lets be honest - who uses drugs to escape reality

I do it to get messed up with my friends.
I do it because I like it and because I can.
I moderate myself because I’ve seen what abuse can do.
I do it to understand myself.
Drugs bend time, emotions, feeling and perception.

Escape from reality is inevitable with strong drugs, but the intent is not to escape reality, but to amplify and dim certain attributes of reality.

^For what reason? You would only have two options, yes or no...correct am I?

I was thinking more along the lines of what percentage of your drug use is for esccaping reality.

Reality sucks most of the time. I feel that drugs help me to see our world in a better light! I feel a lot more relaxed whilst under the influence of drugs and i appreciate a lot more. You know, when the sun is shining, sky is blue and ur high! Or when ur lookin up at the stars...

Drugs help me to slow down and see the world as it should be seen.

I too feel like drugs help me see the world in a better way, although I guess that's the whole point of getting high. The thing is I feel like drugs contributed so much to my outlook on life, and broadened my perspectives in a positive way. Of course there are plenty of negatives too but what can you do 8)
 
Ive decided that I became addicted to opiates because they relieved a dissatisfaction with myself. So yes.
 
I'm always looking to escape reality, but I do most of that through excessive daydreaming.
I often use drugs to escape feeling bad, but that's because I NEED to function in reality and I function better when I'm feeling good. In short, I will use drugs to feel better about being in the reality I'm in.
When I think of escaping reality, I think of something like psychedelics or alcohol, which would make a person more apt to forget reality entirely.
 
Alcohol, weed, dxm and heroin can be used for escaping reality... (Although I have never done H). Most other things I do to feel good or be with and talk to friends and have fun.

I have tried most of the drugs I have had access to at least once. I try to be a responsible user and I try to keep my good friends out of trouble and safe (while having a great time at the same time!)

When I do drugs to escape reality, it is mostly because I feel bad/sick/tired a lot of the time. I currently have some health problems (even though I’m only 17!) Don't worry I think I know the source of the health problems and will probably fell a lot better when I have time to address these problems (after I get out of school)

Some drugs help me be an active, outgoing extrovert. I have finite energy and finite patience for some people.
I haven't done drugs to escape from reality in awhile. IMO doing drugs too often or to escape reality is a sign of addiction/desperation. Not that I'm a saint when it comes to drug/alcohol use. I have my binges and make irresponsible decisions. I have forgotten a couple of days at one point ;)
Drugs have the capacity for good and evil.

I've decided that if my life sucks, I will reson out why it sucks and what I can do to change it. I can't drink or smoke or snort my problems away. I have too much self control and potential to allow drugs to control me.

I don't NEED drugs to function, but drugs/alcohol will always hold a special place in my life. Getting messed up sometimes provides a balancing force in my life and changes my thoughts/attitude's when sober.

A night of hard parting is often followed by a day of quiet reflection and insight.
 
Guilty as charged>

I take drugs to escape reality , if reality persists I see my dealer.


Loved "Reality is for people who can't handle drugs!", its funny cos its true.
 
I'm currently in the process of deciding which one of these I will post:

still though, i smoke weed when i'm bored because when i'm bored i get depressed.. you could sort of say i use marijuana to get away from something. it's not only for that purpose of course.

can't say it's like that with other drugs.. i take them for a fun experience when i'm already feeling good.

or

I do drugs to have fun and feel good.
I do it to get messed up with my friends.
I do it because I like it and because I can.
I moderate myself because I’ve seen what abuse can do.
I do it to understand myself.

They both sorta fit...
 
Reality is scary, but complete escape from reality? That is terrifying! I am wary about hallucinogens because last time my friend had a pretty bad trip.

A bit of advice to others... Don't take an 1/8 of the strongest shrooms you have ever had for your first time.
Some more advice... Giant salvia/weed blunt=bad on strong shrooms especially around angry drunks.
haha so much fun, so much insanity.
 
I don't read that far into it... I spike my vein because it feels good :)

IV heroin... escaping reality... DUH! :D
 
In a way I think I do drugs to get more in touch with reality. When I'm high I feel like I see things as they really are and I only notice what really matters.
 
I'm psychologically masochistic in that I take hallucinogenic drugs to open my mind to unnatural heightened awareness whenever I feel too sensitive to life. The pain feels so good, so keep your opiates.
