Hello. This guide is still referenced in places. Please note it is largely obsolete.
If you want to avoid being kicked from education - rehab before the brain icon hits 7%.
Please note - Drugs have recently been tweaked a bit. Most figures should still be safe, but ecstasy has definitely been increased in addiction. Please heed this forewarning. I will not be doing any kinds of re-testing until the Drugs 2.0 update. If you want newer information then it will be up to you to find out in the meantime.
If you enjoy using my guide please make a comment saying so! Your feedback is what helps inspire me to keep this thing going!
Slightly different format to what it was before as some parts are no longer relevant. Happy to take on board suggestions and such, it's been hinted that drugs may change in the future though so if that does happen then I will be re-writing and re-researching this entire guide from scratch :)

Current Information Includes
- Addiction percentage amount for every drug
- Amount of drugs necessary to kick from education
- Amount of drugs necessary to 'glass door' at the gym (See below for definition if required)
- Amount of addiction removed from company special 'Herbal cleansing' (5 star florist special - "Remove addiction for job points")
- Amount of addiction removed from company special 'R&R' (5 cruise liner agency special - "Remove addiction for job points")
- Overdose addiction for drugs (Currently: Xanax)
Important notes & disclaimers:
Unlike previous guides I have included EVERY drug and given a relatively accurate figure of how many it takes to take you to three star in your company, and then how many it takes to kick you from education, all information given doesn't account for overdoses, the number is for a normal/successful drug take, remember that an overdose will count for 2-5 times normal addiction, if you wish to work out your addiction then factor these in when tracking your drug intake (Disclaimer: Remember, this is just a guide, I have tried to make it as accurate as possible, but there will always be various degrees of variation, as with any guide - The figures given apply to taking drugs non-stop, I did sleep though... spacing your drug intake out will of course give a slightly larger number than what I have here)
In addition, there is a % addiction level for each drug, this is not 100%, it's arbitrary, but based on relative addiction, so it's a fairly good indicator, once your total % addiction reaches 100% you will be kicked from education, when you reach 38% you will go to three star in your company (Tested and confirmed that mixing doesn't increase addiction any more than normal).
The figures present apply to users with 0 hermetic upgrades. For each hermetic upgrade you have present include the relevant percentage changes to your addiction.
May 18th 2011 update - Glass door gym figures added
So, many people asked for this, the amount of drugs you need to take in order to hit the 'glass door' - Note that 'glass door' is the point where you cannot use the gym without first taking a drug, it will result in one of three outcomes you will either 'Hit your head on a curb/Crash through the glass door/Don't feel like training due to addiction' - All of these three outcomes are the same addiction amount, the 'glass door' figure.
Disclaimer: I did not test EVERY drug for this, unlike education. I did not feel it was necessary, I tested main drugs and a few others to get accurate figures for frequently used drugs and a multiplier on addiction that I can use to calculate the figures of addiction for the others. The completely accurate ones are Xanax, vicodin, ecstasy, speed and PCP. - Note also that the 'Percentage addiction' figure has not changed, 100% is still the arbitrary amount it will take for an education kick. Glass door will be roughly 160-170%. Again, this does not account for any extra addiction gained from overdoses.
July 5th 2011 update - Company special effects
I have added accurately calculated figures, relative to my current percentage addiction figures, of how much drug addiction is removed from the 'Herbal cleansing' 5 star florist addiction removal job special, see bellow.
July 24th 2011 update - Company special effects
Finished testing for the cruise liner R&R addiction removal special. Unlike herbal cleansing I was unable to go AS exact, due to only being able to take off job points by 5s, rather than use other specials to get exact job points, but I tested the range and found identical results to herbal cleansing, this leads me to conclude that the two specials have the same amount of addiction removal ability, see bellow.
January 29th 2013 - Minor update (ODs)
Been meaning to do this one for a while, added a far more accurate figure to the addiction gained from an overdose, I intend to do this for most/all drugs, so far it just has xanax. This has been calculated by rehabbing after a single xanax OD (no other drugs) and comparing that with a rehab cost straight after of a single non overdosed xanax. The difference was roughly 2.5x less in terms of rehab costs, so therefore the addiction must follow the same pattern.
June 24th 2014 - RESPO update
I have re-posted my guide following the RESPO update to the forums. A number of users requested this so I could not say no. Apologies for the slight delay on getting it into the new forums, I do have a life and this had to wait until I had some spare time as it does take a while to write out in these forums as I like. I have removed any company star rating distortions, these are now impossible for me to accurately calculate as they're based around employee stats too, so everyone will have different star changes in companies. An important thing to note is that I have not changed or re-calculated any figures present in the old guide, the figures should be as accurate as they were previously for the meantime but it has been hinted that this may not be for very long, Ched may change the figures for drug addiction at some point, he may not, in the event this does happen though I will be re-writing and re-researching the guide. Until then, enjoy!
So, without further ado, here are my results for all the drugs I took
Including both R&R and Herbal Cleansing Job specials present in 5 star Cruise Line Agencies and 5 star Flower shops respectively.
After extensive testing I can confirm that the effect of addiction removal, relative to the percentage figures ONLY present in this guide, is -0.34% addiction per job point.
So, if you gained 11.2% addiction from one xanax, using 5 job points on this special would result in a final addiction figure of 9.5%
