    These drugs release endorphins not dopamine.

    Dopamine is not a feel-good neurotransmitter.

    It’s widely misunderstood and misapplied.

    Dopamine in the brain is actually more tied into motor control and function.

    A loss of dopamine producing neurons causes Parkinson’s. Interestingly, giving parkinson patients drugs to boost dopamine gives them schizophrenia like symptoms. Dopamine is not related to the reward feeling. Please stop pushing this narrative. It’s probably one of the most annoying misunderstanding of modern neuroscience in the last few years.

    Dopamine is implicated in part of the reward pathway but it is not the reward feeling.

    Instead it is part of conditioning expectations for drug use related to behaviors that get the drug.

    It’s kind of complicated but again. It 100% is not a feel-good neurotransmitter.

    It is not what makes you enjoy anything.

    You are getting confused with endorphins.

    And euphoric effects of drugs. Which are independent from dopamine.

      Having had oodles of bad to mediocre coke in my days and then having 90+% pure (tested myself) I honestly think this graph is misleading, and coke is waaaaay higher.

      The problem is, meth dumps your serotonin and feels good by itself, while coke requires you to be doing something that dumps your sweet brain chems to really feel good-good. I don’t know the science behind it but it’s been explained to me. Doing coke and sitting around watching a show is meh. Doing blow and playing a stimulating video game or doing a project that feels good or talking your partner’s ear off (and they yours in return) about ridiculous shit feels incredible.

      But yeah. If you need to do a couple lines of coke to really feel it, it’s not good. If you’re getting zooted off a couple bumps, that’s the good stuff.

    The trick is to time the cocaine and crystal meth ingestion so that they peak at the same time that you orgasm, leading to an 80% * 300% * 1400% = 7460% 10700% dopamine increase.

          Same. Uggh. It was a bit like a fever, but so much worse. I was absolutely freezing and couldn’t stop shaking and sweating, but I also couldn’t really manage to distract myself with anything because my brain didn’t work, so I just had to lay there and wait. There was also this overwhelming, crushing ringing sound and a feeling like old analog TV static, along with a splitting headache. Thankfully my family were around, of whom I was dimly aware, so I could tell that time was probably passing, and I could kind of gauge that I probably wasn’t getting worse, or they’d take me to a hospital or something. That’s about the limit of what I was aware of, though. It just felt like it went on a really long time. I suspect in reality it didn’t last more than a few hours. I should ask; I’m sure one of them has a clearer memory of that aspect than I do.

      Careful, some of us on older hardware have a bug where we overflow and crash the system. My second cousin bricked his system just by stacking the last two.

      if you cum, snort, and puff at the same time, your body goes into recovery mode

        Nah, after snuffing it takes a few minutes
        You can actually pretty easily time this

        The only thing is: puffed will acted more or less immediately. So you’ll need to be able to smoke while jacking off, which can lead to serious injuries, when you’re already intoxicated

        So, wouldn’t recommend to synchronize it that much ;⁠-⁠)

        I heard there’s a flaw in the code meaning they cannot patch the old consumables and have to release a new version instead.

        It’s unclear if the pre-patch consumables will be usable after the patch or if they’ll simply be deleted.

        Imo the best move is to collect and sell to the hoarders. Not worth the risk of losing all that time I’d rather be able to buy the new stuff even if it doesn’t stack

      I’ve been running calculations for the last 10 minutes trying to figure out where tf you got 7460% from lmao

        Yeah I made a mistake. The proper calculation for an increase by 80%, then 300%, then 1400% should be

        x * ((1+0.80) * (1+3.00) * (1+14.00) - 1) =

        x*(1.8 * 4 * 15 - 1) = x*107 = 10700%

    So an orgasm will reduce the dopamine level to only 80% of where it’s supposed to be? Like you come and immediately just feel a little weird and disappointed?

    Like, I get it. It’s just nice to see it in writing.
