Drug Addiction

This should answer your question:

Enzymes of the smooth ER help detoxify drugs and poisons, especially in liver cells. Detoxification usually involves adding hydroxyl groups to drugs, making them more soluble and easier to flush from the body. The sedative phenobarbital and other barbiturates are examples of drugs metabolized in the manner by smooth ER in liver cells. In fact, barbiturates, alcohol, and many other drugs induce the proliferation of the smooth ER and its associated detoxification enzymes. This, in turn, increases tolerance to the drugs, meaning that higher doses are required to achieve a particular affect, such as sedation. Also, because some other the detoxification enzymes have relatively broad action, the proliferation of the smooth ER in response to one drug can increase tolerance to other drugs as well. Barbiturate abuse, for example, may decrease the effectiveness of certain antibiotics and other useful drugs.

Increased dependency and tolerance basically means you'll need more of the given drug to the the same amount of high, and if you ingest the same amount you have been you won't feel as high, because your body is getting used to/immune to it.Dependence is when you have become addicted to the drug and then have a real physical or psychological need for the drug to function. That is why when you quit you go through withdrawal and it is best not to quit cold turkey if you want to succeed.

Spice, also known as K2, is a newer street drug . It is a synthetic blend of chemically treated, smokable leaves. It gives a marijuana type high. Some people are claiming that it is safer than marijuana, but there were about 1,500 calls to Poison Control about this drug in 2010. Side effects have been reported to be elevated heart rates, seizures, heightened blood pressure and intense feelings of agitation and paranoia. Many states are beginning to pass laws against it.

without a doubt, psychosis can be a result of using not only hallucinogens, but long term usage of almost any drug.

Use of cocaine, amphetamines, cannabis and alcohol seems to be associated with greater risk for psychosis. Severity and duration of use, age at the time of first use and vulnerability to develop psychosis by virtue of familial, possibly genetic and personality factors seem to be the determinants for the development of psychosis.

Nothing anymore. There used to be an addictive inhalant ingredient in Tipp-Ex but it's not used anymore.

god in the lower case noun form is never mentioned in the Basic Text of N.A..

The proper name God is mentioned 315 times. Including 102 times in the programs intro, contents and first one hundred and seven pages. The rest of the times are in the following member shares.

it leads to lung cancer, which may lead to death.

You can try to, but you're wasting the dilaudid. Suboxone covers about 98% of the mu and delta opiate receptors, which doesn't leave much room for other substances.

I got fired due to drug addiction after 16 years, and they told me I lost my pension.

Its only bad for weak minded and / or inexperienced individuals. It can be an awesome, mind opening, powerful trip. Peyote is not my favorite hallucinogen but its worth trying, if you think you can handle it.

By taking too much of what is needed

Yes. It can. Ambien can "show" positive for benzodiazepines (even though it is not, in and of itself, a true benzodiazepine).

It is not a completely simple answer.

Drug abuse effects the chemical balances in the body. When we do drugs, the drug takes the place of a signal naturally created by the body.

Our bodies produce the chemical dopamine naturally at a pretty small level.

When we us drugs, the DRUG tells the body to pump up dopamine production.

This is the "feel good" or "reward" chemical in the brain.

So when "use" turns into "abuse" the body completely IGNORES the natural signals for production of dopamine and many other chemicals.

Motivation is connected to dopamine, as the body rewards you getting off you butt and doing something with pride in a job well done.

That "job well done" chemical reward is not being produced without drugs. AND the amount of the reward naturally is much SMALLER than the drug induced reward.

Therefore your body CAN NOT "reward" motivation.

Withdraw from drugs is the period while your body "RESETS" it's systems to start making the chemicals according to it's own signals.

As mentioned, many more chemicals than dopamine are taken over by different drugs. Opiates retards the bodys ability to produce melatonin and induce sleep.

This is why when there is no opiates, you cant sleep. You have to wait until the body starts making the proper levels of melatonin and serotonin on its own. This withdraw period is the body and brain producing the wrong levels, if any at all, of the chemicals that keep us human.

Sniffing co-codamol actually turns the painkillers into some sort of Viagra which should make the penis on your forehead increasingly hard you vagina 😊

well it depends on who the person is. If the person know that he/she is strong enough to overcome drugs and not go back to it then that person is strong enough to be able to be in a relationship. but if that person is not so sure maybe it's best not to be in a relationship until he/she is very certain

The level of alcohol we exhale closely parrells the concentration of alcohol in our blood stream. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver not the lungs.

Communicate your boundaries clearly with your friends and express your discomfort around drugs. Surround yourself with friends who align with your values and engage in activities that do not involve drug use. It's okay to distance yourself from friends who engage in drug use if it's negatively impacting your wellbeing.

As of today, July24, 2010 Florida is one of the Forty-Four states that have no laws against the possession and/or use of K2. Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Missouri all have some type of law banning K2. Four states - Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey and New York are also considering laws. K2 is an herbal mixture that mimics the effects of marijuana. K2 does not show up on drug tests because it contains no THC as in marijuana.

That person is addicted to said drugs.

It's generic is Flunitrazepam and its a benzodiapine derivative. It's more commonly referred to as a roofie.

No.

The arm is probably red and swollen after shooting up because the body is rejecting the drug that was injected. It could also be an allergic reaction to the drug. Another reason could be that an artery was hit. The only way to know for sure is to seek the advice of a physician.

2 mg Xanax are sometimes called bars. That's what I take it to mean.
