Quote by Stanton Peele

The addictive experience is the totality of effect produced by an involvement; it stems from pharmacological and physiological sources, but takes its ultimate form from cultural and individual constructions of experience.

The addictive experience is the totality of effect produced

Summary

This quote suggests that addiction is not solely driven by biological factors or the impact of substances on the body. Instead, addiction arises from a combination of physiological and cultural influences. While the addictive nature of substances can be attributed to their pharmacological effects on the body, the overall experience of addiction is shaped by individual perceptions and societal constructions of what addiction entails. In other words, the addictive experience is the result of a complex interplay between biological, social, and personal factors.
