RE: Drug Abuse and Addiction | The Physiology of an Addicted Brain; Tolerance and Dependence

Hi, @okunlolayk. I would like to point out a few things:

  • First of all, I realised that you were using many definitions which are taken from various websites. It is not wrong per se but you should embed source links back to its original site.

  • I have found similarities with some sentences in your article:

In your article:

The younger addicts use the drug as a means of stimulation while the older ones use it to blunt or kill pain, stress and trials for a competitive living.

From a book entitled "Liberation From Life's Shadow"

Younger addicts use the intoxication primarily as a means of stimulation while older individuals use it to blunt the pain, trials and stresses of competitive living, and to relieve a sense of personal failure and frustration.

It's worth noting that, deleting a few words and then jumble some words up is still considered plagiarising. If this is intended, it is a serious offence in this community. There are others and I would like to remind you to use the reference as a reference only. Write it in your own words.

  • The source for your 4th image seems misleading. You wrote Wikimedia, but it directs me to NIDA.
