    La producción cerebral de neurotransmisores como dopamina, o sustancia análogas a la morfina o cannabis, median nuestras motivaciones, deseos, emociones y placeres. Estas sustancias son esenciales en el funcionamiento del circuito de recompensa también conocido como sistema límbico, el cual controla no solo los comportamientos básicos para nuestra supervivencia como comer, beber o reproducirnos, sino también nuestra interacción social produciéndonos satisfacción o decepción.

    Cuando este sistema se estimula de manera potente y repetida, favorece la dependencia y la adicción al estímulo, sustituyendo el placer que produce, por la necesidad de repetirlo y su búsqueda compulsiva e irracional.

    Our motivations, desires, emotions and pleasures, are mediated by cerebral neurotransmitters production, like dopamine or analogous substances to morphine or cannabis. These substances are essential factors for the reward circuitry function, also known as limbic system, that is a mediator of our basic survival behaviors like eating, drinking or reproducing, and our social interaction too, generating feeling of satisfaction or disappointment in ourselves. The powerful or repeated stimulation of these stimuli encourage their dependence or addiction, being replaced the pleasure produced by the stimulus for the irrational and compulsive search of it
