  That's brutal. I'm never doing drugs.

    That's one option. But for sure, one should be careful with drugs that down-regulate receptors, especially those that do so long-term or permanently. As cocaine does. Receptor down-regulation is the mechanism for biological addiction. Cocaine is less addictive than nicotine, ethanol or opiates. You need considerable high-dose exposure to do serious damage. But once it's done, you're screwed.

  Thanks for this article. Made me block random facebook posts from the girl I spent 7 years being addicted to. I don't want to get any unexpected cues that could trigger pathways forged by this addiction.
