Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Research shows that many people are able to stop using addictive drugs without professional help, either by quitting cold turkey or through self-help programs such as support groups. While some individuals may develop a physical dependence on drugs such as morphine, not all patients who receive prescription opioids for pain relief become addicted. Additionally, while some occasional smokers may progress to heavy smoking, this is not always the case, and regular marijuana use does not always result in an irresistible craving for THC.
