Wow so really using certain medications to flood the brain is like using a bazooka vs how dopamine is meant to be more precisely distributed.
We don't have many legitimate medications that would do what you're saying.
Exactly! People will look back at us akin to how we look at people who were given cocaine for a sore throat years ago
Please share with the class what medication you're vaguely alluding to
