What is additive drug?

Drug "addition" or addiction? If you do mean drug addiction, different people have different opinions regarding what constitutes actual drug addiction ( as opposed to use). There is also no universally accepted, set in stone definition of "drug addiction"(by the drug treatment and/or mental health profession, or professionsals with credible expertise in the field). There is only the best-answer- available, or that can be provided so far. You can look it up via the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), and other souces. Do know, though, that phyisiological addiction does not necessarily equal actual addiction or abuse. There is a time component and harm component both to be considered when assessing whether someone has an addiction to drugs. Abuse is also not necessarily an addiction, unless it becomes chronic (longer term). This question is HUGELY debated, and is a very important question. A good book with actual, unbiased facts regarding addiction and drugs is "Buzzed".
