Under normal conditions, the body generates a normal amount of dopamine and travels through receptors on brain cells that generate signals of pleasure. Drug use causes extra dopamine to be generated and traveled. Over time, the receptors will begin to disappear and this will lead to reduced signals of pleasure. A drug abuser will become more addicted to drugs because they need more drug use to achieve the same effect of pleasure.]]> 2016-06-05 01:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ppham105/dkyoevo8n91r/wish/113687945 ppham105 https://padlet.com/ppham105/dkyoevo8n91r/wish/113688068 Opiates are drugs that are created from ingredients found in poppy plants.
