Symptoms of addiction were increased "grooming" (scratching, skin picking, hair plucking), restlessness, nocturnal activity, gastric and bowel disturbances, slight loss of weight, increased amiability and apparent sense of wellbeing. Curiously, the pupils of the ape addicts' eyes dilated, whereas those of human drug-takers contract. The sexual effect was mixed: shortly after receiving his dose the animal would mate readily, later fly into a rage and fight...
