What are the effects of quitting cold turkey after years of drug abuse?
Question by whoa_its_courtney93: What are the effects of quitting cold turkey after years of drug abuse?
We are debating penalties for drug charges in my class. One complete christian kid keeps fighting the point that anyone caught with drugs should automatically be sentenced to 7 years in prison first offense…. so i argued that avid drug users or many years would die if all the sudden cut off from the drug they were using for many years. I know this is to do over compensation from the nervous system like in alcoholics. But i was wondering if anyone knew of a website that said this in very clear details because he doesnt seem to take what im saying seriously. i just want some good proof of what happens when people who have been using drugs for many years all the sudden go cold turkey.

Look at the benefits instead of effects.

I don’t have any solid proof. But I’ve been around people who quit cold turkey. You can become very violent, you can actually pass out and be sent to the hospital. You personality totally changes. Some cases you have no control over your body. The guy I knew who quit pills passed out, and in the hospital literally …pooped .. in his pants, because he had no control. If you’re gonna quit you should be prescribed something to calm your anxiety.
