Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conditioned compensatory responses can lead to conditioned tolerance, where the body's anticipation of drug effects triggers physiological countermeasures. This can reduce the drug's impact, potentially lowering the risk of overdose if the drug is taken in a familiar setting. However, it can increase the risk if taken in a new environment where the conditioned response does not occur.
