Because of modernity.

Drugs are the most existential thing you can do. It all happens in your own head. Now that we're all apparently individuals, drug use is the most valid form of recreation, and I think most of the responses on this thread support that, even if the posters seem regretful of their use.

We don't even have what the 'better living through chemistry' freaks had, not many people think they're going to improve the world by dropping acid anymore. We just take our chemicals.

We take drugs because these days it's not what you earn but what you consume that defines you, and what could be a more self-defining thing to consume? Marx is dead, class is irrelevant and now we have postmodernists telling us that we create our own reality. Whatever.
 
After a few years of usage, I've come
to realise that everyone who uses drugs
past 'experiementation' is doing so to fill
some sort of gap or void in their life.

End of story.

If you dont agree, try and prove me wrong,
but I will bet that I can point out the gap that
they are filling.

The sheer fact that we feel that we need a chemical
to have fun is one gap that everyone on this board suffers.
Otherwise, we'd be having an equally good time in a much
safer and cheap way.
 
Well, shit.. Ill just some it up.

Speed/Coke - A lack of confidence or ambition

Opiates/Downers - a need to end some sort of pain or
mental turmoil.

Hallucinogens/Ecstasy - the inability to accept the simplicity
of the way life is now, and the need to find a deeper meaning,
even if that meaning does not exist.

Alcohol - All sorts of things, from blocking pain, to feeling inadequate
about your sober socializing skills, to feeling the need to be part of a
group.

Marijuana - Can be used for any or all of those 4 up there.

Now, look at your own drug usage, and tell me that you dont enjoy
them because of those very reasons I posted above.

You may say "I take opiates because they make me feel good,
I am not escaping anything". I beg to differ. They make you feel good
because the body euphoria is a better feeling than the way you feel sober.
In other words, you taking them cuz they make you feel good is your way
of dealing with the gap you feel in feeling normal.

Note that aside from drugs, things like religion, food, exercise, friends,
relationships, meditation, hope, etc. are all used for these purposes.

So the question really is whether using chemicals is unethical when you
have these other methods. Or maybe is it that the other, "ok" ways, are just as unethical. The way I view it, is that humans can never be satisfied,
and always seek contention. Therefore, if one way is wrong then they all are, but in the long run, its just our nature, and those of us on drugs have found the easiest way to remedy it, while not letting social stigma affect our decscions.

No you arent. :) Ive read your
posts.

IMO, experimentation cannot last more than one(maybe a few)
successful trial. Anything beyong that is you repeating
the experience because you desire whatever it is about the drug
that drew you to it in the first place.
 
Ahhh, I see. I was thinking more along the lines of me continuing to experiment with different drugs. I still have a long list of things I'd like to experience.
 
its an escape. it lets me feel ok about myself, for a few hours im actually happy! i dont have to deal with all the shit in my life. then i comedown off of coke (like right now...) and realize that most of those problems are because of drugs and i guess no matter what way you look at ive fucked up.

so im conclusion i do drugs because i like to fuck my life up.
 
life is all about chemicals anyway. When you get a kiss from your girlfriend, your brain releases serotine and dopamine and other stuff that makes you happy. If you think along this; whats so different about delibrately releasing them yourself?

That can be the 'scientific' reason.

Why do we take vacations? To get away from the stress and the monotonous everyday life cycle. Same reason i like to take drugs. I am sober 24/7... until i take a pill. then its x-12 hours worth of vacation.

Also, drugs can let us percieve things in a different way. So therefore if i want to look at a problem in a different way, i can use some drugs as a tool. It also increases my creativiness... as one of NOFX song says (i think) Take away the drugs, and you take away a lot of songs, movies, drawings, paintings, etc etc etc.

And finally... to satisfy natural human curiosity. Everyone wants to try something new once in a while, to get out of their own comfort zone and venture out into the unknown. Drugs are great for this.

Drugs can be your best friend- you abuse him, and he'll stab a dagger at your back. And you'll have a harder time pulling it out...
 
this post is the essence of why I strongly believe the smartest people in the world MUST be drug-users.
 
Well I'm quite new to the drug scene only have smoked bud for about 3 months on and off. While I knew at one point I was overusing/abusing it I decided to take a break only sticking to special/social events. There are things I like and dislike about it. I like how it takes away my shyness and breaks down my inhibitions making it easier to talk to girls and complete strangers who've just met. Some drawbacks its psychologically active and after I do it like 5 times a day for a week, I seem to feel dumb afterward. But after taking this break and doing it once a week at most, I feel fully functional and have gained a new perspective on life. I don't like how it's not accepted by society and how everyone thinks it is bad. Used in moderation is good. Although I hope to further explore my inner conscience by the use of psychedeliacs for a spirtual/finding myself sort of experience.
 
Personally? Well initially it was to ease some depression I was having, then I just kept on using them. I started off with just smoking herb and drinking whiskey back when I was in early adolescence and just kept on increasing my use as time went on. My family has a very long and turbulent history of substance abuse, stretching across more generations than I can count, and also of mental problems. So actually I'm not too surprised about my own situation.

I have stopped using drugs for periods of time when I've attended NA or AA meetings, but that doesn't mean that my mind ever stops thinking about using or getting high. I recently relapsed after 4 months of being clean, and I can honestly say that I thought about drugs every day during the course of those 4 months. I think it might just be some obsessive part of me, which won't stop thinking about a chemical substance which my brain knows is very rewarding and pleasurable.

This obsessive aspect of my own personality is not completely destructive though, and explains why my family is so sucessefull in business, and I guess it also explains why I do so well in school, even though I can be a fuck-up at times.

Oh well, that pretty much sums up why I do drugs.
 
according to one theory, there are only 2 reasons.
1.)to escape from problems
2.)because its fun and your brain knows it

i dont know if i beleive this, and i cnt give u the name or references, sorry, i just remember hearing it somewhere.

who knows why we do drugs, i dont think it matters, we should just relax and enjoy it because we dont have that long on this earth
