I thought it was cannabis that had aN effect on seratonin levels. You're saying all of these chemicals can be controlled, if you know what you're doing? [/quote] Yes through meditation. Stimulants = Dopamine. MDMA and other anti depressants = serotonin. Cannabis just effect canabinoid receptors, and mildly released dopamine. Careful, if you mess up your dopamine levels you can develop schizophrenia and severe permanent brain damage. Worse thing would be to blow out receptors in your brain and never feel happy ever again. [/quote] MDMA is a damn AMPHETAMINE, moran. You clearly don't have a clue here, chief. [/quote] You mean MDMA is a Phenethylamine. Just because its a variant does not mean its Amphetamine. [/quote]
Original Message
The tingle down your spine is said to be triggered by a rush of dopamine. This is an involuntary action caused by different triggers such as a beautiul melody or a quick scare.
I can remember always being able to send this sensation along my spine and body. Is this simply being able to control the flow of dopamine in your brain? Is all of our chemical processing in the mainframe of our brain controllable, can we hack the system?
Can everyone do this if they simply try?
What is the point of this sensation
