Steve Alexander, a neuroscientist who works on cannabinoid receptors at
Nottingham University says drugs like Rimonabant tap into pathways of
the brain associated with pleasure. "The brain processes you undergo as
you eat nice food are very similar to what you do when you smoke
cannabis or inject heroin."
