Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tolerance is a phenomenon where a person needs a gradual increase in the amount of a psychoactive drug to produce the desired effect. This happens due to the brain's ability to adapt to the continued presence of the drug, leading to a decrease in the drug's effectiveness over time. The drug rebound effect refers to the heightened effects of a drug after its discontinuation, dissociation is a state of altered consciousness, and hypermnesia is an increase in memory recall.
