The high usually lasts around 15 minutes, after that time dopamine levels in the brain plummet, leaving the user feeling depressed and low. A typical response among users is to have another hit of the [funk], however, the levels of dopamine in the brain take a long time to replenish themselves, and each hit taken in rapid succession leads to increasingly less intense highs. It is the intense desire to recapture the initial high that is so addictive for many users.Add on...

Dopamine. It's at the core of our sexual drives and survival needs, and it motivates us to do just about everything.
This mechanism within the reward center of the primitive brain has been around for millions of years and has not changed. Rats, humans indeed, all mammals are very similar in this respect.
Dopamine is behind a lot of the desire we associate with eating and sexual intercourse.
Similarly, all addictive drugs trigger dopamine (the "craving neurochemical") to stimulate the pleasure/reward center.
So do gambling, shopping, overeating and other, seemingly unrelated, activities.
Go shopping: dopamine. Smoke a cigarette: dopamine. Computer games: dopamine. Heroin: dopamine. Orgasm: dopamine. They all work somewhat differently on the brain, but all raise your dopamine.
You get a bigger blast of dopamine eating high-calorie, high-fat foods than eating low-calorie vegetables. You may believe that you love ice cream, but you really love your blast of dopamine. You're genetically programmed to seek out high-calorie foods over others.
Similarly, dopamine drives you to have sex over most other activities. With dopamine as the driving force, biology has designed you to engage in fertilization behavior to make more babies, and urges you to move on to new partners to create greater genetic variety among your offspring.
Your primitive brain accomplishes these goals of more progeny and promiscuity by manipulating your brain chemistry, and thus your desires and thoughts. High levels of dopamine increase sexual desire, encouraging you to behave recklessly.
The thrill of a new affair and the rush from using pornography are examples of high dopamine. Unfortunately, consistently high levels of dopamine lead to erratic behavior and compulsions that are not conducive to survival. (See the "EXCESS" column in the chart below.)
Most mammals, therefore, evolved with defined estrus periods when they "go into heat." The rest of the time they are more or less neutral about sex.

Inhalant drugs are often used by children, teenagers, incarcerated or institutionalized people, and impoverished people, because these solvents and gases are ingredients in hundreds of legally-available, inexpensive products, such as aerosol spray cans, adhesives and rubber cements, deodorant sprays, hair spray, air fresheners, gasoline, lighter fluid, paint, and paint thinner. However, most [rap] users tend to be adolescents (between the ages of 13 and 17). In some countries, chronic, heavy [rap] use is concentrated in marginalized, impoverished communities.
hOW LONG DID THAT POST TAKE TO CREATE?
BRILLIANT.
HEY! CAPS LOCK!
sayin. I just got a little hit of dopamine I think.
Shit don't even get you high but some people will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of their lives buying [latin] ten, often twenty times a day.
