What is the most addictive substance?

Hands down IV Hydromorphone/Dilaudid. 10-20 seconds after completing an injection, you feel the rush coming up through your legs, then into your chest. When it hits your head it's like getting hit in the face with a sledgehammer made of opiates weilded by the terminator. Even good heroin pales in comparison IMO.
 
Nicotine is the dark horse for me,
I have the will power to take a break from benzos, which sometimes I go down the road of abusing.
I have the same will power for mild opiates, which always make me feel warm and fuzzy on a bad day. (only ever do mild, purely don't have the access to hard stuff, certainly adds to my able-ness, to say enough is enough for a few weeks/months).

Though I don't do coke or MDMA enough or have the access to really gain the momentum of constant use to get any real form of addiction. Maybe one day I'll unfortunately find out about that one. Sometimes these things can't be helped, before you know it your knee deep in shit.

Weed is a tricky one for me... first week of taking breaks, I crave a joint. Takes me a while to adjust and be able to see the goodness in things, without being high. But with a little sleepless nights and 'arghhhh I want a joint'. I get there.

BUT Nicotine, that is one bitch which constantly rides me. I want to, I need to, but I just can't find the will power to quit. It just fills so many little crevices, I don't feel when I'm trying to quit, I could fill otherwise. I will get there one day, just for now, I'm not in the right head space to do so.

I think some study was done that said Methamphetamine was proven to be the most addictive substance, and I can see that as well.

I saw that too, but meth was the most addictive only when smoked.
Taken orally it was way down near the bottom of the list.

I've been through many drugs in my life, but I have spent more money on cigarettes than all those drugs combined. (and I hate smoking them, but still do)
 
Ciggies for me. Just simply so ingrained in my psyche that stopping sounds impossible. Weed for me is really easy to say no to even though I've been smoking very consistently for years, just because I rarely ever actually crave it.

Alcohol and benzo's seem to be my demon, purely for the fact I don't know how to open up and be myself unless I'm shithoused. Benzos are scary because it can be a subtle lapse in judgement that creeps up on you. And once you get into a either benzo or alcohol addiction it can be a fuckin difficult and scary physical withdrawal, as well as psychological. I can do stims and opiates ocassionally and not worry to much about becoming dependent.
 
I've been physically addicted to opiates before, but MXE is the most addictive drug I've tried. So seductive.

Really? You've come across a study that has documented this?

See, now that's interesting... it's the first time I've ever heard of any legitimate study finding that the same drug has been found to be significantly more addictive when it's taken one way as opposed to another.

I don't doubt it, though, and we've sort of seen this through mere observation, especially with heroin. It doesn't seem to be the case that heroin, when it's taken in the nose or rectally, evokes the same level or seriousness of addiction as when it's slammed nor does addiction seem to occur at the same rate; and that only supports what I've always said and others have found so hard to believe... that there's no real physical attribute or molecular component one can point to and say, "this explains the drug's addictive, habit-forming potential."

It makes sense when you think about it because "the rush" is what many users have described as being the best, most desirable effect and, simply put, that "rush" is greatly reduced whenever a substance like heroin is taken some other way than intravenously.

Meth and coke/crack. Stims in general are really addictive, even the shitty ones like methylphenidate or amphetamine (amphetamine isn't shitty IMO, but it has a few side effects which can be bothersome to most, especially those who are not particularly tolerant of depression and anxiety) are fiendy as hell, making you redose compulsively (more true for methylphenidate than for amphetamine) until you either run out, or realize that you havent gotten high once during your entire binge, but you're in peripheral hell.

Also i'd be an idiot not to mention nicotine and caffeine, the two most used psychoactives in the world as far as i know. i find that coffee in particular is more addictive than other caffeinated drinks, i think there may be some other chemicals we havent found yet that are in coffee, like some other xanthines. nicotine is easy to stop, but once i get going again (usually triggered by amphetamine use, which goes with nicotine like jam and bread), i smoke a lot, and quite regularly, ranging from a 1-1.5 packs daily, sometimes hitting 3 packs in a night if i am drinking or using a stimulant. however, when i stop temporarily, due to lack of funds or health concerns, i find it pretty easy. i get the occasional craving, but nothing too intense at all. i can also cmoke on 1 night and not smoke for a while after. i only start using a lot once i buy a pack.

Not doing this fucking drug anymore thankfully.

good decision. i imagine that it must be difficult living off of a diet of mainly human faces.

IMO meth is more addictive, as you can talk yourself into using again, and again, and again, whereas my first time doing MDPV, my reaction was "this is great, but this has to be incredibly bad for me, so I'm not gonna do this again out of fear for my own life!" with meth, it seems like something you can "control" when you absolutely cannot.

I can sort of understand the motif of smoking or 'chasing' certain substances to be more addictive than taking them other ways than intravenously, like there is a ritual to smoking meth/heroin akin to the ritual of banging the substance.
The drug also hits the brain fast enough to also reinforce the behaviours associated with that feeling - abit like how taking oxycontin orally is actually the way to get the most out of them but railing them hits you like a train dispite having a lower B/A.

I think there is likely a fixation/indigiounous chemical reward (other than meth or heroin ofc) factor to smoking the substances that really really reinforces that same behaviour much like slamming the drug would do, your brain prob thinks " well at least I am not using a needle" as well maybe adding another layer?
 
morphine and heroin and oxy. each is addictive, but there are just little differences when it coes to them. out of the 3 id say heroin is the most addictive, then heroin then meth. and oxy wd imo is way worse than dope.

simple answer as to why smoking is more addictive is that it hits the brain immediately, hitting you faster, therefore being more addictive.
 
For me nicotine. It just grabs a hold of my mind like no other substance. It's just not that intoxicating at the levels and rate of use in most common routes and products.

I'd say any schedule I, II and some III that are not a cannabinoid or psychedelics(excluding dissociatives) and alcohol are pretty much equally addictive.

Addictiveness is subjective. I've seen some who've done meth, heroin, or cocaine casually and have not gotten addicted, yet completely lose control with alcohol. I've seen some take heroin or cocaine but get addicted to meth, and vice-versa. I've seen some take cocaine yet get addicted to PCP, a drug who's addictiveness isn't often acknowledged(I'd say it's up there with meth). Everyone's different.

Yup -- When you inhale a substance, it goes straight to the brain, bypassing all of your body's 'filtering' mechanisms. Every other ROA has to pass through (oral) gastrointestinal -> bloodstream -> brain or (nasal/IV/rectal) blood stream -> brain. Thank you, Drugs and Behavior class. Easiest A everrrr.
