then they get absorbed in the lungs in go in the bloodstream with the oxygen

and then they go up to the brain...

but then once up to the brain how do they work

does the brain have to soak them up or something

Mucus Membrane. They get absorbed on the blood rich mucus membrane.

In order to get to the brain they have to ahve the right chemical properties to cross the blood brain barrier

I need to know, they don't even have this information on the Internet.

I assume the chemicals then inhibit, or stimulate senders/receptors in the brain, causing the brain to misfire, throwing you into an alter state of consciousness.

Absorbed through the mucos membrane, which then allows them to enter the mucus membrane.

Oh right... so the chemicals in the powdered drugs would combine with the chemicals in the cns and they would fizz and the cns would think it's supposed to fire extra shots of feel good neurotransmitters

Thats how I understand it.

so do they not really go in your brain

Yes they do.....how was that hard to understand at all?

No, not really.
It depends from drug to drug, but usually either the drug inhibits the breakdown of neurotransmitter causing large amounts to remain inside the synaptic cleft (such as with MDMA I believe), or the drug can prevent the neurotransmitter from forming causing less action potentials to be transferred and hence less propagation of the impulse. Or it can be something else too. There're lots of ways drugs can have effects on the brain.
