When bound to these receptors, it can increase the production of dopamine, the cause of the "rewarding" feeling. The sharp increase creates a sense of euphoria and relaxation. Like many other drugs, this is the desired effect on the user and can cause an addiction.]]> 2018-03-11 01:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mayasheth/ug41pti0hl9h/wish/240509779 mayasheth https://padlet.com/mayasheth/ug41pti0hl9h/wish/240510717
