Drugs and Consciousness
Psychoactive Drug: A chemical substance that alters perceptions and mood (effects
consciousness).
![Page 7: Altered States of Consciousness Hypnosis and Drugs](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062519/5697c0271a28abf838cd660d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Dependence & Addiction
Continued use of a psychoactive drug
produces tolerance. With repeated
exposure to a drug, the drug’s effect lessens. Thus it takes greater
quantities to get the desired effect.

Withdrawal & Dependence
1. Withdrawal: Upon stopping use of a drug (after addiction), users may experience the undesirable effects of withdrawal.
2. Dependence: Absence of a drug may lead to a feeling of physical pain, intense cravings (physical dependence), and negative emotions (psychological dependence).

Misconceptions about Addiction
1. Addictive drugs quickly corrupt.
2. Addiction cannot be overcome voluntarily.
3. Addiction is no different than repetitive pleasure-seeking behaviors.
Addiction is a craving for a chemical substance, despite its adverse
consequences (physical & psychological).
