    Getting high is part of all mammals. Elephants removing roofs of clay huts to steal and drink booze in India. Dolhpins biting on Starfishes to get high on their venom. Reindeers eating Amanita Muscaria mushrooms to get a GABAergic blast.

    It’s all about those sweet neurotransmitters. Our whole body is made to use any kind of pleasure (external like food, drugs or internal like sport, sex or just getting your shit done) to be able to move on. Without pleasure, mammals wouldn’t repeat anything. Why would they? Nothing would be fun at all.
