@ Adij76 I do not think it necessarily mean that tolerance and withdrawal lead to addiction, he said that tolerance and withdrawal are key elements of addiction, which means they are often associated with addiction.

I like the overall level of knowledge shared by this video. However, the idea that tolerance and withdrawal are the factors leading to addiction is quite a few obsolète.Il neurological changes related to repeated use of drugs that have little to do with tolerance or withdrawal and may yet to lead to addiction.

Overall, I like the level of knowledge in this video, but the concept that tolerance and withdrawal are the two important things in the outhouse is a little old. Even many drugs with relatively mild withdrawal symptoms (like many stimulants) may cause some serious addiction. We now know that completely out of tolerance, there are serious neurological changes that occur in the brain with repeated use of drugs that may lead to dependence.
