Neurotransmitters (and other Mood Changers)

All Natural – All Organic Neurotransmitters responsible for: reward pathways, mood, sleep, muscle control, appetite, memory, heart rate, attention span, breathing, fight or flight, general intellectual function, blinking, blood pressure… Serotonin Epinephrine Dopamine

Nicotine Activates Reward Pathways  Unnatural amounts of Dopamine and Serotonin are released in the brain.  The biochemistry is similar to that created by Cocaine and MDMA (Ecstasy)  Continued ingestion of nicotine creates an attachment to high levels of Dopamine

Happiness at the Molecular Level

The “Bliss” Receptor Anandamide fits; THC fits  Ananda – from the Sanscrit for Bliss  Only discovered 20 years ago, anandamide is a neurotransmitter that is very rarely used, but plays a role in one’s regulation of pain, appetite, anxiety, fertility, depression and memory (studies show that it may induce forgetfulness)  THC fits this receptor perfectly
