Tolerance

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Tolerance is the diminished effect of a drug after repeated use, requiring larger amounts for the original effect.

Show

A regular caffeine user gets less alertness from the same morning dose than they did in the first week.

Watch for

Tolerance develops at different rates for different effects of one drug, which is where overdose risk comes from.
