Drugs and Me :)

A trigger of chemicals in the brain doesn't classify something as a drug. A drug is an actual substance. Chocolate is just sugar and not a whole lot else which causes a different response. Video games only cause a reaction in certain individuals. In others, they do nothing. Actual drugs tend to have some kind of universal effect that will get you regardless of who you are.

Love isn't a trigger either; it's everything leading up to it that gives the impression that it may be. Infatuation, affection, and the like release chemicals in the brain. Drugs tend to release them on a very high level.

what i wanted to say is that sex, chocolates, videogames have similar actions in the body as those that use drugs, making these as pseudo drugs, dont know if i explain myself. but many people acting as if they have never tried drugs when in reality many people have experimented what drug users do but not in such an intense way

oh yeah, that's completely wrong by the way. chocolate contains theobromine, as well as a compound called anandamide that can produce similar (though much less profound) results to marijuana, as the compound binds with the same receptors as marijuana's psychoactive units

Then you must have to have a lot of it. I don't know anybody who reacts the same way to even large amounts of chocolate in even a minor way compared to somebody who has just smoked marijuana.

women, when depressed usually eat chocolates (I know it sounds as a generalization, but it was shown in cosmo, forgot the percentage of women that do this) because it can have painkiller like properties on the users, and can cause similar feelings as to those when having sex

Chocolate also contains caffeine, which is like the most widely used psychoactive drug because it comes in so many forms and products and it is contained naturally in things like chocolate.

Something that is psychoactive changes the way you feel. Like aspirin, ibuprofen, caffeine and crack cocaine.

Even if it the amount is small, that technically classifies it as a drug. You said so yourself, drug is an actual substance. If whatever contributes to drugs is in chocolate, even in the smallest amounts, then chocolate is a drug.

It's the same way that a drop of water is still water.

"Caffeine is a bitter, white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that is a psychoactive stimulant. Caffeine is defined as a drug because it stimulates the central nervous system, causing increased alertness. Caffeine gives most people a temporary energy boost and elevates mood."

If that doesn't sound like a drug, I dunno what is.

Ah I see! Most people who know me here know I'm a pothead and that I've done various drugs in my past! I wouldn't promote taking most of the drugs I have tho! lol Although pot is a different matter, I'm definitely in the pro-legalisation camp for it and think it could benefit society in a variety of ways.

Amen brother. Too bad about the harsh cannabis laws in the UK. Up to 5 years just for possession is ridiculous.
