Abstract
Is Chocolate a Drug?
Chocolate contains little amounts of anandamide, an endogenous cannabinoid found in the mind. Anandamide is a synapse that objectives a similar cerebrum structures as THC, the dynamic fixing in cannabis. However, to have a generous effect on the cerebrum's own regular anandamide levels, specialists gauge you would have to eat a few kilos of chocolate! Neuroscientist Daniele Piomelli proposes that chocolate works all the more in a roundabout way to create its 'high'. Just as anandamide itself, chocolate contains two synthetics known to moderate the breakdown of anandamide. Chocolate may accordingly work by delaying the activity of this normal energizer in the mind.
