Love is just another chemical high. So is it possible for them to bottle it someday, like they said they had with trust a while ago? I don't know what happened with that, but they said there was a chemical that made you feel like you trusted other people while around them. Total strangers. They wanted to make a perfume of it or something. So if they can make you trust a total stranger, why not love a total stranger, romantically, affectionately, whatever type you want.
And I'm not just talking aphrodisiacs, I'd like to know if it's possible to get a high that mimicks the feeling of being with someone you're in love with with no other people needed for it? What is it about that that makes it so special? Is it the social context, aka just the way you think about it, or is there some chemical effect that you just can't get from the drugs that are out there right now? What's going on in the brain?
