REASONS FOR YOUR RATING OF DEGREE OF ADDICTIVENESS & WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS : Write 3-4 sentences in your own words to explain your reasoning for your rating. Cocaine comes in many different forms, all with different levels of addictiveness. I chose level 2 because most of these forms cause painful side effects, but they do not immediately kill people. Although these side effects are awful, with repeated use, tolerance to the effects of cocaine can develop. Regular cocaine users can also develop psychological dependence which is characterized by intense cravings for the drug even when the user knows there are significant consequences.
