There's short-term tolerance to euphoric effects, which develops and fades quickly on a scale of hours, eg https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2628209/figure/Fig5/ …

But that's not the kind of tolerance involved in withdrawal, which AFAICT isn't really covered in this paper.
-
It is. The same mechanism that leads to tolerance leads to physical dependence; the drugged state becomes the baseline 1/
-
Because it's the new baseline, more drug is needed to produce the same effects 2/
-
Because it's the new baseline, removing the drug puts the body in a deranged state, until natural chemistry straightens out again
-
This particular paper doesn't address physical dependence because physical dependence is thoroughly settled science
-
...So you linked a paper that isn't relevant to the argument you're making.
-
My argument is that physical dependence/tolerance to opiods can and does develop on a timescale of days, under the claimed conditions
-
I think that paper supports that?
