ELI5: If I take a different drug every weekend to get high, will I avoid addiction and my body becoming resistant to the drugs effects?

Why doesn't this work? If addicts are always chasing the first high they got, why don't they take another drug their body isn't used to and experience that first high again?

If you are constantly using different drugs from a different class that don't have the same method of action then yes, kinda. You will not have a chemical dependency and will not build up a resistance, as quickly. But you will still have a psychological addiction to drug use.

For instance, you can't switch between heroin and morphine because they are both opiates and use the same receptors. When your receptors bind to the chemicals in these drugs, they create more receptors if they all get used up. The more receptors you have, the harder it is go get high. So you would have to switch differently. Between Cocaine, Marijuana, heroin, LSD, mushrooms, Marijuana, Ketamin, Dilaudid, Methadone, Crack, Morphine, Meth, LSD, Cocaine, etc. Rinse and repeat. Do one of those a night and it wouldn't be as bad as being hooked on one drug.
