I think there are three different types of drug (ab)users. These only include the users who use drugs to have fun, people who use stimulants for studying or people who use opiates for pain control etc don't fall into these categories. It's kinda funny to look at people here on bl and see them expressing themselves as being a certain type and making fun of people in the other categories. Some people are in all three categories.
The first type is people who use drugs to expand their conciousness, you mostly see this type in PD. Mostly psychedelic users (of course).
The second type is people who use drugs to party, people who use MDMA, stimulants, some psychs, alcohol, cannabis etc.
The third type is people who either use drugs to self-medicate mental disorders, or people using drugs because they're bored and have nothing better to do. This type is kind of a gray area, because you could say they're just partying or whatever, therefore putting them in the second category. You could also say that people who are self medicating aren't really abusing drugs per se, but just trying to medicate depression anxiety whatever so that they're able to live life like a normal person. In general this type is just to have fun, and it can include any type of drug.
Pretty much I just felt like posting this because I definitely notice these distinctions between people here on bluelight, and just thought it might be brain candy for some people to think about. Post your opinion about it.
