However, prolonged use of ecstasy can deplete dopamine levels, causing mood disturbances and cognitive impairments.


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 will help increase dopamine?

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.
