Definitions
the most wretched part of coming off hard drugs is the reaction called withdrawal symptoms. People go into convulsions. These are so severe that the addict becomes very afraid of them and so remains on drugs. The reaction can produce death. The theory is that withdrawal symptoms are muscular spasms.(HCOB 5 Nov 74)
