>>highly addictive, and life-threatening if overconsumed
You mean like caffeine or nicotine?
- unethical_ban 10y agoNo. 1) Addictive as in, one "normal" dose causes high physical addiction. 2) Lethal, more specifically that it is easy to overdose, or that the difference between "normal" and LD50 is low. You don't get hooked on caffeine after one coke, and it's hard to kill yourself drinking too much coffee.
- scottmf 10y agoWhich drugs cause "high physical addiction" with one dose?
- Broken_Hippo 10y agoIt is pretty rare for anyone to get addicted to a drug after one dose. Even for things like heroin. I think I've read that at most, there is a 25% chance of addiction. Still high, but still below the thresh hold. But admittedly, it is rather hard to sort out fact from propaganda here. (and heroin does have that second one, I'm guessing).
- eutectic 10y agoLittle known fact: pure nicotine is hardly addictive. The Mono-amine oxidase inhibitors in tobacco really ramp up its addictive potential.
