A recent study shows that e-cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular among young people in Germany, with even elementary school kids picking up vapes. Health experts are alarmed.
All drugs work this way.
Medicinal and psychoactive. Even poisons/toxins.
Any chemical that changes the body’s base functioning.
Some drugs build tolerance and subsequently dependence, faster than others.
Especially drugs that provide euphoric and energy effects (increases and decreases). What some people call narcotics. Even though that isn’t really a drug effect category , only a legal one.
Even taking a drug to reduce cholesterol will technically cause it to increase overtime.
It’s why people have to get their medication doses adjusted all the time. It’s why stopping prescription drugs cold turkey for things like blood pressure or diabetes can have very serious risk. (Depending on the dose and how long the person had been taking it.)
But again. Not all drugs build tolerance at the same speed.
And prescription drug dosage is designed to reduce tolerance while still delivering health effects.
(Well, most are. Many opioid companies appear to have intentionally and knowingly made high dose drugs with euphoric effects to increase dependence. There are opioid drug formulas that don’t have as strong euphoria effects but they chose to sell the ones that do, knowing full well it increases dependence). -thats another conversation
That’s not the case with recreational use. As people tend to use high doses that also increase the speed of tolerance building.
The modern thc business of gummies, vapes, candy, and such follow the tobacco industry leads and have massive quantities of THC in their products. This is intentional. To get people addicted by fast tracking body tolerance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_withdrawal
Withdrawal and tolerance are both a product of the same mechanism in the body.
All types of drug chemicals cause this mechanism in the body. It’s part of how body homeostasis works. There is no drug that is exempt from it.
