After quitting smoking how long until the dopamine is regulated again?

Never!


After extra dopamine from a drug such as weed is gone does the body correct itself and produce the correct amount of dopamine again?

No, that's the whole point of addiction. But first of all, only recently has marijuana been shown to increase levels of dopamine, but only if taken in high enough doses. But if you assume marijuana is not addictive, then it shouldn't be affecting dopamine levels to begin with. Constant use of addictive drugs, however, can cause the brain to lose its ability to produce high levels of dopamine. When this happens, a drug user feels a greater need for the drug, or for even stronger drugs.


How does cocaine affect the transmission of nerve impulses?

Cocaine blocks the removal of Dopamine from the synaptic cleft, causing the existing Dopamine to bind again and again, overstimulating the cell. At first the cell just fritzes out- producing the high. But then, to counteract the extra stimulus, the body starts to remove Dopamine receptors. That's why it takes an ever increasing amount of cocaine (or meth or whatever stimulant you choose) to produce a similar high.


Opiates relieve pain and can induce euphoria by mimicking the brain's own painkilling substances called?

Endorphins, the natural chemical in your brain that produces pain relief. It also effects the dopamine levels of the brain, which control how happy and euphoric you feel. If you take enough opiates over a long period of time, the brain stops naturally producing these two chemicals, because it gets used to the boost the opiates given to it. That's why it's so difficult to come off of opiates. You feel depressed and in pain, because your brain is not used to producing these chemicals on their own anymore. It takes time for the brain to heal and to eventually produce these chemicals normally again.

If a quitter quits quitting is he still a quitter?

Technically, he is no longer a quitter, but he did a final quit. Since he quit quitting (and since they are double negatives, which make a positive), he no longer is a quitter. This is only on technical terms. Yes. Quitting is a genetic problem, so even if a quitter quits quitting, their own biology will demand they keep quitting. Quitters who quit quitting have formed a support group called Quitters Anonymous as it is very difficult to quit quitting and almost assured a quitter who has quit quitting will fall of the wagon and start quitting again. This is why QA has grown in recent years. Many quitters are turning to QA for help. I know because I am a quitaholic. He may have quit quitting, but he is still a quitter. It doesn't matter if he quit quitting or not.
