Theory 80/Dissolution

Addiction Is a Relation

The claim

Addiction is better described as a relation between behaviour and environment than as a property of a substance or a person.

01Mechanism

Compulsion depends on availability and alternatives.

02Prediction

Rates should track availability more than pharmacology.

03Refutation

Rates fixed by substance would remove the relation.
