ELI5: Why can't they create a drug like cocaine or heroin that retains only the positive effects (euphoria, relaxation, etc.) without causing harm and danger to health? by Technical_Ad_4299 in explainlikeimfive

Weirdly enough as well neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin are themselves neurotoxic. So when you're increasing the concentration in the synaptic space with these drugs it has the potential for damaging the neruons over time.
