CONT

Les effets d'une drogue ne dépendent pas seulement de la substance (quantité, pureté, mode de consommation, interactions, etc.), mais aussi de l'individu qui la consomme (âge, sexe, poids, état nutritionnel, expositions antérieures, état de santé physique et mentale, attentes, émotions) ainsi que du contexte d'utilisation (lieu, moment de la journée, circonstances, entourage).
