ITS NOT A GOD DAMN DISEASE/CANCER.. I'm not addicted, because I haven't done drugs.. Spose, I must be lucky, I don't have the disease to try...
Come back to earth people..
For those in this thread that have been addicted, tell me, what was the reason you tried it in the first place? Or where you naturally called out by drugs, they chose you, and you had no choice?? OR where you socialising/trying something new? With your answer, I think you'll find out how ridiculous it sounds to be calling it a cancer/disease
If he's taking drugs for recreation then youre right, if it's for some other problem he has mentally then your answer's just ignorant.
Addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiologic disease, with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. It is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving.
Drug habituation (habit) is a condition resulting from the repeated consumption of a drug. Its characteristics include (i) a desire (but not a compulsion) to continue taking the drug for the sense of improved well-being which it engenders; (ii) little or no tendency to increase the dose; (iii) some degree of psychic dependence on the effect of the drug, but absence of physical dependence and hence of an abstinence syndrome [withdrawal], and (iv) detrimental effects, if any, primarily on the individual.
