Have you ever wondered what draws you to use drugs?

Humans are complicated beings, yet to my knowledge we are the only species, besides cats (catnip) that goes out of our way to to get high. For me it is psychedelics that turn me on, I was afraid to try heroin in my youth but I loved morphine as a result of surgery. I took a lot of MDA because it was so readily available. Mushrooms didn't do much for me but LSD and mescaline did. Never tied DMT or crack and I wasn't impressed by cocaine. I think I was too young and immature to reap the full benefit of a cocaine high. As far as alcohol and liquor goes, I liked the taste but always passed out from drinking too much. Not a fun way to get fucked up.

Why are we the chosen few who enjoys an altered state of consciousness? While some people have no interest in getting high? I don't know, the reason(s) I started was because of my parents, church and religion. I was a southern baptist preacher's kid fucked up by parental stupidity and their commitment to make me a clone of righteousness according to their perspective of the Bible. Church and religion was clearly not for me, so I took a higher path of reason with psychedelics.

 
for me, I know exactly what draws me to them

pure curiosity

curiosity in the fact that these materials can induce such incredibly radical changes in thought processes and behavior

learning that early on led me to understand that our consciousness, who we are, lies entirely in the brain and is subject to the laws of physics

of course that's mostly psychoactives, but this led me to understand how powerful of tools these materials are

tools to help people live better lives, tools to help us learn about who we are, tools to help us understand how the brain works to produce our subjective every day experiences
 
Depression, ptsd, bipolar and physical pain is why i drink rum pop valium and olazapine and smoke crack, they relieve me of symptons + tinker with my brain for intrest of different levels of awareness

I agree, the mind and its capabilities fascinate me. There are aspects of mental illness that confounds me even today, most of which came about as a result of chemical experimentation. Once you tap into the space that can manipulate physics in a way that allows to predict and control the outcome of a perceived notion power is limitless. This has only happened a couple of times for me, but I was able through various movements and positioning of my inner-self I helped produce the outcome of my desire. This would not have been possible without knowledge of how my brain works through experimentation.

I'm sorry to hear that, at least these things help with coping. Drugs are marvelous, will there come a time when the brain learns how to repair itself by remapping damaged cells caused by mental illness? The future cannot arrive sooner than now, I believe psychedelic research will unlock the mystery associated with thought disfunction and eventually create a cure for psychosis and other thought disorders.

🙏 that it shall be
 
It's not just humans and cats. Lemurs chew toxic centipedes. Dolphins pass along puffer fish like a joint. Monkeys steal leftover alcohol from beach bars and get drunk.

Similar behaviour is documented across other species besides these. It appears many creatures simply enjoy the experience of an altered consciousness.

Same dues brother! But always remember the bluelight community is always a brother, a mother, a sister and father of goodwill and mindfulness, and like minded honesty in conversation. We all have ups and downs, mental health and physical wise and can learn and heal of each other. I have been on and off alcahol since the age of six when my family let me drink wine etc, tobacco i smoked from five years up, everyday at least twenty ciggerattes from eleven years old (and yes my lungs are fucked at fifty and i dont smoke tobbacco anymore just inhale snuff tobacco powder) class A drugs (U.K. language) since fifteen, i went thirteen years clean then lost my job and ended up on the mental regeime and back on cocaine and xtc, speed. And yes i feel the need to escape some humans everyday, so i do it and escape some humans and come on here for honest and like minded chat!🙏

Depends on the drug and the situation I am taking it in. Recreation, enhanced creativity and anxiety relief are the big ones for me.

However, on a deeper level, I do suffer from a bit of that dissatisfaction with daily reality that seems to drive many people into addiction. There really hasn't been a period of my life since I were a young child where I reliably felt happy, comfortable and content. I've managed to satisfy one or two of those for long periods, or all three for short periods. Drugs help with that, each one I use helps in a different way. At least temporarily.

This is a stupid way to be, but it is what it is. Too paranoid for therapy, too sane to embrace insanity. Drugs work for now.
 
I’m at a point in life I want to revisit psychedelics but there are many factors against me. I do not consider age although I am 70. The major factors are twofold, medication I take for schizoaffective disorder counteracts psychedelics virtually rendering the effect non existent. The other factor is a risk of longterm psychosis of which I am willing to take. However psychedelics at least psilocybin does not produce trippy results so what is the purpose of exposing myself to something that doesn’t work on me.
Anyway I have my memories that remind me of adventures I had under the influence that no one can take from me.
 
I think more about the question why so many other people aren't drawn to using drugs.

That's like not being drawn to traveling, not wanting to have ecstatic experiences via dancing or sex, not wanting to consume / view art that touches one deeply.

The fact that our time on this earth is limited to me necessitates wanting to experience strong emotions.
