dopamine is a chemical released that makes us feel happy, or get an adrenalyn rush of some sort. This can happen during any activities, including sports, video games, sex, violence. Pretty much anything. Drugs also increase the amount of dopamine released. If one were to be at an all high, they'd either start getting used to it, or if it works like it says it does, they would cease to feel. They would be a neutral robot. No emotion whatsoever.

The absense of dopamine in someone is what causes certain types of depression. No feeling of accomplishment, or happiness, so I do feel that in certain cases, drugs are needed to kick start the dopamine in their system, but never a permanent high for everyone.
