It's quite likely, but the reality is that there just isn't enough testing done to determine any specific details about how long, how severe, or how permanent it will be. Read the article about Dopamine in Wikipedia to learn specifically what impact Adderall (an amphetamine) has on the brain.

What do you say to a friend addicted to drugs?

It depends on what type of drug they are addicted to. Addiction is mainly caused because the person using feels that they cannot function efficiently without being on the certain prescription (if pills are the case) But, if the person using is taking more than the recommended dosage, then they are most likely taking the prescription for recreational purposes (getting an opiate high or just to feel out of it) If you have a friend relying on prescription drugs, try to find out why they are addicted, whether they are sad, angry, or if they feel useless. Once you know more, then you can suggest ways for them to stop using frequently. While they may notice withdrawal symptoms, using less frequently can save a lot of damage from happening to their vital organs due to certain ingredients in the pill (i.e. acetaminophen can damage your liver). Let them know that they can really damage their body, and tell them that you are here to help them.

You want to smoke weed but your only 11 and im scared of getting addicted what does it feel like when you get high full details please?

You don't want to. I used to smoke, but then my friend became seriously addicted. He got extreamly sick. It was the worst condition I've ever seen anybody in. He died about two weeks later. He was only sixteen and a very talented artist. Chances are, if you smoke, you'll become addicted too. Sure it's worth the risk?

Should I refer a friend with addiction to alcohol to alcohol rehab?

Referring a friend to medical rehab for addiction can be the best gift one can ever give to a friend. If a friend is addicted to drinking alcohol, one must be supportive and help them get the necessary treatment in rehab.
