Would not be so sure about the humans. I think more humans are addicted to sugar than to cocaine.
An excellent point! I stand corrected.
They also want company. Rat park showed that when rats, social animals, have other rats around for play (and “play”) they do not get as readily addicted to morphine as when they are caged by themselves.
Scientist: uses the cocaine himself as he administers sugar to the rat.
Headline: Scientists prove that cocaine makes rats more polite.
Username checks out.
And they start talking when using magic mushrooms.
Turns out I have more in common with lab rats than I thought
I miss r/labrats...
