You think you're in control. That coffee just helps you focus. That drink just helps you relax. But what if that's just the story the chemicals want you to believe?
Welcome to the official user's manual for your brain on drugs. This isn't a lecture or a scare tactic; it's a brutally honest tour of our own brain chemistry and the psychoactive substances we use to alter it. We're pulling back the curtain on everything from the stimulants that kickstart your day, like caffeine and nicotine, to the depressants like alcohol that help you unwind.
Each episode, we break down the raw neuroscience of a specific drug—how stimulants like cocaine hijack your dopamine system, how opioids create a dangerous euphoria, and how hallucinogens rewrite your reality. We map out the entire user experience: the first euphoric rush, the peak, and the brutal, inevitable comedown. We expose the illusion of control and reveal the mechanics of chemical dependency and the harsh reality of withdrawal symptoms.
This is the drug education you never got in school, exploring the science behind the high and the biological trap of addiction.
If you're ready to understand the chemicals that shape our world and our minds, subscribe now. Knowledge is the ultimate power.
