tolerance?

ok, can anyone (brainiacs will do) give me some insight on how tolerance develops with different drugs?

I understand E works by releasing seritonin (spelling) and u run out eventually from doing it too ofter but I have no idea how heroin and amphetamines affect the body to make it accept more.

Any ideas??
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    They all work in pretty much the same way, u build up the tolerance when u take tghe drug.
    Ur body gets used to having it in it.

    Drugs always stay in ur system for a while so ur body's getting used to them being in their.

    something i was reading the other day said there were claims that the enviroment your in contributes to drug tolerance.. if you do the same drug in the same place (like a club) all the time, the effects will be less.. if you change the place you do drugs, say, like at home they are supposed to be more effective.. these people term it as 'learned tolerance'.. they also say that this could have something to do with an overdose. when someone does the same amount but in, say, an unfamiliar place..
    i rekon its sorta true i spose..

    I've not lost my mind it's inserted elsewhere - hence the limp.

    This is very interesting, it makes me wonder if the process for this is the same as that which causes a "contact high". Has anyone here ever had a contact high?

    I had a life once, but I stopped feeding it so one day it just walked away.

    Yeah well I've definitely heard that that's true for heroin. Dunno 'bout other drugs.

    Also- maybe I'm weird but sometimes when I'm going out, and waiting in line at a club or even listening to music I'll get what I can only describe as a flashback. I totally feel like I'm coming up even when I haven't taken anything. Weird hey? Might be something to do with what you're talking about.
