Dopamine is a chemical naturally produced in the body. In the brain, dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter, activating the five types of dopamine receptor - D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5, and their variants. Dopamine is also a neurohormone released by the hypothalamus. Its main function as a hormone is to inhibit the release of prolactin from the anterior lobe of the pituitary.

Dopamine can be supplied as a medication that acts on the sympathetic nervous system, producing effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. However, since dopamine cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, dopamine given as a drug does not directly affect the central nervous system. To increase the amount of dopamine in the brains of patients with diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Dopa-Responsive Dystonia, L-DOPA (levodopa), which is the precursor of dopamine, can be given, because L-dopa can cross the blood-brain barrier.
DOPAMINE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DOPE

It might be, but you also have to consider the endocannabinoids, whose name is directly derived from their actions resembling that of tetrohydrocannabinol (THC), because they both bind to cannabinoid receptors in the human body
