[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 646132, member: 17461"] It makes sense to me that an agent that affects the chemicals involved in how our brains work would create addiction. Back when we realized difficult child son problem was drugs (duh) I did so much research on addiction in general, and on the chemicals cocaine wrings out of the brain to create the high. Picture a sponge, full of sweet, clean water. Picture a hand, wringing the sponge dry and leaving it lying in the sun. That is how I pictured the brain of someone addicted to the kinds of drugs that end pain or slow time (which they say is the mechanism behind the high pot gives). For drugs like Ecstasy and cocaine and heroin, where the effect revolves around feeling loving, or less inhibited, or smarter...it must be an exactly opposite feeling to be without the drug. I wrote all this to difficult child son, along with vitamin and amino acid regimes to replace the progenitors of the chemicals bathing a well-balanced brain. Mom overkill again. He never read them, and he and difficult child daughter used to laugh and laugh at me for having done that. Turns out I was right. Cedar [/QUOTE]
