Addiction to Drugs Physical or Mental?

Question by Omar: addiction to drugs physical or mental?
Is addiction to stimulant drugs a physical or mental addiction?

Best answer:

Answer by .
Depends. And is probably a mixture of both. With a drug like cocaine, if you have been taking it a lot, and then you don’t have any, you get a itchy desperate feeling like you’ve got to have some more. Same with cigarettes or alcohol, your body gets used to having it and when it doesn’t, it starts to withdraw and you want mor to stop the feeling of discomfort. But then I’d say that the onset of the addiction comes from a mental perspective. Say with a drug like weed, the physical withdraw isn’t uncomfortable, you just rely on it mentally.

Is There a Link Between Child Abuse and Drug Abuse?

Question by sarah: Is there a link between child abuse and drug abuse?
I was just curious, if I person is abused as a child (sexually, emotionally, physically) then will it lead to substance abuse (drugs, alcohol, etc.) later in their life?

Best answer:

Answer by Daisy ???
No, drug abuse is a choice. In drug rehabs and therapy these days they almost encourage people to “remember” the abuse.. it MUST have happened. Even if it didn’t.

Bottom line, even the most abused, neglected child can overcome it and become a successful person. Choosing drugs and then blaming it on the abuse is a cop out.

Answer by Lisa
don’t do it. Even if it’s not legal does not mean you can’t get it. Snorting novocaine can kill you or leave you brain dead. Just because the name has “caine” in it does not mean it will get you high and as for whats the leathal dose, everyone has diffrent levels of tolarance and also depends on how much other abuse has been inflicted on the body and how much more it can take.

Answer by Blake
1. I’m not sure if you mean besides the psychedelic aspect or not. Either way, people ingest magic mushrooms to be more in tune with their inner spirit and mother earth. It is a very spiritual thing that shouldn’t be abused. It is not a recreational drug at all. It takes away in filters that your mind has so you are seeing everything as it truly is for the first time rather than what your mind has trained you to perceive it as. Basically, they are for spiritual purposes, but there are plenty of kids and people just looking to get ^HIGH^ that will abuse them and not get much more out of the experience besides some giggling and some “pretty colors.” Do not take them lightly.
