The positive reinforcing effect of drugs in animals, as demonstrated in laboratory research, is free from social and cultural influences. This is because animals do not have the social or cultural factors that humans have, which can influence drug addiction. The reinforcing effect of drugs is just based on the biological response of the brain to the drug.
