Interesting study my father told me about in one of his recent medical journals.

A scientist recently proved that the same neurons that fire in the brain when on cocaine are the same ones that are firing when someone is gambling!

Man — every man — is an end in himself, not the means to the ends of others. He must exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself. The pursuit of his own rational self-interest and of his own happiness is the highest moral purpose of his life.
Ayn Rand

Wow, that is interesting!

Any aticles or anything you can link to?

Having sampled both in my time, I'm not suprised a bit to hear this.

I can see this because most people on Cocaine, also gamble to make the money to buy the cocaine. They go hand in hand!

Well i mean most all of the "good" drugs increase your Dopamine secretions, alcohol, marijuana, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, blah blah blah The ups and downs of gambling prolly does the same thing.

I either read or saw on TV something to that effect recently, & it makes sense. I bet any addictive rush hits the same part of the brain.
