Most drugs affect the brain's "reward circuit" by flooding it with the chemical messenger dopamine.
This reward system controls the body's ability to feel pleasure and motivates a person to repeat behaviors needed to thrive, such as eating and spending time with loved ones.
This over stimulation of the reward circuit causes the intensely pleasurable "high" that can lead people to take a drug again and again.
The more people use a drug the less of a effect it has on them requiring them to take more of the drug to feel what they felt the first time they took it.
As a person continues to use drugs, the brain adjusts to the excess dopamine by making less of it and/or reducing the ability of cells in the reward circuit to respond to it.
This reduces the high that the person feels compared to the high they felt when first taking the drug—an effect known as tolerance.
They might take more of the drug, trying to achieve the same dopamine high.

Morgan Spring Valley response to Thomas
I think that first and third are truths and the second is the lie.
Doug Thompson response to Tristin Fahrenkrug
I feel like your last statement that says,"If your body weight is at least 10% higher than it should be, then you are obese" is a lie. This is untrue because that 10% could be muscle not making you overweight fat wise>
In response to Morgan. I also believe that planned parenthood is a good thing. Research shows that the states with it, have fewer teen births, and fewer STDs.
I believe that #1 is a lie. I believe this because a mammograms has nothing to do with planned parenthood.
