Pretty basic question but one I think is important and may not be thought about by ppl.

For myself I began using ecstasy purely out of curiosty cause my friends were. I fell in love with how ecstasy made me the person I wish I could be sober. Ecstasy was the only drug I really used until the comedowns got yo me and curiosiy arose about other drugs. Since then I've tried almost every mainstream drug and the ones I keep using (alcohol, speed, opiates, xtc) are the ones which make me a more social person which is what I look for in drugs, the euphoria associated being secondary. For this reason weed, psychs ghb and others I rarely use.

So what are other reasons u guys use. I imagine some reasons would be
boredom
pain
depression
euphoria
 
Never understood why, but in the last few months it's become evident to me that my subconscious has been secretly crying out. Not going into much detail but shrooms especially have dragged out some repressed memories. It's hard to explain but I'm starting to wish I hadn't unlocked such dark doors of my past
 
I once went to a counsellor, and she asked the same question, the best answer that I could come with, was that I liked the way they made me feel, and it gave me pleasure...

However she wasn't able to accept that that was the case at all, and really, I was trying to block out some part of my consciousness, lol, because thats what they taught her in the classroom.

I could not make her understand that the feeling of amphetamine, or endorphines or whatever really did feel good, and after trying to explain that, which she couldn't comprehend, I had to say that, yes, she was right (with my fingers crossed) and that all her years of university really did qualify her to be able see right though me...:p
 
I started using at first because it was fun, then I started using for depression and anxiety and now I use to stay well.

That's opioids anyway for me. I've also used benzodiazepines and alcohol for depression and anxiety and have had problems with them.

Other drugs though, e.g. psychedelics, MDMA, amphetamines, etc... I've used for fun always or for practical reasons.
 
I like to bend the mind a bit..... perception is a very curious notion in my world, indeed.

Also I like to get amped up. I like to trip and I like to dance and run around like a rockstar.

why do I use them? because, simply put, I enjoy them.

I've had periods where I've felt the need to use to stay sane, but I've since replaced my drug addiction with a fitness addiction, seems to be costing me less money (but damnit eating healthily costs a fortune :|)
 
I smoke weed to allow me to sleep more easily. Also love to relax at the end of the day and unwind. If i have to get up early, i won't smoke the night before as it makes getting up awfully difficult and i feel burnt out most of the next morning. It's also nice to do socially to make things interesting the same way alcohol is used.

Alcohol: Less inhibitions and often to go out and enjoy myself more.

MDMA: First used to bring myself out of my shell. Makes everything amazing, in love with the world. Increased music apreciation and decreased inhibitions. Mainly for the music.

Speed: Don't really use it much anymore, but for increased stamina so can dance the night away. Not really fond of it's scattering after effects anymore, so i abstain.

Psychdelics (Mushrooms)- General escape from reality (only ever do it around others) and to have a crazy fun time running amuk. Generally just fun to push the boundaries of the human consciousness as it amazes me what they can do!
 
I find the weekends are so boring and go much faster without drugs so pretty much for fun, the feeling and the fact it bringS me closer to
my mates.
 
i have pretty bad anxiety and deppression so for a long time i used bud and benzos to relax
and escape from it.

i stopped the benzos a while ago (use them just when i really feel anxious or after a festival with to many pills or to sleep after a trip) and quit weed about a week ago and im now looking at some natural anti-deppressants and anti-anxiety's as my experiences with ssri's wern't all that great.

just like shibada when im sober i hardly talk but when i have pills, speed or coke i just cant seem to stop and my anxiety is pretty much gone so since iv been off the meds i have used these to go out nearly every weekend.

i tried lsd late last year and fell in love haha couldn't really say why i like it so much but i guess it would be the reason most other trippers love there acid.
 
Just like a food connoisseur likes to try different foods and experience different tastes/textures and such...I like to try different substances to experience different states of mind...so a drug connoisseur of sorts;)
 
I just recently started rolling partly out of curiosity and partly to show my boyfriend that I love, trust, and care about him. I also figured it may be a way to help me no be quite so introverted (and I believe it has)

Also, same reason I want to try shrooming. I want the bonding experience and I want to have those deep, crazy conversations that we may not have otherwise do to inhibitions, shyness, etc.
 
Was never really that curious about drugs until somebody offered me a pill at a party. I'm not sure if I was curious or bored or what, but I took it and subsequantly had the best night of my life up until that point. So I became a pillhead, and I guess somewhere along the way I asked myself 'if MDMA makes me feel that great, I wonder what all those other drugs must be like?' And a few years of swallowing, snorting or smoking whatever chemicals I could get my hands on followed :p Some I never bothered with more than once, others developed into a regular part of my lifestyle, and 4 years later here I am.
