Cocaine is active in the frontal lobe which controls movements. This makes Rick vey fidgety, and unable to stay still.

I think I'm lost
Why is there a ufo and is that Jupiter!?
I NEED MORE OF THIS!
Cocaine blocks the reuptake of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine in the brain, leading to an intense buildup of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft. This overstimulation of the brain's reward system causes euphoria and can also lead to hallucinations and soon, ADDICTION.

That was fun... I think I think I should do this more!

Luckily that guy gave me extra cocaine
Пързалка: 9
WHAT IS HAPPENING, WHERE AM I!
Пързалка: 10
Cocaine leaves dopamine trapped in the synaptic cleft which leads dopamine to the receptors causing Rick to overstimulate.
