>hurr durr dopamine is happiness man
>dopamine is the chemical of love

all of these memes need to stop asap, dopamine is a neurotransmitter, yes it is transmitted in larger amounts during sex, and other pleasurable activities but it is only a neurotransmitter

meaning that without a significant portion of you nervous system doesn't work hence no, no one can be born without it and survive

We come kinda close with crack and meth.

The result is an overwhelming since of reward and accomplishment at first, but then the parts of the brain that produce the chemical and receive it burn out.

This is why junkies chase their first high.
