Check this out @Salmonamb , cocoa triggers opioid receptors :
Dark chocolate receptors: epicatechin-induced cardiac protection is dependent on δ-opioid receptor stimulation
Opioid modulation of socially transmitted and spontaneous food preferences in female mice. - PubMed - NCBI
Considering its (assumingly) protective effects against Endotoxins, Histamine and the lack of Prolactin triggering, it's probably the safest opiate I know of. I find it interesting though, how people relate to chocolate as a drug, and maybe it still possesses the Autism-like/mental clarity decreasing effect of opiates despite its neuroprotective components.
