How addictive are amphetamines after just one use? Is it more addictive than cocaine?

Nerudao asked:


I am supposed to be a part of a psychiatric study that involves 2 PET Scans and an MRI. Prior to one of these scans, I will be injected with a small dose of amphetamines. I am worried that I will become addicted. I do not have a history of drug addiction and my family does not have a history of addiction. Should I pull out of the study?

I’d pull out of the study and I’ll tell you why. I don’t know of anyone who was an addict who woke up one day and said, “I think I’ll be an addict today.” Addiction always starts with one drug taken one time and then rationalizing that maybe another time can’t hurt. But mainly I tell you for this reason. I have heard Amphetamine addicts say that they were addicted on the very first try. That’s right, the FIRST TRY. It’s up to you, but I’d pull out.

Depends on your genes. Addiction is a gene thing, that is why some of us become addicted to alcohol for example and some of us don’t. Same goes for pills or drugs. If you have any reason that you may have an addictive nature, think about yourself and some habits you may have, then pullout. Unless your getting some benefit from this study, then why do it.
