drugs produced by the brain

[sands of time]

I know that morphine, GHB and I think THC are produced by the brain. Can anyone name any more, and is THC produced by the human body?

[sterling77]

THC isn't produced by the body, but there are specialized receptors in the brain for it. DMT is also produced in the brain by the pineal gland.

There's actually a term for drugs produced in the body, they are Endogenous. Our brain makes endorphins, which is the equivalent to morphine. It makes adrenaline and noradrenaline (the uppers). It also makes downers in the form of serotonin and GABA.

N,N-DMT, 5-Meo-DMT, 5-Ho-DMT (Bufetonin), Tryptophan and 5-htp are
produced by the body, and quite a few other Tryptamines as well (I
don't remember).

Morphine produced by the brain? I think this is wrong...

I recall reading an article claiming that morphine was produced naturally in the brain. Perhaps they had they're facts wrong cause it doesn't seem to have been excepted by the medical community.

If this is the Medical community i'd love to see the Med school.

Peace

Ummm I don't know what your getting at but this is not the medical community lol.

I didn't say our brain produces morphine, I said it produces endorphins that are our natural equivalent to morphine because they provide the same effects as opiates.Also, morphine binds to the same receptors as the endorphins.

[Dimitri]

No, Sterling, you didn't say it but the threadstarter did

Nothing like a good rush after a set of abcrunches! (no, im not trying to sell anything)

from what ivé read morphine is produced in the body, i will look for the article, i´ts one of our bodies pain relievers, and most strong opiods are broken down into morphine

The name endorphin comes from "endogenous morphine". Are endorphins chemically different from morphine?

Yeah you might be right with the decomposition of Opioids "down" to
morphine. I m not sure about that. But thats not the same like it is
produced from the body! For example n-OH-2c-b is a chemicals that
simply decomposes in my trouser pocket to 2c-b. But nobody would say,
that my trousers can produce 2c-b

The question is, whether it is PRODUCED by the body.

Thank you! I knew I read about this somewhere.

[Dimitri]

wow...Well, you are right, I didn't know that (is pretty new stuff)

I found another more detailed article here...

Anyone else feel the body turn on endorphin while watching TV. I stopped watching TV a number of years ago, but I will watch every now and then. When I do watch I can feel something in my head and it seems similiar to opiates.

every drug has an endogenous counterpart or else it wouldn't be a drug. as far as the exact chemical being produced by the body DMT is the only one i know of, which isn't to say that there arn't more.
