Understanding Drug-taking Behavior 1chapter After you havecompleted this chapter, you should have an understanding of ● Basic terminology con- cerning drugs and drug- taking behavior ● The ways drugs enter and exit the body ● Factors determining the physiological impact of drugs ● The distinction between physical and psychological dependence ● The psychiatric definitions of substance abuse and substance dependence ● The five-schedule classifica- tion of controlled substances in the United States Mike was seventeen, a high school junior—an age when life can be both terrific and terrifying. He looked at me with amazement, telling me by his expression that either the question I was asking him was ridiculous or the answer was obvious. “Why do kids do drugs?” I had asked. “It’s cool,” he said. “That’s why. Believe me, it’s impor- tant to be cool. Besides, in my life, drugs just make me feel better. Smoking a little weed, mellowing out with some Perks or a little Vicodin, spinning with some Addies—it’s a way of getting away from ‘stuff.’ And you know that every- body does it.

It is also difficult to avoid the reality of drugs in our personal lives. Seven out of ten adults surveyed in the United States describe the nation’s drug problem as either extremely or very serious; one out of four Ameri- cans report that drugs have been a cause of trouble in their family. In school, you have been taught the risks involved in drug use, but it is likely that you have had to contend with the social pressure to engage in some form of drug-related activity with your friends.
