Addictive Qualities of Popular Drugs
http://forum.oddthought.com/imagehosting/12146cae2a9d7a11.gif
Withdrawal: Presence and severity of characteristic withdrawal symptoms.
Reinforcement: A measure of the substance's ability, in human and animal tests, to get users to take it again and again, and in preference to other substances.
Tolerance: How much of the substance is needed to satisfy increasing cravings for it, and the level of stable need that is eventually reached.
Dependence: How difficult it is for the user to quit, the relapse rate, the percentage of people who eventually become dependent, the rating users give their own need for the substance and the degree to which the substance will be used in the face of evidence that it causes harm.
Intoxication: Though not usually counted as a measure of addiction in itself, the level of intoxication is associated with addiction and increases the personal and social damage a substance may do.

no.. i think some pot heads call that "wake and bake" get up in the morning and drink some coffee with your bong hits :S or maybe it was an internal explosion you meant. because that would explain a lot about a couple of people i know :hehe:

You can die from alcohol withdrawls. Don't think you can die of heroin withdrawls. Sure f-ing hurts a lot though...you'll feel like your dying. :S If you go to jail as an alcoholic they put you in medical...as a heroin addict they just let you ride it out.
