It seems that heroine is probably the worse drug to get hooked on. Can you tell me whether a per son can become addicted with just one shot of heroine? —C. A. Perry. Answer: Physically, no. But if you felt pleased wUh the result of “shooting” or enjoyed the eupho ria, yes, because addiction will occur with about the third mainline. In other words as soon as the tolerance begins to develop to the drug, addiction has already begun. When tolerance begins the per son using hero i now cannot elicit euphoric respon ses, he can n w only use the heroin to subside the pain and ar ,ny of withdrawal. Addiction has been theorized to occur at a cellular level, and withdraw al pain will be experienced in each and every cell of a persons body. When the tolerance is initiated the drug has become a part of the normal body as food is a part, and the body cannot function without the drug. the 500,000 to 750.000 people in the Middle Georgia area see this program and the spots a bout Perry, that everyone watching is going to know that Perry is a good place to live and make a living,” Winkis slated.
