Does Alternating Between Different Types of Drugs Help Keep Tolerance and Addiction Potential Low?
Question by Mike: Does alternating between different types of drugs help keep tolerance and addiction potential low?
I enjoy taking Adderall and Vicodin for fun. I do a recreational dose of either one of these drugs once every 2 weeks and I was wondering if since Adderall is an amphetamine and vicodin is an opiate; would alternating between which drug I choose to do every 2 weeks be a good idea in hopes to keep tolerance and dependency for both down? Thanks for any helpful responses.

EDIT-
Directed towards the person who answered me: there is no true reason why I decide to do these drugs other then to feel euphoric for a little while. That’s an ignorant conclusion to have drawn; not all people who use drugs, especially recreationally, have issues. Also, I have willpower and do not even have the resources to make this an actual habit. I equate this to drinking a every 2 weeks, which is not bad at all. So instead of forecasting the potential addictions, an actual answer to my question would be appreciated.

That’s like asking if I use two different guns do I reduce the risk of shooting myself when I play Russian Roulette? The question you should be asking is why do you enjoy taking a drug and what are the issues in your life that make you want to use drugs?
I project that in a couple of months you’ll be saying that you use these drugs only once a week and then only every other day. These rationalizations are the being of addiction denial.
