    • Tolerance is the need for larger doses to achieve the desired effect, while addiction is the compulsive craving of drugs or certain behaviors despite known harmful consequences, and withdrawal is the discomfort and distress that follow discontinuing an addictive drug or behavior.
    • Those with a substance use disorder may exhibit impaired control, social disruption, risky behavior, and the physical effects of tolerance and withdrawal.
    • Psychoactive drugs alter perceptions and moods, and may produce tolerance and withdrawal, leading to addiction, which is the compulsive craving of drugs or certain behaviors despite known adverse consequences.
    • Depressants such as alcohol, barbiturates, and opiates calm neural activity and slow body functions, disrupt memory, reduce self-awareness and self-control, and produce myopia by focusing on arousing situations at the expense of normal inhibitions and future consequences.
    • Stimulant drugs such as caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines, cocaine, Ecstasy, and methamphetamine excite neural activity and speed up body functions, often involve an increase in energy and self-confidence, and may produce acute craving and withdrawal symptoms contributing to relapse.
    • Hallucinogens distort perceptions and call up sensory images without any input from the senses, and may produce a visual “trip” with risk of panic, and marijuana may impair learning and memory and increase the risk of psychological disorders and lung damage from smoke.
