    Addictive drugs produce reward stimulants in the brain that over time need to be reinforced by larger quantities.

    Can't manufacturers ELIMINATE those ingredients that do that to the brain Ele?  Are these addictive drugs manufactured PURPOSELY that way to addict and ensure that folks will keep buying them? Thank you for your reply! :)
