What is the most addictive substance?

Amphetamines in general.

Whether it's Methamphetamine, dextroamphetamine, or mixed amphetamine salts.

I find cannabis & cocaine pretty addictive as well but not nearly as much.
 
It definitely creates an alter ego as you tend to swift moods and it's definitely an underestimated psychologically addiction. Very hard to quit. I suppose it screws one's metabolism when you come off.

Opiates have always been the worst IMO/E. Specially the ones long acting strong ones.
 
I'm an opiate addict but for about 2 months I smoked crack. I swear no other substance made me want to keep doing it more like crack. I would smoke everything i had until it was gone. At least with heroin and other opiates once you dose and get high you can sit back and just enjoy it for a while. It didn't matter if I just got a 20$ rock or a whole gram of crack there was no saving some for tomorrow, I could never stop myself from using all of it. Eventually I lost my crack connection and just started using heroin all the time again but if that didn't happen I'm sure I'd still be smoking crack.
 
Ohhhh I've fucked around with lab grade MDMA, 2cb, dextroamphetamine, imported speed, Xanax, Valium, and by far the only substance that I have ever been "addicted" (please note my definition of addicted is quitting multiple times and relapsing multiple times) is the devils lettuce itself, cannabis. I think that the stigma around cannabis of it being "non addictive" is why there's so much potential for abuse. I ran cross country and track in high school and was doing 4:28 miles, cannabis ruined my hard work and potential. Weed was the first drug I tried and I hallucinated balls and ever since that day I was trying to chase that feeling. I didn't use it as much as most but after quitting multiple times and going back on it I realized what addiction was,a constant battle with yourself. In all honesty I don't give a fuck if I get lit as shit off an edible but smoking in my eyes is the worst thing I or anyone could be doing to themselves. I'm really glad I quit that shit and since then I've helped several of my friends quit. I thank god every day that I haven't fucked around with anything else on that level.

when you say addicted, do you mean you experienced physical symptoms when you stopped smoking? just curious- by no means am i trying to infer you weren't experiencing true addiction. i've been smoking for over a decade daily, and i've heard other people say the same thing; but i myself have never felt like i was withdrawing from it when i stopped so i'm interested in more details.
 
im still trying to figure that out. i dont think any drug is necessarily more addictive than the next tbh, although nicotine seems to create a lot of addict-type behaviour in me, as well as opiates.
 
Then life is never the way it used to be. Sometimes I feel like somehow we cheated life and and got a shortcut for something we'd need earn to feel. That great awesome feeling we had once will haunt us forever.

QFT

I know I could attain things that would take years maybe decades of work on my part, and I know it wouldn't be as satisfying than if presented with a buffet of methadone,xanax and whisky.
Kinda feel like I've done and seen and lived through everything and am so sick and tired of it, definitely ready to take this shit to the next dimension.

That's how it is for me, so I wound up quitting using cannabis/hash, and then I quit drinking alcohol.

It's a toss up between opiates, alcohol, and powder cocaine for the most addictive drug I have used. Pharmaceutical amphetamines coming in second place, and cannabis/hash in 3rd place. When I was at the height of my alcohol addiction/nightly abuse I slowly cut back on the alcohol, and switched to smoking herb daily instead thinking that this was better and smoked it daily for a month, had a huge tolerance, and basically if it was around I would smoke it and keep smoking it every night until it was gone.

I don't recommend that anyone who is an alcoholic or addicted to other drugs do what I did as it just wound up being a substitute drug/substitute addiction for me. I also should have told a doctor, or family member I was doing this but did not and this too was a mistake.

I was never physically addicted to any of them but I did or have had cravings for all of them, and the powder C I only used once and enjoyed it way too much so I decided wisely to never use it again. I'm grateful daily that I never decided to ever try heroin, stronger opiates besides oxy, hydrocodone, and codeine or taking them in large doses, that I never had a good source for benzos or a doctor that prescribed them to me, and that I never had a desire to use crystal meth, or MDMA/MDA.

Now I don't use any drugs at all and have not used certain ones for almost half a decade, and for the ones like pharmaceutical opiates and amphetamines, it's been well over a decade since I used any; but I still do randomly get cravings for them. I quit everything on my own in steps, and I never went to NA/AA since when I was drinking daily, at the time I did not want to fully quit and just cut back to binge drinking on weekends and I still smoked herb then, so I never went to any NA/AA meetings as it seemed rather hypocritical and pointless to me to try to go to them when I knew I was not going to get completely sober then.

When I was a teenager I smoked cigars and cigarettes socially and tried smoking cigarettes daily for a little over two weeks while on vacation, and I did quit after that. I did wind up smoking one or two cigarettes or cigars in the years that followed but never started smoking tobacco again which I'm happy about.

Stay safe everyone.

Wise decision not to use Coke again after experiencing its 'power'. It could have been devastating before getting back to okay, if that's possible. I realize weed can be a good distraction but it often makes some people trip and with time it's could be difficult to work and realate do the daily routine tasks we all have. That is a quite different response from people to people. I trust you have made a good choice if we talk about what's less harmful and most importantly- you sound healthy and okay with yourself. :)
 
all that said, after having used weed, xtc, cocaine, and heroin daily (not altogether- separate time periods in my life), heroin was by far the hardest to kick. i haven't experienced anything that has withdrawal symptoms quite as brutal as that. it's 3 or 4 days of straight up hell- restless legs, anxiety, insomnia. wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy.
 
Absolutely. Besides, There are even worst opiates. The long acting ones and those that are stronger than heroin.
 
I feel like Heroin and Opiates in general have a much sneakier way of working themselves into your life. Sure, Opioids get you high and make you feel awesome, but compared to something like IV or vaporized Cocaine, the feeling is subtle in my opinion. I'm constantly thinking "I wanna do a shot before jamming"/"I think a shot before this date would relax me"/"Work is so boring when I'm not high"... whereas something like Crack cocaine, you don't have a chance in hell at doing anything remotely normal while your under the influence. All you can do is smoke more Crack.

If I were to be smoking Crack and trying to say, play my guitar, I'd either be stopping constantly to take a hit, or not playing well because I can't stop thinking about the next hit. It's just a little bit too intense. This is why I consider Opioid dependence as more of a lifestyle. You try to work in other things around your use and sometimes you succeed, but I feel like choice in any way shape or form goes out the window with Crack.
 
Crack definitely makes you incapable of doing anything else other than wanting to smoke more and more and one is never really satisfied. No matter how much a person may have. Some people go on and on for 24 hours nonstop and that can be easily turned into days in a roll smoking, and an addict will make his life goal to keep smoking because it's somehow insaciable. Enough will never be enough. And you'll do anything to get some more.

You'll look in trash cans, literally spend hours looking if there is something left on the floor, closets, pockets etc. In that sense I'm sure this is much more addictive than any other drug that could be used while you do other activities. I think it depends a lot on how we choose things. Some people can't live with the craving from Crack Cocaine, they'll try to end their lives and fall asleep thinking and remembering the sound, the smell and the feelings of those quick rushes.

For some others, once you quit for a certain amount of time you just learn that you can't do that. And you can understand the reasons. An analogy to that would be drinking icy crystal salty water when you are thirsty. You'll kill the thirst for a moment just to desperately be more thirsty later. You are looking for the immediate satisfaction. By understanding that some people stop. But if you have gone too far that's more difficult.

One the other hand, when you live your life under the influence of opiates, benzos and do everything better, and knowing that stopping involves a complicated a long psychologically and physical withdrawal, addiction can also be overwhelming. You'll be tempted to relapse as well. The connection with the drug is related to warmth comfortable feelings and ideas of better life regardless of the consequences. It's a matter of perspective, choices and because we are all so different.

This is an interesting thread. I have seen a lot of people getting sober from all types of drugs, including heroin, amphetamines etc. But they can't stop smoking cigarettes. Almost everyone smokes in these AA/NA meetings.
