What Does Drug Cross- Dependence Mean?
Question by sarah: what does drug cross- dependence mean?
Best answer:
Answer by Mathieu
It depends- there are several possible definitions:
1) Cross-dependence (also known as cross-addiction) means that a person is “addicted to everything.” Sometimes in an AA or NA meeting, for example, a person will say “I am (name) and I’m cross-addicted.”
2) Cross-dependency is also a theory in addictionology (not the same as addiction psychiatry or psychology) that a person who addicted to one drug (alcohol for example) can become addicted to any drug if they use it. Another view some take is that (to continue with the example) an alcoholic will not necessarily become addicted to amphetamine but by using another drug of abuse it will eventually lead the person back to their primary addiction, alcohol in this case.

Why Do People Complain About Stop and Frisk? NYC?
Question by Donovan: Why do people complain about stop and frisk? NYC?
I was in my Sociology class and we were talking about stop and frisk and how it racially targets people. In NYC there are a lot of black and latinos and in the city, they are the ones who commit most of the crimes so it would make sense for them to be the ones most likely to be searched. I don’t think it racially targets people, I just think it targets people who look like a thug to be honest. Plus if you don’t have anything on you, then what do you have to worry about? Crime has also gone down. I have heard about a cop planting something on someone but it’s annoying when every criminal tries to use that excuse when they get caught with drugs (with intent to sell).

Is Addiction a Disease?
Question by Craig: Is addiction a disease?
I seem to be losing all my friends to drug addiction. I had a good friend for a while who got real bad into heroin, and I don’t talk to him any more. My other friends are getting really into coke now too, and I’m worried about them. So naturally I go online and read about addiction and stuff because it’s interesting to me. Some people say it’s a disease some say it’s not. What do you think? I think it is in a way both a disease and not a disease.
