  Completely depends on which drug and the quantity it’s taken in.

    Also the personality and self-control of the person taking it. Like are they the type to say, “no thanks, I only do coke on special occasions” or the type to say “wow, that line felt amazing, I’d like to feel that way all the time!” Because that can throw out all former plans regarding quantity.

      I would argue it also applies to alcohol if I was arguing, which I am not.

      The addictiveness of a drug is actually a quantifiable metric. In the early 20th century, scientists exposed hundreds of drug naive individuals to different psychoactive compounds. Although there are individual differences, something like half of the people exposed to intravenous heroin and morphine would actively seek out the next hit.
