The four principal factors affecting how a drug user experiences a drug include pharmacological, cultural, social and contextual factors?

TRUE.

There are 4 main factors that affect how a drug user experiences drug use, such as: pharmacological, social, cultural and contextual. The Pharmacological factor takes into account how a particular drug affects the body, making it impossible for us to discuss drug dependence briefly due to the great number of substances. Social factors take into account the reasons (such as peer group alliances, family upbringing, subcultures and communities) that lead a person to substance abuse. Cultural factors also determine drug dependence by custom or tradition. And, the contextual factor is about how drug use behavior develops according to the environment where the drug is taken.
