically telling us what gets across the blood brain barrier quickest and and easiest. The substances are in descending order:
1. Valium
2. Ethanol
3. Nicotine
4. Heroin


Physicians... heal thy..

Oh nevermind.
