I think the opioids are likely that way because the natural ligands are polypeptides rather than small molecule transmittersMate - I don't touch stimulants beyond caffeine. I'm quite capable of being anxious without chemicals. In fact, I don't consume anything not prescribed and I don't even like HAVING to take those.
I also find the chemistry sort of dull. Once you have seen a few clandestine labs, you quickly decide that no, you don't want to put ANYTHING made that way into your body.
I like opioid chemistry BECAUSE nobody has been able to find a set of rules. It's a genuine unknown where an independant researcher can genuinely improve upon that which is known. But I don't go anywhere NEAR breaking the law, ever.
