True or false, "Narcotics lead directly to addiction." I wrote that it was false, which was incorrect. This is obviously not true, as you don't become addicted directly after taking one narcotic, right?
yeah, but that's not what the question asks. it says narcotics LEAD directly to addiction, which is a factually correct statement. it says nothing about using narcotics once, the use of the word LEAD indicates some sort of consistent use, as in following something or going down some sort of path. you aren't being led somewhere by taking the drug once or twice, so that circumstance wouldn't logically apply here. going on a more broad level, you could replace narcotics with any addictive substance under the narcotic categorization and it would still be totally factual. opium DOES lead directly to addiction, cocaine DOES lead directly to addiction, morphine DOES lead directly to addiction. all addictive substances do. the addictive properties of many drugs work instantaneously and start the craving during first contact with the substance. if you follow addictive drugs, it WILL lead you to addiction. where the hell else would it lead you?
the sentence is badly-written and slightly ambiguous, and i'm certain this class is painful and mind-numbing, but the information was there if you stopped to actually read it. the fault is on your shoulders.
hate to rely on stupid internet shit for any purpose, but.....
