This paper presents preliminary conjectures about possible neurobiological relationships among seemingly disparate phenomena: religious rituals, native curing therapies, and the pharmacodynamic, psychological, and sociocultural components of opiate addiction. Central to the discussion is an analysis of the function of opiate receptors, the endogenous neurochemical that binds to opiate receptors, and the impact of exogenous opiates on human behavior. Throughout the paper a synthetic but admittedly speculative approach is employed.
本文针对一些看似毫无关联的现象提出了初步的推测，这些现象包括宗教仪式、本土治疗疗法以及阿片类药物成瘾的药效学、心理学和社会文化因素。讨论的核心是对阿片受体的功能、与阿片受体结合的内源性神经化学物质以及外源性阿片类药物对人类行为的影响进行分析。在整篇论文中，我们采用了一种综合但不可否认具有推测性的方法。
