Drugs will affect the human brain and body depending on the different drug type and source such as stimulants, psychedelics, opioids, cannabinoids, etc. Drugs affect the way neurons and neurotransmitters work in the brain causing artificial heightening of experiences that are not naturally sustainable or supported; thus, the unrequited addiction.
Humans have also become addicted to Overeating, Cellphone usage and Video Gaming, each of these also having specific characteristics that induce addiction.
What is the common factor for all addictions?
YOU, the person addicted or becoming addicted, are in a bad human condition. When you first tried these stimulants, you were in a bad human condition. Had you not been in a bad human condition, none of these precursors of addiction would have had any effects on you whatsoever.
Why do walking in the park, playing outdoors, going to the beach, reading a book, etc., don’t create addiction? Why do normal life activities don’t create addiction?
These activities are not artificial inner stimulants. These activities require only of a healthy human being in a healthy human condition to perform them.
Addiction only means, that you are not physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy.
