You'll get hooked on anything after one time if you decide you like it and want to do it some more.

I've always heard heroine is addictive after the first taste.

I don't believe there is anything that builds physical addiction the first time you use it.
If you like the effects and decide to do it again, you may have already started the psychological addiction, and put yourself on the path to physical addiction. |

I have never used any illegal drug in my life. I have been telling my children to never try these types of drugs,as one can get hooked the first time. Is there any truth to what I told them? Both drugs dissolve straight across the nasal mucosa. They also bond with receptor sights already in the brain, dopamine receptors. Meth is far more dangerous than cocaine. But both are exceedingly addictive. One time usage could easily lead to addiction. People that say they are not know nothing of brain chemistry. I studied addiction in college as part of my psychology major and biology concentration. |

OP you thinking of trying them?
what i dont get is how people enjoy dipping/chewing tobacco the first time you try it, it almost always results in getting very sick.. why would someone try it again if that happened? |

Addiction takes time. Physically speaking I'm pretty sure the answer is no, you can't get addicted in one use, unless you characterize a hangover as addiction, which it isn't.
Unfortunately hard drugs are so pleasurable and diminish peoples ability to exercise good judgement to such a degree that experimentation is extremely dangerous, you like it too much to maintain moderation. I think meth is far worse in that regard than coke, coke was used (often in less refined states) for centuries before it was criminalized, for all sorts of medicinal and recreational purposes... and from the writings of people from that period it seems to me it wasn't all that harmful or aggressively addictive. Meth is a completely different animal IMO, a far more aggressive and destructive drug that only exists because it's easier/cheaper to make/get ahold of than coke. |

It IS possible, but not everyone will. As some have posted, some drug users can walk away from it no problem, while others have to struggle day in and out to stay away from the stuff.
It is all about your mental and physical makeup...no two people are exactly alike. |

No. One time is not enough to create a physical dependency, or even a psychological dependency.
That said, it's OK to lie to your kids to get them to keep from doing certain things, especially drugs. |

One use? No, You can acquire a taste for it and decide to do it alot. But it takes many uses to gain an actual addiction to it.
Even Heroin takes many uses to get a physical addiction. People that claim a first time use causing an addiction to anything are mistaking desire for the drug for addiction for a drug. |

You are misinforming your children. The lies that people have been told about drugs are a big reason people still get addicted to shit like meth. When you hear the nonsense spouted off about wed or coke, then find out it is all BS, why believe people about harder drugs. Casual use of coke without any addiction is not only possible, it is extremely common.
I don't know if meth is an immediate addiction drug, I doubt it since the vast majority of the stuff we are told about drugs is bullshit. Coke definitely isn't. I used to hang out with a lot of people who used coke. I only know one person who screwed up their life from it and he was a classic addictive personality. He was "addicted" to everything from weed and coke to gambling, caffeine, and porn. |

I was addicted to cocaine for about a year a long time ago. While you can't get addicted from trying it you certainly feel good and are likely to try it again since you don't feel addicted. A little time goes by before you realize you are in fact addicted to it.
Tried meth once and I could see that drug snagging you up from day one. It scared teh shit out of me how bad I wanted more when it wore off so I never touched the stuff again. I have been drug free for years so no lectures on my past please. |

I knew a lot of sheltered kids growing up (private schools) who went completely off the deep end when they realized they'd been lied to about many things and then questioned ALL the guidance they'd gotten from the sources of those lies. No better way to destroy what influence you're going to have with a teenager than to lie to them, and lumping all drugs together "reefer madness" style is one of the ways parents often create a "gateway" effect when it wouldn't otherwise exist.. |

Lying to your kids is never appropriate. ALL solid relationships are built on trust. Once you have shown yourself untrustworthy in one area, ALL other areas are suspect.
Kids learn by example, lie to them, they'll lie to you. |

Quoted: I had a buddy that tried crack. He never did it again. It took him 20 years to kick cigarettes. Buddy of mine did the same thing. (minus the cigarettes). Said he really, really enjoyed it and it was mentally pretty tough to not take another hit, but managed to make it a one time deal. I have never tried coke, meth or heroin so I have no personal experience with them. Have lost quite a few friends over the years to addiction (mostly meth) so I would imagine it can take hold of people, especially addictive personality types with one use. Personally, I think cigarettes are the most addictive out of all of em. I don't do drugs, have gone long periods of time without drinking and have even gone without caffeine for years. Cigarettes on the other hand. |
