Tolerance refers to the condition of needing more of the drug to achieve the original effect reached when one was a naive user.

Addiction refers to a complex of physical and psychological conditions and circumstances best summed up with the phrase, "drugs cause repeated and worsening problems in your life, but you continue to use them anyway."

Increased tolerance is one of the most noticeable signs of a developing addiction.
