Amphetamine / speed

Nor-adrenaline is released throughout the body and brings it into an active state. Your heart beats faster and your blood pressure rises.

Dopamine is released in the reward centre of the brain. This system associates feelings of pleasure with certain kinds of behaviour such as eating, drinking and sex.

This makes you want to repeat such behaviours. Drugs can also stimulate the reward centre and arouse pleasurable feelings.
