Addictions

well no one really knows as early man invented beer after, what I'm guessing, agricultural settlements started with basic crops such as wheat. beers made from wheat of which beer was probably accidentally discovered starting the first alcoholic drink and i guess people started wondering what made people like this.

I have no idea how it really was discovered this is just my hypothesis

There may be obvious side effects and some not so much. There may be drowsiness, fainting , diarrhea, kidney cancer, take longer for your body to create antibodies, and worse case scenario DEATH.

It really depends on who you are, it is basically the same with alcohol. There are many recreational users today you wouldn't expect that even have high positions in society. The biggest issue is mental dependence, marijuana is not physically addictive but using it as self medication for depression, nervousness or social anxiety can cause problems. If you use it to self medicate you may come to find that it is hard in those situations which can cause dependence and can cause irritability and symptoms of with-drawl or moodiness without it. The dependence might cause money issues, and depending on how much you make it could leave you with smaller funds or possibly debt. If the individual works at a strict workplace that tests for marijuana (many only test for 'hard' drugs) and they get caught they could lose their job but that is about it. Daily marijuana use has shown (not sure if statistically significant) a drop in test grades, which may only be relevant to workers in precise situations or students who already have educational issues. It is entirely relative to how responsible the user is and how well they know when to stop.

The addiction itself has no harm to you at all. The unhealthy part of it is when you constantly ingest toxic chemicals. The only safe drug is caffeine and it too can be harmful if you overdose. But even then it is very hard to overdose on caffeine.

If syringes are made scarce for IV drug users they're going to share. If condoms are not attainable people will get careless and go without. These things are made readily available to help prevent the spread of HIV.

The effects of alcohol are a general stimulant of the functions of the brain and body.

makes your nose bleed and can cause loss of smell. but I've snorted pills for years and i can still smell fine so i say go for it.

^ The above is a terrible answer and should be taken serious. Who ever posted this must not be in full addiction to whatever drug they are snorting. First off, just nose bleeds and not being able to smell are two very minor problems when it comes to snorting drugs. I am not a doctor, I am an addict who is trying to get better but I'm not your average addict in that I do a lot of researcher, am attempting to get a degree (not going well due to my addiction) and read a lot on subjects I'm interested in. I have studied natural health for 7 years now and snorting drugs, besides being a waste of the drug (in terms of pills/prescription meds), it damages the lungs significantly, of course it damages your sinus cavity and then of course any use of drugs damages the body immensely. How anyone can promote drug use and snorting is ignorant and has not fallen completely into the addiction. Because I do not have an addictive personality normally, it took me about 8 years or more to become an everyday user when it comes to pain meds. I feel in love and had a mental addiction almost immediately but I was able to have control over it for the first decade almost but it took me staying home all day to start using it more frequently and then to the everyday and there is NOTHING fun about it, NOTHING!! I mean that with every sense of the word. I don't enjoy the high anymore, if I even get high. I need so much of it, it costs me a rent payment just for a few days of being well. I need it to function or else I'm not happy and extremely sick. My life has gone nowhere and I'm extremely depressed and the pills don't even help anymore. It was the ultimate trap, with the facade that having all day access to the pills would be the ultimate life and I would have fun and be happy, only to find out that it would make my life so miserable it's too much to bare. But now its too late, I'm trapped, if I stop I'm sick for days if not a week, and when that is through, then it's months of hopeless depression boarding on suicidal, with no energy or motivation to do anything. The mental addiction is the hardest if not impossible to beat now and if there is a Satan, then this is his ultimate drug. It lures you in with the appeal of not feeling any emotions and fake happiness and once you are in, you are in for good and you no longer are happy and nothing in life will bring you joy, not even the drug you gave up your life for. Please, for anyone reading this, do not listen to the niavity of people who make careless comments like this comment above mine. If you are not physcially addicted yet and completely trapped, stop now. I know it is the hardest time to stop because you get the most joy at this stage of the addiction but I promise you, I give you my word of honor and will bet you any amount of money you can think of, it does not turn out well and you will only regret and be miserable. To get out of the end stage I'm in, is worse than surving the epocolypse. Most people in my stage of addiction never make it out, only die. Do not let yourself get there. It is not fun at all. You can only get so high and eventually you do run out of the good feelings it use to produce.

You have a form of paraphilia, an unusual attraction (almost always sexual in nature) to odd objects. While harmless in inself, you would do well to speak with a professional about it, as it is an issue that will undoubtedly cause you many problems and a lot of embarrassment later in life.

Some of the problems regarding drug and alcohol dependency are it can cause addiction, mental problems, relationship problems. Some are prone to suicides and committing crimes. People that are victims of drug and alcohol addiction often time needs professional consultancy or rehabilitation.

Yell alot, smoke, smoke, and smoke some more. Cough and clear your throat constantly, but when you have accomplished the rasp in your voice, it won't be so sexy when you are known for your loud mouth, obnoxious behavior, and cigarette smell. Talking too much, singing too much and of course smoking too much Singing without warming up will give you a raspy voice. Stevie Nicks got her signature voice this way by accident. It creates scar tissue and nodules on your vocal cords. It is something that I would not want to have.

Consuming slate pencils can cause hypercalcemia, pancreatitis and other complications if taken in large amounts. It could also be a result of anemia, as well as bad nutrition and should be checked out by a doctor.

If you are referring to the real addiction that goes above normal range and starts to become a psychological problem, then it's called "hypersexuality".

It's really debatable whether it's a real "addiction" or "mental condition" at all as far as that goes, however.

Some treat it like a normal addiction (such as a drug one), while some think it's a form of sexual compulsivity (associated with obsessive compulsive disorder in a sense) and impulsivity.

Others say it's a myth made up by today's culture/society.

In my opinion, an addiction is any activity which you do on a considerably higher level than others, which you can't cease even when others are bother by it and even when it does damage to any area of your life, when it alters your behavior in any way and when you tend to prioritize it above every other thing present in your life.

I also recall "nymphomania" being the term referred to hypersexual women exclusively and I briefly recall something about "premature ejaculation" as a male reference to it.

Depending on your sucking style, that is, the angle of your thumb, the length of time sucking per day, the intensity, and length of time for your habit in years, you may or may not have any affects. The worst case scenario for active, intense thumb suckers is an open bite where the top and lower teeth do not overlap in the resting, postural position and/or some overjet, otherwise called "buckteeth". The best case scenario is no dental affects and a very calm disposition because thumb sucking has been proven to reduce tension and to even raise the levels of dopamine, a natural, body produced hormone, that elicits good internal feelings. The great majority of thumb suckers have no to minimal dental affects.

The stomach can't compress ingested material from the stomach to the small intestine, so the stomach attempts to compress the food, and occasionally forces it back up to the mouth, forcing the victim to vomit the "excrement". The reason it tastes so bad is because a thin shell of stomach acid travels with the vomit as it comes to the mouth.

Acute methadone withdrawal can last for up to two weeks, depending on the degree of addiction. Methadone metabolism produces long-lived metabolites that are also narcotic and create withdrawal symptoms. The best method involves SHORT TERM Suboxone therapy, preferably inpatient, with other medical support. Post acute withdrawal can last for several months, and ideally involves other kinds of care, principally emotional support, nutrition, exercise and medical evaluation for symptoms that may have been covered up by the addiction.

Recovery is a different issue entirely; it involves getting our emotional, physical and social life back to something like normal and, depending on how hard we are willing to work at it, can take from a few months to a couple of years -- to never.

It usually dissolves completely within five minutes, but if they have been on a shelf for awhile can take up to 10 minutes. Suboxone should only be taken sublingually(dissolved under tongue), if not taken this way it is virtually ineffective.
