How Much Use of Cocaine Does It Take to Lower Your Dopamine Levels, and How Long Until They Return Back?

Question by Ray Smith: How much use of cocaine does it take to lower your dopamine levels, and how long until they return back?
How much use of cocaine will lower your dopamine levels (approximately), and once they are lowered how long approximately will it take for them to return to normal levels?

I understand a once every few months use doesn’t do anything, so how much use would have negative affects, say maybe once a week, or would even less use than that affect the dopamine levels?

Why Does Everyone Think Pot Is So Bad?

Question by wicker_1994: Why does everyone think Pot is so bad?
I think it’s wrong for society to lie to teenagers about smoking marijuana. I find it frustrating when I hear ads from places like “Partnership for a Drug Free America” running commercials against Pot that just aren’t true. I don’t like it when people warn teens about using “Marijuana and Cocaine” when Pot is almost harmless and Cocaine is a dangerous drug. When people lie to teens about Marijuana then teens assume they are lying about other drugs too and I think they are more likely to do drugs they shouldn’t do. So I think it’s time to come clean and tell the truth. If teens are going to do drugs, they should have truthful and accurate information. So I have decided to tell it like it is. Best decisions are made when the real facts are presented.
