why do we do drugs?

Status
Not open for further replies.
i do drugs because i have a good time.
Im not addicted to anything but cigarettes.
I smoke weed every couple of months and take pills every couple of weeks.
I have friends that I spend time with that arent interested in taking drugs and then i have another group that get trashed every day.
I try and find a balance between the both
 
I kep it to weed (and the occasional therapudic mushroom trip) and smoke for recreation. Key word is recreation. As long as you smoke for fun and maintain a firm grasp on reality, it can't hurt you. Drugs only get a bad name from abuse.
 
So silverfucked is it wrong that we do drugs because of those very reasons you posted? Or should we try "naturally" to fix these problems?
 
Drugs I've done and why I do them


Addiction:
Nicotine - I hate being addicted to cigarets fuckin' cancer sticks are a hard habit to kick and I don't get anything out of smoking them.


Enhancement:

Weed - boredom nothing to do lazy day makes shit more interesting

Alcohol - Relax social events partying lowering inhibition


Entertainment:

Coke - Fuck if I know why I do it. I mean its fun but completely unnecessary. I do this once in a blue moon and every time its because it just falls on my lap.

Ecstasy - My favorite but I don't do it too often This is used to just let go and have an incredibly good time. Blowing ppl. up + gettin' blown up = great time had by all.

Shrooms - How cool is it to see shit thats not there, faces in trees swirling patterns in the carpet cracking up at someone making a silly face.

I don't do drugs to escape I do them to have a good time although I don't rely on them to have a good time. I think of eating some shrooms like going out to a movie. Its something fun to do I just don't do it as often.
 
I just wanna rant real quick.

Oddly enough, I only do drugs at work. And it's only because while I'm there I have a few drinks,and get buzzed well then I realize it's only midnight... 2 hrs to go... so I gotta sober up some. So I get some blow to sober up. And that is where it all starts. Cuz once I start I cant stop... I think of it as temporary addiction. And I hate how I/m too weak to say no. You know what I mean? Like right now its 620 am and I should be sleeping cuz i work tonite but I got a free 16th here and it's beckoning to me.

You tend to think you're a strong minded person and all that but times like this prove other wise. It's the devil.

So yeah I do drugs to sober up. What happens next is unavoidable tho.
 
Recently I have been clean due to marriage and responsibilty so this pertains to before all that...

At first I used to alter my perception and experience something outside the norm. Once I got into prescription pills my reason changed. Around age 16 I started experincing anxiety/depression so I started doing mad amounts of benzos, tranquillizers, and pain killers to dull that pain but it only made shit worse. So there I was, anxious and depressed, but now with a monkey on my back. In attempt to quit them I started resorting to less addictive drugs (i.e. marijuana, coke, ketamine) to ease withdrawls.

So in the end, I came out with my D.O.C., benzodiazepines which I use to ease anxiety and muscle problems that I devolped along the way. But the real reason is that I don't want to w/d so I stay on them. I may be doomed to the benzo dark side for the rest of my life....
 
I believe I abuse drugs because I see the world differently to straight people. How people wake up everyday and happily live in todays society, I cannot understand. I watched 'Bowling for Columbine' tonight and it pretty much summed up how I see the world everytime I try and participate (which is very rarely nowdays). People are bad, I am living in a time where I can trust no-one and the closest soul to me is my cat. There is no way I could go to work and act happy when I know what this world is really about. I am not saying my life with drugs is fun, I hate it. I hate myself for what I have become in society eyes, and for wasteing my potential, and tossing my dreams out with the garbage, but I would hate myself even more if I was like the rest of society today. Sounds very warped but it is my morals that keep me from being alive in this world. "Eat or be eaten".... I chose to hide in the dark with my cat and my morals.
 
to me theres a bunch of reasons i do drugs, and for the most part each drug i do has its own reasons. pot, well pot is cause i think too much, originaly it was a social thing of course, but ive found peace when im high, it calms my brain and it lets me not think, and gives me a sence of peace.

blow lets me be happy, im not happy often, and it lets me be social which ive never been in my life, and that makes me happy, when i can do that and just talk and be merry its so much fun.

but yeah in truth what probably more than half the posts in this thread say, its all about excapisim and lets me make almost any room into my "happy room" (a tech. my therapists were trying to teach me with self hypnosis/meditation) i just dont like the real world right now.

hmm...depression, loneliness, and then b/c it helps to expand my mind, relieve boredom, and bring me closer to people i would otherwise never have met. and then sometimes b/c i want to kill myself slowly over the years. it just depends on what day of the week it is. 8)
 
Happiness..escape..habit..doing something that makes me feel different than i usually do; i would have to say it is a combination of many things for me
 
^yeah, there's just so many reasons.

Oddly enough, I remember when I was about 12 I said something like "I'll never do drugs.".......Then when I hit 14 I stopped being a goody goody, changed completely! I tried pot because all my friends did it, and it didn't seem to fuck them up or anything, so I eventually tried it myself!! At this age I also started drinking lots and just being a bit of a rebellious teenager I suppose! So i dunno, for alcohol and pot, I think it started as just something to kill boredom and just simply enjoying the way alcohol made me feel, how it made a party back then, and jsut teh stupid stuff w eused to do like breaking into abandonned houses and having summer parties in them! It was also very much a rebellion thing though, that grew into the norm after time. Very routine. Just for the socia aspects.
But then I started doing e's, speed and coke, all the 'party' upper drugs, around about 18. I think the reason i started doing these was out of pure curiousity, but unfortunately I did end up doing it far far too much, and I became dependant on them for socialising and to fill a void or something......But despite that it did tell me a hell of a lot about myself. I learnt a lot.
Then came psychedelics......I think these will always be my favourite types of drugs. I only believe in doing them in moderation through my experiences with all the other drugs before that......The reason I do them isn't to boost my self-confidence socialbility or anything (They are the most powerful types of drugs, and shouldn't be fucked with basically!), it's purely a treat to trip every now and again...... Self-exploration and novelty I suppose! I hardly do any chemicals now, only when I feel like it. Which isn't very often. Simple novelty.

Sorry that was a bit long winded! But I felt there is no single reason why people take drugs. I just wanted to explain how it's evolved for me: ---> Rebellion/Curiousity--->Curiousity/Dependance--->Self-Exploration/Moderation..........and a just a general good laugh!!!
 
First time I used drug were when I was 14. I tryed pot to just fulfill my curiosity. Then it was fun to smoke once in a while. Then in weekends for few years and then everyday. Coz it seemed very normal thing to do, but in the end I was escaping from my everyday problems. In some point, fun was replaced with escaping from my problems and from reality.

Then, year after my first pot use, I started to use amphetamine. My friend got it from hes friend and in one night we made tiny lines and snorted it. It was amazing feeling then. Soon we were just doing it because it keeped us up and when we drunk alcohol then there weren't this alcohol buzz. You know what I mean. Then the next smart thing was E. It just happened in some party. Then I started to liked it and then on i'm doing it. Also I never do amphetamine again.

Then, the next thing I discovered was psychedelics. In the same time my reasons for doing drugs changed. I do psychedelics to expand my mind and for personal growth.

I know there isn't any reason that justify drug use. Mostly I must agree silverfucked, that we are doing so to fill some sort of gap or void in our life. I also belive that things like mind expanding and personal growth are also good reasons, but they come with the reasons what silverfucked named. I think that indians used drugs for good purposes and nobel reasons.
 
People do drugs to escape reality(cliche yes, but true), for any mental or physical problems, and in the name of addiction. Then there are the few out there who actually do drugs recreationally, similar to seeing a movie. Although I think popping some E is much more entertaining than seeing Enter the Matrix.
 
Botanik...I'm not talking about going on week-long binges just taking some ritalin or even a line of speed in order to study for extended periods of time. I can't speak for anyone else, but I must get sleep even after taking some amphetamines or my head feels like it's been through a blender.
