They think they are human. When they are really a bot

I've noticed different things for different drugs. After enough years of crack use, people seem to have body/facial ticks. It's a drug where you spend most time not high, but in withdrawal, and I think they end up being poisoned by cortisol, a stress hormone.

If someone in recovery gets caught stealing something from a store, it usually means they've relapsed, but ex-meth users... not necessarily. The dopamine swings associated with use are the highest, so it sometimes results in them gravitating towards replacement activities; breaking the law, sex addiction, speeding, skydiving, possibly even behavior that looks very similar to the impulse control issues seen in bipolar people.

Heroin users have among the highest risk of relapse and death but if they do get over it, their brains seem to be decently well intact. (Unless they had brain damage from an overdose.) However, their bodies might not be too good from IV use, possible liver or kidney problems, hep c, is very common. Obviously recognizable if wearing short sleeve shirts.
