What are your reasons for using drugs?

it started out because I wanted to see what all this stuff felt like personally and form my own opinion on it but then it turned out I just really liked certain drugs and I didnt have to pretend to be interested in conversations, worry about if I was making a good impression, have to hide anything from them (maybe like, drug usage?) and I could just take them and get fucked up and do what I would do anyway albeit incredibly fucked up which made it a lot more entertaining.

then I just started talking to myself when I started doing opiates and at this point I just do it quite regularly and dont really care anymore. I guess it might be kind of weird but that's like... YOUR fuckin problem you know?

Most of the people I became friends with via drug use I also stopped being friends with because of drugs so it worked itself out really. And I was such a different person before I started taking them I don't really know what to say to people who knew me before that? whats up man. cool, ill see ya later i guess?

not really a DIFFERENT person actually, at least on the outside. just a different outlook on things

ive always found ways to entertain myself, and drugs were just really really prevalent where I live and I guess I just enjoyed the process of acquiring them almost as much as actually doing them so it was a nonstop thing really

I dont even know what tense to use for this shit anymore. I don't do drugs until I do. I dont know what else to fucking say

I get a script for pain but it also helps with my mental issues. If it wasn't for opiates I would've killed myself, been in prison, or I would've been killed. The drugs made me slow down my crazy way of life.
 
I'm not a regular drug user.. i do them maybe 2-4 times a month at most.

I use drugs to relieve stress or other emotions. Sometimes for fun with friends.

I love how weed makes me feel.
Oxycodone high is the best but I will never let myself get addicted to that shit.
 
As someone who's struggled with obsessive compulsive disorder, neurotic tendencies, anxiety (social anxiety especially), and mild manic/depressive episodes my entire life, drugs allow me a type of control I don't have otherwise. For my entire childhood, I couldn't control my mental state, so when I got into drugs it was a revelation.
 
Loneliness. Turns out being high at home isn't a very good long term solution to the problem though. A vicious cycle if there ever was one. It's time for something different, but after years of living like this I have no idea what.
 
It's just pleasant, nothing more to it than that. Sometimes I want to explore my mind a little and some drugs help with that.
 
I used to think they were cool
I rarely use anything outside of events like festivals or gigs so I guess it just enhances the experience and I feel real fucking good. I've also used them for bonding with a couple of mates, spot of amt and a sit down and a chat, lovely. Better than a couple pints.
 
I started because I was self destructive and wanted to die. I continue because of the same reasons, and because what's the point? My life is still shit sober. I just want to go to sleep for a long time. However, that's just my depression talking and deep down I do want to get help… but hopefully before I accidentally die from an overdose. Had too many close calls already. (Talking about heroin… any other drug besides opiates because I was experimenting and enjoy going to another place in time).
 
^ if you take the definition of mental performance to be as wide and vague as it could possibly be construed, we are all in the same boat.

Right now alcohol and valium keep me sane and coffee and tobacco wake me up and pot is fun. Even pain relief could be interpreted as higher/better mental function or performance right? Gosh I love drugs.

Well, I meant enhancing mental performance as in allowing for a more creative and imaginative approach to one's outlook on life. In my case stimulants in moderate dose (taking tolerance into consideration) allows me to be more productive at work which has pleasant repercussions on my life in general. I feel I lead a fuller life.
 
Curiosity drives me to try new drugs, though by now there aren't many of those left, haha. Psychedelics I've taken repeatedly because they are an interesting experience -- my favorite is peyote. I love the euphoria of the opiates. Uppers feel great for awhile, but the downs are more my thing. I've taken drugs mainly because of boredom, to relieve social anxiety and feel closer to people, and because this life is just too hard to deal with without them. Also the physical addiction part (heroin) has kept me taking it past when I didn't want to anymore.
 
IDK i could tell you about my interest mind altering substances and that my curious nature brought me to explore this at a rather young age. i found myself reading drug reports on erowid. i truly would get engaged with others experiences then make my own! that was middel and high school haha High school ha. but now its just well i can not see myself living without some kind of opiate, benzo, cannabis, and of course alcohol. its like asking me when did i first learn to walk talk or read ! IDK it just is
