Answer to Question 1

First, the market began to sell legal, milder stimulants (usually caffeine or ephedrine) that were virtually indistinguishable to the eye from prescription amphetamines. One could not be prosecuted until new regulations were made that made it illegal to distribute any substance misrepresented as a controlled substance. Second, the price of amphetamines went up and quality declined. Therefore, people went back to using cocaine because it was believed to be less dangerous. Third, the number of illegal methamphetamine laboratories increased.

Answer to Question 2

At one time, drug addiction was linked to the presence of physical withdrawal symptoms. But many people do not experience cocaine-related withdrawal symptoms. Recent conceptualization of addiction relies on reinforcement and DSM-V criteria which may or may not include physical symptoms.
