Suppose you owned a black and white TV with a mere 3 channels, endlessly replaying the same shows. Then, you're gifted a state-of-the-art OLED TV boasting 10 million colors and 150 diverse channels. Who would ever willingly return to the limitations of a black and white set? Our daily lives often feel like that outdated television, confined to a repetitive cycle of just a few experiences

Porn does the same thing

good presentation. kzbin.info/www/bejne/in7QXnqZrJ2JZ8Usi=ciEqJbL7sZwF4VI0

I can't finish this with the ANNOYING BACKGROUND MUSIC!!!

Yeah meet me where I'm at and give me some more drugs!? A big crock of BS!!

This is PURE propaganda! It's no different than the government giving Methadone to heroin addicts, the government's insanely contructed 'harm reduction' is absolute nonsense. 'We got little Johhny down to 1 fifth of liquor a day from him drinking 5 fifths a day, so we're a success!" The illogical point and truth with that thinking is that Little Johhny is STILL an alcoholic! The agency and all persons connected with that should be charged with criminal behavior of aiding, abetting, and being complicit in those person's drug use and crimes. The system wants to lock up drug dealers but not people who directly supply the paraphernalia used for taking drugs?!

What language is he speaking? There should be some Hearing impaired captions on the bottom.

DON'T YOU KNOW ADDICTION TAKES OVER OUR LIVES, 'IT' THE DRUG RULES THE ADDICT.

NICOTINE ACTIVATES the parts of the brain which Scream "GIVE ME MORE DRUGS" no other substance does this, the brain remains soaking up drugs and need for more after the drug is gone physically. Nicotine IS the Gateway drug to all other drugs. Simple Fact. Nicotine leads to drug addiction & Alcohol.

Dopamine isn't rewarding, it's motivating. I've binged on crack, it doesn't actually feel good, quite horrible actually. You just feel compelled to do it, even as it ruins your night and leaves your bank account empty. It is like having a carrot on a stick you can never reach that you endlessly chase until you are exhausted. No release, only endless compulsion with the constant expectation that it'll feel great, you convince yourself, but when you really look at what it does and how it makes you feel objectively, you realize that it's not pleasure, it is suffering, instantly from the first dose!

substances never make me satisfied, but i still keep on taking them... so hard to understand why

Well explained

Dr. Tookes, I enjoyed watching your video discussing harm reduction. I enjoyed listening to the statistic that those who use syringe service programs are five times as likely to seek treatment, and getting them life-saving medication also guides them to recovery. Harm reduction services make a difference and have a powerful impact on the outcome of someone's life.

All very good and accurate info.

The first 12s of that were incredibly boring omg

Hello Dr. Volkow, I enjoyed watching this video, and I am curious to see where the research goes regarding how addiction affects some but not others. I feel they will find that the people who have addictions may have more childhood or adult trauma than those who do not have an addiction. I appreciate the information you presented, and I look forward to more videos! Best, Savannah

You guys are idiots

Soooo you’re enabling addiction? And mass distributing plastic and metal for free to people that don’t properly dispose of it? And all on my dollar???? You are the ones that have ruined this country. Junkies get arrested they don’t get free hand outs

I have learned there is no such thing as a recovered drug addict. Just turn your back on them and forget the easiest. The moment I did that with my ex the pain stopped I didn't worry about her. I wish you would have made better choices. But she chose to be homeless and prostitute herself and to get drugs living under a bridge in Chicago and Kedzie in Chicago. She's actually beautiful white girl kind of chubby kind of smart fan she actually has a great oral hygiene so she has all her teeth. But she can cannot get help so fuck it I can keep promoting my time on her. People care about yourself over other people because he's heroin addicts they don't care they don't care at all forget the exist

I am realizing just turn your back on them they are beyond help I turn my back on my ex and I feel so much better she lives on the streets now and he's prostituting herself for drugs and I couldn't be happier in my own private life it's all about me not about them

personally legal gets better results. hopeful.

Dopamine does have something to do with us feeling euphoria, but that's more serotonin than dopamine. Serotonin also makes us sleepy. Probably because it takes the piss out of you. Well, dopamine takes it out of you while serotonin knocks it out of you. That's another reason why you feel tired after being very happy for a good bit of time. The neuron of dopamine is also not what gives you massive levels of energy. It gives you some energy, but it's mostly norepinephrine and epinephrine(noradrenaline and adrenaline) that gives you that. That all has to do with the NMDA receptors; N-Methyl D-Aspartate. The neurons that bind to NMDA receptors are norepinephrine, epinephrine, and glutamate. The neuron glutamate is what gives you excitement. Cocaine binds to the D1-Like receptors(D1 and D5) as well as NMDA receptors. Crank(crystal meth) and Desoxyn(methamphetamine hydrochloride) both bind to D2-Like receptors(D2, D3, and D4). Also, Adderall binds to D1 and D2 receptors, but I'm not sure which of the types and/or subtypes of amphetamine in it is responsible for it binding to both D1 and D2. Maybe it's because all of these different amphetamines are working on the CNS. Who knows! Anyways, I hope this helps some of you.

Thanks for teaching!

Thank You 🙏

I'm on coke while I'm watching this! It's a great time, it really is.

Thks. Subscribing right now

borrrrrrrrriiiiiingggggg

This woman is a criminal.

Its hard to quit. I always control my emotions, im calm af. But i cant resist when my brain tricks me into snorting\smoking again... "Last time", "good reason", "just to relax" and all that kinda bullshit

This is amazing

If you like my comments...do not give me a like....just say....I liked it....and please do not subscribe....

Also nicotine can be found in aubergines and mushrooms just to mention some.....your body needs it

Nicotine is quite safe done via vapes .....not cigs....and nicotine is some molecule that the body uses in order to make bigger better molecules to produce shit.

Wine is also fine....done in moderation Wine is like the indica of drinks...gets you chilled....beer has hops and hops are like weed...so beer gets you high....pick your choice....and steer away from cafeine....it broke my ribs and ripped my shoulder muscels from my body....via coughing.....most painfull as per my doctor...more painfull than giving birth by a long shot....so no more coffee ...or coffin ...for me

As a Prince in old Germany once said....coffee is illegal ..just drink a pint of beer now and again........and the nosy self perpetuating noises we get from self important women.....down to coffee etc. Fock that!!!!

but you cannot mention caffeine here or anywhere else as Doctors and other medics depend on it big way The drawback of caffeine makes me phisically and mentally sick......it kills on average one in 3 ppl in the world I guess......coffee is made from roasting beans....roasting makes for carcinogenic elements.....so why is coffee still legal It frikkin nearly killed me

Cafeine...cause it makes ppl think they do good etc.... Also it causes a lot of by effects....and coffee in itself causes cancer
