🧵 Would forcibly being injected with a drug result in you becoming addicted to it?

I was watching a show where the bad guy was injecting drugs (I think it was heroin) into a lady to try to get information/just being evil. Later she is rescued and is fine, but I was wondering what would actually happen, it's like biological right, but it wasn't administered in a very pleasant way.

No. Psychological addiction to opioids requires prior exposure to heavy amounts of cannabis and alcohol.
Physiological addiction will still occur and it's really just feeling le flu flu and achy for a couple weeks.
The elephant in the room is that people aren't equal. Inferior people with low IQs predisposed to hedonism, early life masturbation, early life obesity, recreational sex hookups, partying, getting drunk, smoking weed and tattooing their bodies are not a relevant population as to the effects of drugs and misattribute the harm of opiates, and use them as a scapegoat for their personal failures which other people are happy to lap up as factual by fallaciously equating it as true since high doses are fatal which to a midwit is sufficient be all end all argument (another example, the vaccine).

Well we have two things people call addiction:
Psychological addiction, where people crave a drug or its effects,
And physical dependence AKA physical addiction, where a drug has an effect on the body that creates a dependence and potentially very dangerous withdrawal symptoms if the body stops getting that drug.
These terms are often conflated and confused with one another. Part of this is because many drugs cause both. For example, Heroin has a high risk of causing both. Heroin’s pleasurable effects cause some people to crave it, which makes it hard to stop using it, but it also causes physical withdrawal symptoms on top of that. If you suddenly quit heroin or similar opioids you can start vomiting, experience severe muscle cramps, have diarrhea, and experience many other adverse effects. Because physical dependance is often associated with addiction people assume that you can just tough it out, but this can be a bad idea. In the case of alcohol withdrawal, the symptoms can actually kill you.
There’s actually a fairly common example of people developing a dependance to drugs they don’t want to be: anti-psychotics. Anti-psychotics are generally not pleasurable to take. Nobody is buying haldol illegally to shoot it up at a party. These medications have severe negative side effects. However, many people with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia are forced or coerced into taking these medications and they still develop a physical dependance. They never wanted to go on the drug, they are not experiencing pleasure from it, but they still experience withdrawals when they try to quit because the drug created a physical effect on their body. This is one reason why some activists want to ban forced medication on people experiencing psychosis.
So yes, it is very possible for a drug to create a physical “addiction” on someone who was forced to take it, though I don’t know if that would happen in your particular example.

High IQ people can do Selank/Semax/Simmilar stuff with purpose of getting better after quiting alcohol, they ware prior to alcoholism episode, and therefore they can enjoy their addiction free fentanyl fumes.

watch 'The French Connection' with Gene Hackman
addiction is not a moral question, it is definitely a real biological thing, such as heroin or alcohol
some things arent physical addiction, but rather psychological or habitual, such as cannabis smoking.
(however, most people that say they are alcoholics are actually not physically addicted but mentally reliant on alcohol to self medicate)

The truth is we don't have much data about it.
The fact it hasn't been used even by regimes suggests it's not so effective at least compared to good old fashioned torture.

Buy a pair of pruning shears and an average 0.1 gram dose of heroin. Split the heroin into 0.02g fifths. At 15-minute intervals, inject one split of heroin into your non-dominant hand and cut off one finger of the same hand. Record how you feel.
