Drug abuse is a genetic disaster? Scientists found addictive genes
According to a report from the British Guardian, people used to blame their weight and large waistlines on their DNA, which was considered normal. However, now, individuals can attribute their drug addiction to inherited "addiction genes" passed down from their parents. Recent scientific studies have identified a specific genetic variant that increases the likelihood of being addicted to substances like cigarettes and cocaine. In fact, 25% of cocaine addicts were found to carry this gene, marking a significant breakthrough in treating and understanding addiction. Rainer Spanagel, a professor of psychopharmacology at the Mental Health Research Center in Mannheim, Germany, who led the study, stated, “If you carry this genetic variant, your risk of becoming addicted to cocaine is significantly higher.†He emphasized the need for targeted prevention and support strategies for those with this genetic predisposition. Researchers are currently developing a vaccine that could reduce the rewarding effects of cocaine in carriers, helping them resist its addictive pull. Cocaine, derived from coca leaves, is a powerful stimulant that causes intense euphoria when inhaled or injected. It acts as a local anesthetic and alters brain chemistry, leading to heightened energy, reduced fatigue, and increased talkativeness. However, these effects are short-lived—lasting only about 30 minutes—before users experience a crash, often prompting repeated use to maintain the high. This cycle leads to increased tolerance, more frequent use, and ultimately severe physical and psychological damage. Long-term cocaine use through nasal inhalation can cause serious damage to the nasal passages, including ulcers, perforations, and even collapse of the nasal septum. Injecting cocaine intravenously poses life-threatening risks, such as heart attacks, and increases the likelihood of infections due to unsterilized needles. Sharing equipment also spreads diseases like hepatitis and HIV. High doses of cocaine can lead to paranoia, hallucinations, and violent behavior, contributing to social harm and self-destructive tendencies. Last week, the European Union’s anti-drug agency released a report highlighting the UK as the top cocaine user in continental Europe. According to the annual report by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), 12.7% of Britons aged 15 to 34 have tried cocaine, making it the most common drug among young adults. Additionally, 30.1% of the population uses marijuana, second only to France and Denmark. The report also noted that cocaine is increasingly replacing other drugs like amphetamines in some regions. Scientists believe that up to 70% of cocaine addiction has a genetic component, similar to conditions like schizophrenia. Studies have also shown that 50% of alcohol abuse is hereditary. A recent study published in an American journal found that genetically modified mice were more prone to drug addiction. By testing over 670 addicts and 700 non-users, researchers discovered that 40% of non-users carried the gene, compared to 50% of addicts, further supporting the genetic link to addiction.
