You start with curiosity and experiment.. These are the stages of drug addiction

The Health Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council has identified the stages that lead to drug addiction, warning of vulnerability to curiosity, which eventually leads to addiction.

The council stated that the first stage is the endurance stage, during which the person continues to use the drug, forcing him to increase the dose until he reaches the same previous effect.

He added that the abuser then reaches the stage of dependence, which is the state in which the body begins to depend on the substance, which causes intense desire and withdrawal symptoms to return to using it in excessive doses to relieve the symptoms, as he may not be able to practice his life except under its influence.

He pointed out that the last stage is the stage of addiction, which is a pathological condition in which a person is exposed to an urgent desire to use drugs, and it is defined as compulsive behavior that is significantly out of control, pointing out that entering a stage inevitably means reaching the next stage.
