Is it possible for someone to be addicted to a drug if they had never been within 5 feet of it?

No. There are arguments that a person can be genetically more likely to become addicted to substances. In order for addiction to occur the substance must be used, this creates either a mental (psychological) addiction to the substance and/or a physical (physiological) addiction. Physiologcial addiction requires the person to use the substance or they will experience withdrawl effects such as shaking, sweating, headaches etc. Psychological addiction invloves the person mentally thinking they must have the substance (ie. if i dont take the drug i wont be able to sleep) Hope this Helps!
