SWIM did a gram of speed about 8 months ago. Everything went fine, no bad reactions, and hasn't done any since. Now he wants to try it again, what are the chances of addiction taking place? This might be a stupid question, but arsed getting hooked.

If you have the money, it dosn't really matter if you get addicted. But I would say do it and keep it for special occasions.

Uh did you get addicted 8 months ago No So you should be safe.

Addiction is a series of choices. Just pay attention to your use and you should be alright. Unless you just have really poor impulse control.

Addiction is not based around dosage/frequency of said drug. Of course those two things play a part in it, but it's not like there's some magical number to be consumed in a time frame that draws the line between user and addict.

Just like you hear about those people who turn into fiends off their first line of blow or bag of dope. Yeah, it does, and CAN happen, but in situations like that I guarantee you they had some other shit going on under the surface psychologically.

You obviously didn't wig out and empty your bank account into the dealer's hands with your first gram eight months ago, so unless you've had some serious shit go down with your mentality since then, I doubt doing it again is going to lead you to skid-row status.

Sound advice guys, cheers *thumbs up*

Special occasions it is.

I agree with this.

All the people who I've seen addicted to some kind of substance usually don't weigh consequences very well (or at all). They simply pop a pill, snort a line, they don't give a fuck what the outcome will be because self-gratification overrides all other priorities. If they seem self-conscious about their addiction, I guess it's just the guilt that makes them talk shit.

Protip: Don't ask BLTC about addiction. This is a forum for druggies and junkies god damnit!

Haha, true, but if they can pay phone bills & haven't sold their computers, they can't be THAT addicted eh lol.

Anyway, they're likely to have some good advice, even if it has to be taken with a grain of salt.
