Love = Cocaine = Dopamine

Every time I hear about cocaine, or grass I get a picture of ‘hare rama hare krishna’ song, in short the picture of hippie culture. Feels like so much of love and passion involved.

Taling about love, it creates strong emotions & chemical reactions which results an increase in certain hormones like dopamine in the body. A reaction your brain make on making love (having sex) is similar to the brain reaction on having cocaine. In certain cases the emotion can be so strong that the person under effect can be intoxicated enough to kill someone or even self if refused love.

Dopamine is a hormone commonly associated with having pleasure, providing feelings of enjoyment and motivating a person to perform certain activities repeatedly. Well, you know what this is pointing to… People in India might be aware of ‘Bhaang’, which on consuming also results in similar behavior.

Did you also know Dopamine helps regulate movement and emotion and its depletion may cause Parkinson’s disease.
