The assessment of which drugs are more addictive is not an easy task, even for scientists. Everyone reacts differently to drugs.
Nicotine is a potent parasympathomimetic stimulant and an alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants.
A barbiturate is a drug that acts as a central nervous system depressant, and can therefore produce a wide spectrum of effects, from mild sedation to total anesthesia. They are also effective as anxiolytics, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants. Barbiturates have addiction potential, both physical and psychological.
Cocaine, also known as coke, is a strong stimulant mostly used as a recreational drug. In a few seconds, cocaine floods the brain, improving the mood. The coke is a psychoactive substance that acts on our nervous system.
Alcohol affects the brain in various ways. It turns out that he can increase the level of dopamine in the reward center from 40 to 360 percent. Only in 2012, as many as 3 million people died as a result of alcohol consumption.
Heroin is a highly addictive substance. Heroin addiction is called heroinism. Even the first dose can lead to the emergence of mental addiction, i.e. an unmanageable desire to re-use, in predisposed individuals. The psychological dependence intensifies with the use of successive doses of heroin, and the physiological addiction is also quickly generated in the body.
