Surely it depends on the kind of model being used. IMHO, diffusing
chemical
signals will have to be part of such models, and many of them might be
easily

More fascinating is that the possible variety of such simulated drug
experiences
would vastly exceed what can be done with physical molecules. Check out

with molecules...
