One way of increasing levels of dopamine in the brain is through the inhalation or digestion of marijuana. Dopamine is a chemical produced in the brain that is responsible for feelings of euphoria and reward. Very frequent use of marijuana can cause the brain to temporarily lose its ability to produce high levels of dopamine. In contrast, cocaine, which also gives the brain high levels of dopamine, destroys the neurons in the brain (responsible for producing dopamine) to lose they're ability to even produce minimal amounts of dopamine. When this happens, a drug user feels a greater need for the drug, or for even stronger drugs.

Please, support your local chapter(s) of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) to end the prohibition of the natural herb: marijuana.
