Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As Dan repeatedly uses the addictive, euphoria-producing drug, he will develop a tolerance to it, which means that he will require a higher dosage to achieve the same effect. This is likely to lead to an increase in the dosage needed to produce the desired effect. Option A is incorrect as tolerance will result in Dan needing more of the drug to achieve the same effect, not an increase in the pleasurable experience. Option C is incorrect as after each use, Dan may feel a decrease in the elation he previously experienced. Option D is incorrect as repeated use of the drug increases the likelihood of dependence, not decreases it.
