Drug is a chemical compound which, when taken into the body, changes the body's metabolism.
But obviously not everyone who takes drugs is an addict. That addiction is not an inherent characteristic of drugs or people, but of person's response to a particular type of experience. The main problem with most past and continuing research on addiction, is that it locates the source of addiction in the wrong place. Initially, taking the drug is pleasant experience, giving one the feeling of being relieved from anxiety, when in actual fact those things in life which cause anxiety grow more server. Drugs lessen the person's ability to cope with life's difficulties.
