You know |
| [00:00.91] |
What you gotta understand is that it's a drug |
| [00:03.16] |
That affects the brain chemistry of the user |
| [00:04.94] |
And it causes things like paranoia euphoria |
| [00:07.71] |
Insomnia loss of appetite |
| [00:09.92] |
And this really insatiable craving for more ******* |
| [00:12.68] |
|
| [00:13.91] |
People who smoke crack they get this immediate |
| [00:16.20] |
And intense release of dopamin in the brain |
| [00:18.86] |
And once those dopamin levels plummet after |
| [00:20.98] |
Just a few minutes |
| [00:22.24] |
The smoker feels compelled to take another hit |
| [00:24.42] |
Just to ease the feelings of depression and sadness |
| [00:27.85] |
|
| [00:29.00] |
