Yes all drugs do is trick the brain into releasing chemicals like dopamine and seratonin. Other stimuli releases those like sex and eating.

No. If you had actually understood my question...
Is there any kind of disorder or strange occurrence that could happen to someone where they could get the same effects of a specific drug.

In Bipolar disorder, mania is often characterized by hallucinations, feelings of grandeur, the ability to stay awake for days on end, and racing thoughts.  Not exactly the same as amphetamines, but there are clear similarities.

Adrenaline is a naturally occurring hormone/neurotransmitter that is released after heavy exercise or periods of thrill/fear. It has effects that are similar to opiates.

Production of other neurotransmitters, i.e. serotonin can also produce effects similar to that of some drugs. So I'd say yes...in a sense.

Yeah that is ture yet you have to prooduce a VERY large amount in order to even get that effect. That is Why if 9 times out of ten if you see a loved one in some kinda hurt. You will go after then and be able to lift cars and shit like that. You know what i mean?

many people compare high dose/repeated trips on dxm to having schizophrenia

Generally speaking, drugs stimulate certain receptors in a way that the body never will naturally. An interesting case to examine is DMT. Dr. Rick Strassman, who extensively studied DMT (a hallucinogenic tryptamine), theorized that the pineal gland may release high amounts of DMT into the brain at death, resulting in near-death experiences. Large amounts of study certainly stand between this being a hypothesis and this being a known fact, but it is interesting to consider.

lsd is a lot like not being sane. cocaine is a lot like being a delusional paranoid neurotic, compulsive liar, others. heroin is like a long, long, long loving orgasm.
