Love isn't a chemical high in the body. Love causes the chemical high. The chemical high is a reaction to love, not what love actually is.
The chemical high is caused by hormones released when you're physically attracted to someone. The feeling we get from those various chemicals is what we experience as "being in love". After a while, other chemicals take the place of those initially released, making a feeling of attachment and/or dependence.
