4. When a drug wears off, the person wants more.

When any drug wears off, the pain or other feeling that went away comes back harder than before.

If someone had a problem that made him want to take drugs... let's say he is "too nervous" to talk to anyone at a party...

He might take a drug to help him relax.

When the drug wears off, the feeling of nervousness is worse than before... and he wants MORE of the drug to calm himself.



 


This person's problem talking to people won't go away until he does something about his shyness and finds out he CAN talk to people, with or without drugs.

"Drug education has a vital task in countering this, but it will only succeed if it has the goal of abstinence - rather than leaving choices about illegal activities to young people."
