Alkohol, Tabak & Cannabis zerstören Ihr Gehirn! Hier ist warum | Prof. Tobias Rüther

Alcohol, tobacco & cannabis – the underestimated drugs of our society They're everywhere, socially accepted—and yet they're among the most dangerous addictive substances of all. Why are alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis so addictive? What happens in the brain during consumption? And how can modern addiction medicine help? In the ERCM Medicine Podcast, Prof. Dr. Tobias Rüther, specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy, addiction researcher, and head of the specialized outpatient clinic for tobacco addiction at the LMU Munich Hospital, discusses the mechanisms of addiction and the latest research findings. He explains how drugs trick the body's reward system – and why dopamine plays a central role in this. Why the line between pleasure and addiction is often crossed unnoticed. And why cannabis is particularly risky during the brain maturation phase. We also talk about how alcohol, tobacco and cannabis change the brain in the long term, why nicotine is considered the hardest addiction, why young people are particularly at risk, what cannabis legalization really means from an addiction medicine perspective, what opportunities modern withdrawal and therapy concepts offer, why modern therapies rely on motivation rather than deterrence – and when healing is possible.
