different effects on people and
these effects are influenced by
many factors. This makes them
unpredictable and dangerous,
especially for young people.

requiring more opioids to
achieve the same effect
which can cause a lethal
overdose

tolerance build, larger
quantities of stimulants
are taken to compensate
