    Psychologically, addictive personality is the main factor in most bad habits such as drugs, gambling and inappropriate sexual behavior.

    Socially, there are factors such as peer pressure, learned behavior, and social class behavior issues.

    Of course there are chemical dependency issues that involve long term use of prescription narcotics.

    There are many other factors that can be applied to drug abuse and thay can be researched at http://www.apa.com

    Just clarifying in advance that it’s about ABUSE, not USE

    Reluctance to associate with non-users

    Disdain for non-users

    Paranoia

    Lack of morals

    Scheming

    Fixation
