Best Answer

Legal drugs taken only as directed (not exceeded in dose) can cause drug dependency, which is different than being an addict. However, if the drug was stopped for a chemically dependent person/patient, they will experience withdrawal just like a drug addict would.

A drug addict is a person who is dependent, physically, psychologically or both, on a chemical substance, whether legal or illegal.

The most common legal drug is alcohol, followed by nicotine.
