Behavioural Tolerance

Through the principles of classical conditioning, cues in the environment can become conditioned stimuli to the effects of drug use. These cues cause the individual to anticipate the drug effects so that when the drug is actually administered the effects are diminished. Tolerance, or the need for a greater amount of drug for the same effect, is greatest when the conditioned environmental cues are present.
