Answer: Meth

Step-by-step explanation:

Meth is a stimulant that affects the "Pleasure Reward Pathway" by altering the reuptake of the neurotransmitter dopamine, consequently leaving an excess dopamine in the synapse. It also increases the activity of the dopamine synthesizing enzyme Tyrosine Hydrolase, thus ensuring continuous release.
