All people also need dopamine to feel good. If not given enough, the person will suffer from feeling down...What many people who take drugs feel is a rise in that center of the brain...The brain then wants more to feel good..Which causes the addiction...Not everybody has the same amount of dopamine needed to feel at their most optimum selves..
Dopamine begins deep in the brain stem with several tiny clumps of cells, together no bigger than a grain of sand. These 100 million or so cells, the only producers of dopamine, form long nerve fibers called axons that reach out to billions of cells in almost every other part of the brain.
Like other neurotransmitters, dopamine allows neurons to ``talk to each other, facilitating the transmission of signals from one brain cell to another.
People with addictions are unknowingly stimulation that part of the brain, which of course the brain likes and wants more...Dopamine can change through out a persons life and as they age and can be effected by trauma...Anti depresents also help people who suffer with lower dopamine.....Addictions only help to increase what dopamine does.....unforturnatly, it comes with a price unless you can get it in a natural non addictive form, which is out there...

Pretty much all drugs work using receptors 😂 thats due to the fluid mosaic nature of the cell membrane and its selective permeability as well as how activation sequences in protein synthesis etc are derived,
The vast majority of drugs either mimic messengers, it need not behormones or are alkaloids.
Keep the faith 🙂
Stay Whirly 🤘

Some of you may think SpellJammer now should be incharge of law.
Alot of you will call SpellJammer a hypocrite. (Cause there's just pricks out there like that.)
So he doesn't have to explain himself later. (Not that he should. You should use the brains God gave you..)
Cocaine/Heroine has a compound marijunna lacks. Pot is more or less alchahol.. But cocaine/heroine can seriously damage your brain. Even so much as doing it once could give you a stroke.
And that's an understatement. These "hard drugs" are very addictive. Have you ever heard of someone beating a 3 year old to death under the impression of Mary Jane? Have you ever heard of someone sucking dick to get money to buy reefer? No.. and that's why those drugs should remain ilegal..
What I wanna know is, just because YOU don't like heroin and cocaine, doesn't mean everyone else dislikes it.
You cannot be FOR the legalisation of drugs you deem ok and not for the ones others deem ok. Alcohol damages your liver, it kills more. Tobacco damages your lungs and the lungs of those around you, it kills more. What about those?
If I chose to go damage my brain on coke, that's none of your business.

Well I guess the thing is how to define a drug.....

Legal or illegal, are YOU going to take it? No. So legal or illegal, it makes not one blind bit of difference to you. You're being a hypocrite and you know you are. Hence your little attempt at calling those who might know this, pricks.
It's a personal thing, who are you to say I can't take something because of what it might do to me? Who are you to say that? It's not your choice or decision. If you had said "I'm not going to play a part in legalising it" fine, but to say it shouldn't be legalised for those reasons is just stupid.
Oh and before you say "It's not stupid to care", get off your "I'm a healer" high horse and realise that there are people who don't know you and don't want you care, or anyone elses. They want to make their own choices and you making those for them, is wrong.
Now if you have nothing intelligent to say, which seems to be the case, then stop bothering.
Bardock: There are some drugs I'd absolutely never take and some I'd ADVISE people to not take also, but that doesn't mean I can force them or try to convince them otherwise. It's up to them and they should be given the choice.

Don't be giving tips to SpellJammer on how to be intelligent you dope head.
There is no justifying doing drugs, or allowing people to do said drugs. It's a very bad substance, and should be forbidden to society. People should be free to rise and fall on thier own merits, but you have to set limits or what you get in return is anarchy. And maybe a ****ed up lunatic like yourself wants anarchy. (Probably because your brain cells are fried from your "freedoms" to do hard substances..)
But sensible people like SpellJammer would rather have a system of goverment with a healthy amount of rules and regulations, which though aren't too severe, are strict enough to insure peace and stability amongst the community. And peace doesn't come by shooting up.

What do you mean 'allowing'? It's not your decision. You have NO say in what people do. If you never touch an illegal drug in your life, that's your choice. It's not your choice as to whether others do, it's no one's but theirs. Accept this.

Wake the hell up. You don't get anarchy from letting people take drugs. It's not like you're legalising murder, rape or anything horrid like that. Legalising ALL drugs eliminates unofficial or dodgy drug DEALERS, which are the biggest problem with drugs. You're obviously just stupid.

Where do you get this idea from? Did it not occur to you that I might be a completely clean human being who just isn't so self-righteous that he believes people should be able to take whatever substances they want? No? Shut up then.
People call me self-absorbed, you need to take a look at yourself. Stopping people, or attempting to stop people doing things because YOU don't like them.

I'll say this again for you because you're really not getting it. If one, ten or a hundred men/women choose to take illegal drugs, that is 100%, undeniably none of your business. It's not.
One more time: Drug users OR abusers, are none of your business. It's NONE of YOUR business. You can't MAKE it your business then try to stop them doing something they CHOOSE to do just because YOU don't like it. Don't like it? Don't do it. Just stop trying to end others doing it. You already said you're all for the legalisation of marijuana, there are people who want to force your freedom away from taking that just because they don't like it. Shoe is on the other foot now isn't it?
Try again kid. Maybe when you have a clue or two, or three.

When people are ****ed up from drugs and rape people in SpellJammer's community, murder children, maybe even SpellJammer's chiildren, and cause a whole lot of un-needed suffering. Then yes, it becomes SpellJammer's problem. You're such an egotistical bastard you refuse to exsept we SHARE this planet, we are as one. Every action or lack thereoff we do effects another, as much as you'd like to be a loner, that only go's so far..
The only child SpellJammer sees here is you. Not grasping the fact that the dangers of legislating drug use is far too risky to allow even with high restrictions. All you can think about is your simplistic "If I wanna' I should be able too! Wanhhwanhhwanhh! The goverment doesn't let me do anything!"
Which is why SpellJammer thanks God people like you aren't incharge of his country..

Then be anti-rape and anti-murder. Drugs don't make a man a rapist or a murderer. High chances are he was already like that.
More to the point, don't stop people making choices on account of horrid morons. People drink and drive, what you gonna do? Ban cars?

Exactly, so what kind of rationale is yours? "We share this planet so lets all live how I think we should and make choices that only some of us deem fit." If you were so pro-sharing, you'd realise that we only get ONE time on this planet, and to let people live how they wanna live with regards to drugs. You are being pathetic. If I go snort coke in a room with friends, it's not bothering anybody but us. Not you, not anyone.
Stop hiding behind that excuse everytime you're confronted with how wrong you are. You can't force someone to not take drugs just because YOU don't like them, which IS why you're doing this.

Here's a tip for you chief, read my posts. I don't agree with all drugs, I don't think all drugs can be used without negative consequence. I said before that I would advise people to steer clear of some drugs at any cost. That's ALL it would be, advice. If they say "Well I appreciate that but I choose to take heroin", I'd say "Ok cool." It's none of my business what they do as long as they do not harm anyone but themselves.
Oh oh, I know what you're thinking. "BUT they do harm people! Drug induced crimes!" Yeah I know. There's also alcohol induced crimes, love induced crimes, lust induced crimes. All of those are committed by idiots who are too busy misusing the substance or emotion and therefore ruining them for people who experience them fairly. If a man gets hammered and kills his wife, ban alcohol? If a man kills an adulterer for breaking up his marriage because he loved his wife, ban being in love incase it happens again? If someone begs a woman/man to sleep with them and they say no, and as a result...kill them, ban lust? No. Why? Because there are people out there way more in control of their emotions, feelings and lifestyles to NOT get carried away to dangerous degrees, to NOT kill, to NOT abuse. There are people who drink but don't drive. By your rationale, any substance leading to damage of self or damage of others, deserves to be banned and not used. Stupid because the former is none of your business and the latter isn't the responsibility of the responsible.
THAT is exactly why your "We're all responsible for one another, we're all connected" theory doesn't work. Because we're not all responsible for one another, believing so leads to restriction of birth-given freedom (GOD given as YOU might say) for those who ARE responsible. The more you connect everyone, the more you assume we're all responsible, the more crime will happen. Because the more freedom is lost. You are not my responsibility, I am not yours. Nobody is my responsibility, I am no one's responsibility. The same, contrary to your silly belief, applies to you.

Not strictly true.
There have been many documented examples of people using drugs and effortlessly stopping, groups of people too, like the soldiers in the poppy fields- they returned home to the US and carried on as normal.
