Cocaine stimulates the synapses of specific neurons that release dopamine and other monoamines by?
blocking the dopamine or monoamine reuptake into the presynaptic axon ending

Marijuana stimulates the reward system in your brain, which releases the "feel good" chemical, dopamine. Having been rewarded repeated by the marijuana your body comes to expect it, making it depressing not to have dopamine in your system regularly. Exercise is a good way to get dopamine naturally.

How do cocaine and alcohol affect the brain?
Cocaine blocks the reuptake of dopamine and, to a lesser extent, norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain. This causes the accumulation of dopamine, leading to euphoria and excitation. The increased stimulation of dopaminergic neurons in the mesolimbic (reward) circuit leads to addiction. Alcohol binds with GABA receptors producing inhibitory effects on neural activity. This produces cognitive impairment and reduced anxiety (disinhibition). Activation of GABA receptors also produces postsynaptic dopamine release, which stimulates the mesolimbic circuit in the brain, producing euphoria and addiction.
What are the effects of dopamine receptor antagonists?
They inhibit the expression of dopamine.
What neurotransmitter is depleted in patients with Parkinson's disease?
dopamine
What is a dopamine chaser?
a dopamine chaser is one who chases or craves life experiences that trigger excitement, resulting in a dopamine high.
