The brain of a person in love will show activity in the amygdala, which is associated with gut feelings, and in the nucleus accumbens, an area associated with rewarding stimuli that tends to be active in drug abusers. or, to recap: the brain of a person in love doesn't look like the brain of someone overcome by deep emotion. it looks like the brain of a person who's been snorting coke.

I'll get rid of the drug problem. the first drug dealer will be publicly executed in front of everybody and all of the sudden the rest of the drug dealers are going to go "uh oh!" watch how fast the drug problem disappears. if you use drugs, you're addicted and you steal something, you'll get sent off to the outback and to work camps and all of the sudden no drug addicts. see how simple that is? so simple.
