If your good fortune continues you get even more receptors. <br /><br />However, a set back after continued good fortune will be devastating. The mother of all depressions.<br /><br />So physiologically it is unwise to have a life with no setbacks. The rewards required to make you feel good may become excessive.<br /><br />I was unaware that the body produced more receptors if the current crop remained filled.<br /><br />Very interesting.M.

When an opiod triggers receptors, it makes the receptors less sensitive, and also causes more receptors to be grown on the neuron surface. This means one has to ingest more opiods to obtain the same neural rush as the first time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282587.post-1109396211855818402005-02-26T05:36:00.000+00:002005-02-26T05:36:00.000+00:00I don't really trust people who never get high.
