how perfect…dr too drunk asks about drugs. are you considering moving on? jus jokin there.
actually, if you want to know the way to illegal drug use you will find that they all (addicts that is) started out using the same substance. ALL. that is milk. Yes, every addict started life using milk, either from the mother or the bottle.
Who is most likely to enter the portal of addiction you ask? they say there are those with an addictive personality. Like most of the members of my family, for instance. We have heroin addicts, weed freaks, alcoholics a veritable smorgasbord of addiction. But not me. That is one reason they don’t like me that much.
Now use and abuse. If I am terminally ill and get a prescription for medical Marijuana, I am using it. If I get some good stuff down the block for a certain sum…I am abusing it. But wait, don’t they call addicts ‘users’
You probably will have a lot of debate about social users and abusers. How do I use heroin socially? Does that mean do I sociably share my needle?Hmmmm
there is big money in drugs. that is why they are still out there.
Some precursors to illegal (or legal, for that matter) drug abuse would be an “addictive personality” (the existence of which is somewhat debatable), a history of abuse in childhood, poverty, family dysfunction, and anxiety disorders.
Drug use = using drugs. Drug abuse = using drugs in a way that harms yourself or others.
Physical addiction means that the user will experience withdrawal symptoms from ending drug use. Psychological addiction means that the user want to use the drug even when to do so would be harmful. (Think of crackheads, who aren’t physically addicted but who nonetheless use their drug of choice in ways that are very detrimental to themselves.)
Drug abusers use their substance(s) of choice in ways that harm themselves and/or as a coping mechanism. Social users just enjoy it but don’t develop an over-reliance on it.
The main drug problem in the United States is prohibition, which creates crime and greatly increases the risks of the drugs they’ve made illegal. For example, if heroin and clean needles were legally available to addicts, there would be very few overdoses and the rates of HIV, Hepatitis C, etc. would be greatly reduced.
I’m not following the last question. Are you talking about drug tests? Surveys of people’s drug use?
