Not directly: In the classic sense, it would be hard to develop a physical dependence to a drug the first time you take. BUT, many alcoholics and drug addicts recall that they felt addicted to their "drug of choice", with the first experience they had with it. Whether alcohol, cocaine, opiates, meth, or heroin. The subsequent experiences create a positive reinforcement that can lead addiction and destruction
