ELI5 Why do Drugs make someone less happy long term and the brain adapts negatively vs Natural rewards/good activites where this doesnt happen or way less?
Why do drugs make someone less happy long term vs natural reward/good habits (sex, good meal etc..) that make someone more happy or atleast happy the same long term? Does anyone have a mechanistic explanation?. Like i understand brain adapt to drugs and you are less happy than before when not using but why does this not happen/not nearly as much with normal activites like sex or a hobby etc? #education
