overdose doesn’t seem to fit this at all let’s see.... Withdrawal is the part of drug abuse that happens when a person is no longer using, but their bodies have become used to having those substances taken in regularly. While, Tolerance happens when a person no longer responds to a drug in the way they did at first. So it takes a higher dose of the drug to achieve the same effect as when the person first used it. This is why people with substance use disorders use more and more of a drug to get the “high” they seek..... So, you decide. Personally, i would choose tolerance but it is honestly up to you. Good luck

withdrawal

this means that if you get addicted to the drug you will want more and more and u will have a withdrawal if you don't take the drug again
