Buddhist Temple Left Without Monks After They All Test Positive for Meth
Meth is very addictive stuff. Not only does it give you a dopamine high, which directly excites the brain&#x27;s reward system, but if you take too much, it can <i>permanently</i> damage dopamine receptors, enough that you&#x27;ll never be the same as before.<p>(IIRC, it&#x27;s a dopamine reuptake inhibitor that can also turn into a dopamine release agent at high doses. The release agent is the dangerous part.)<p>When I first started my ADHD medication (dextroamphetamine), I had a dopamine high for around a week, and that helped me understand why people get so addicted.
