Addiction is characterized by addiction that a person has a compulsive drug / alcohol addiction despite the side effects. Addiction can also be called a chronic mental illness.
Substance is said to be the substance from which one feels intoxicated and one becomes addicted to it by frequent consumption.
Many types of intoxicants are prevalent in our society such as liquor, whiskey, rum, beer, mahua, handi etc. are socially recognized legal substances. Many illegal substances are also very popular such as cannabis, cannabis, hashish, heroin, brown sugar and cocaine etc.
Drugs prescribed by doctors for sleep or for anxiety or stress are also used as drugs.
Tobacco products like cigarettes, khaini, zarda, gutkha, bidi etc. also come under them. Apart from these, some substances are also seen such as Kapha syrup, Phensedyl or Corex.
The use of volatile solvent (ie, soluble solvent) ie chemical substances that have a similar effect on alcohol inhalation when inhaled, such as petrol, nail polish remover, paints, dry cleaning solution, etc. are also intoxicants.
There can be many reasons for this. But people usually consume them for joy. There is a feeling of joy in their consumption for a short time, self-confidence is felt and the body feels full of energy. Since this effect lasts only for a short time, the person is forced to use them again and again to get such a feeling.
Apart from this, they are also used to relieve various types of mental and physical conditions such as [stress]], anxiety, depression, anger, boredom, insomnia and physical pain.
Many times, people come under pressure from friends and learn from big people and others. Some people also use them for many kinds of supernatural and spiritual experiences, such as saints, ascetics etc.
Since the effects of these intoxicants only last for a short time, people are forced to consume them again and again. Apart from this, after prolonged continuous consumption, the person does not stop consuming them even after wishing, because after stopping them, various types of painful mental and physical symptoms arise which are cured by repeated intake. In this way also the person is constantly forced to consume it and gradually he becomes addicted to it by getting stuck in its clutches.
