why do we do drugs?

Not open for further replies.
I try to find something and i cant....................there is not one reason that i do drugs, and i do them alot. And i try to stop because of that and i cant, i think why not, theres no reasons to stop me either.

So fuck drugs i say, but ill probably smoke a bowl tonight, just cant stop
 
there are usually two types of people that do drugs :

escapers and psychonaughts..

escapers tend to do drugs just to escape their painful physical reality..

psychonaughts do drugs not to escape but to learn about inner space..only psychadelics like lsd and shroomies are good for this experience.. if more people did drugs like that to learn rather then to escape.. we would have less bad trips ;)
 
Depends on the person and the frame of mind they are in. I began using drugs to see what I could learn from them. I think seeing the world from a differemt perspective can be a huge growing experience. Ecstacy taught me how much I overlook in the world, and what people can be like if all the barriers of negativity are removed. Mushrooms awakened the idea in me that life itself is one big trip and can either be exciting or scary, depending on the frame of mind you are in. Herb, in addition to getting me more in touch with my creative side, has always seemed like an instant reality check to me (sorry if this sounds weird); every time I do it I remember that most things in the material world are a distraction from the things that are really important, and I mentally get back on track. Coke is fucking gay. It's just a 10 minute session of fake self confidence. K's not my thing either. It's about as useless as getting drunk and numb.

Funny thing is though, after only one or two times of doing each one (after I'd learned everything I was going to learn from them) it was like they were no longer good for anything other than getting fucked up. Maybe we keep doing them because we want that experience from the first time to happen again when the truth is we've already gotten everything we're going to get from it.

Ironically, the two most useless drugs that don't teach anything (nicotine and alcohol) are the ones that are legal. What a coincidence....
 
When I was younger I lived in a shitty little town with no opportunities. I NEEDED expeiences. Thats my personality. I even moved to India to make those experiences bigger and wider and harder to deal with. You know - more rewarding!

Thats me anyway
 
its been about a 1.5 months since ive been high the last time, and ive been thinking alot why i want to get high. And ive come to the conclusion that there are different reasons for different drugs:

painkillers/opiates: TO ESCAPE. they make your problems dissolve, they make u feel nothing but extreme euphoria.

weed: ITS FUN! it doesnt really dissolve ur problems, but it is hella fuckin fun, and the ritual involved in smokin is pretty badass too.

psychedelics: i dont really buy into all of the "expand ur mind MAAAAAN" bullshit, but it is fun to know that you are nowhere near reality in any way and the fact that ur freinds head just warped into the couch and came out a potatoe( past mescaline experience) is pretty fuckin cool.

mdma: ecstacy is like sex and natural emotions are like masturbation...helps me experience "more"

p.s. sex is the best drug...and i absolutely kno why i do it, because i was MADE to, outside of sex, what does a human really have?

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?

Thats a philosophical question that I believe everyone has to answer for themseleves.. Is it wrong to self medicate or not.. Personally, I see drugs as a quick fix, not a solution, and the longer I live, the more I realise that life has no quick fixes.

As for "recreational" use... I still see that as a void you are filling... You feel the need to have fun with drugs because having fun without them has lost its edge. Thats how I started, then alot of other "sober things" lose there edge later in life, such as being content with yourself. After about five years of drug use, I realise more and more that the reasons that I thought i was using for(just to "have fun") were really bullshit all the time, and it was really more of a ploy for instant gratification in a very ungratified life, combined with a need for attention, be it positive or negative.
 
^ ^ ^ ^

Everything loses its allure in life. This may be a philosophical rationalization for drug use, but i think life can be viewed as the forward progression of many "quick fixes". Sure, there are some things that can be rewarding that last your whole life time, but these things are never static. They change and evolve.

Take for instance - love. Love usually starts by feelings of unique attraction and can often involve grandiose gestures and intense excitement.

Amphetamines.

Long lasting love usually involves feelings of contentment and a safe "everything is going to be alright" type of vibe.

Opiates.

It's not a perfect analogy for sure. Our brains have had time to adjust to our feelings of love, and most likely have evolved to make that be a pleasurable sensation. People in the throes of these emotions have a better track record at producing offspring for obvious reasons.

With drugs I think our brain doesn't have as much balance. It doesn't know how to handle them. We are able to mimic pleasurable effects. And a lot of the time - this is not "good" for us. In the social and moral sense.

People stay in bad relationships - often for the simple reason that they don't want to be alone. It's a coping mechanism. As drugs are. And everything else has the potential to be seen as the same thing.
 
Doing drugs in an evironment like skool where every1 is so ignorant of what drugs are, is funny - they are all so scared and amazed by me because i am the only person who regularly goes clubbing on E's - i am only 15. At first i liked having people ponder over me. Then i grew to love pills but it is so expensive i find myself debating over whether to. I regularly find myself daydreaming about having a bucket full of assorted ecstasies. I like being associated with drugs when ppl talk about me, e.g. "oh yeah, he's that druggo...". I guess its a substitute for scoring sex for me because girls only want to be my friend. I'd rather people would associate me with "oh yeah, he's fucked her and her and her" but thats impossible so i've opted for the drugs. I probably didnt answer ur question but thats the initial reason i do drugs now. Oh yeah, this sounds stupid but whenever i let myself take drugs i say to myself "this one will be awesome and after it i will feel fulfiled and no longer need anymore because i have experienced the best and can start spending money on other things"
 
Do any of you think life can be as enjoying or fulfilling without drugs? I mean, I'm sure some of us have had the mindset that nothing really was fun to us and concluded that drugs were the only fun things to life.

But, people on or off drugs, do you think that life can be as enjoyable without drugs? I mean truly enjoyable, not doing something and telling yourself "hey this is fun!" I mean something to kick the drugs themselves and replace their recreational value/enjoyment.

I personally can't find anything else as fun as drugs, altering your state completely and sending you to another reality.
 
No, I can't think of anything that would be an adequate substitute.

Why do you want people to associate you with fucking a lot of chicks? Reading you post, it seems to me that you're just looking for attention...though I may be wrong.
 
I have been doing drugs a lot this year. I just love them because they make me forget about everything that is wrong with my life. I would have to say that this year i went a little over board though. I say this because for a time i was not caring about anything, and the only people i cared about was my closist friends (drug buddies).LoL! I think that drugs are just a great way to feel the way i want to feel. I come from a broken home and drugs are just always there for me. Right now i am not doing drugs because i am really focusing in on school, but summer is almost here and that makes me both worried and happy. :\ I have have lost so much from drugs, but for some reason i really dont care. 8( I guess that is why i love them so much... anything can be made better when i do drugs.:D :\
 
I smoke weed atleast twice a day, sometimes more. basically to fill in a very large gap of nothing.
 
Gives me something to live for, feels like I'm worth keeping around to see how the next hit/shot/pill will feel
 
yah, i used OC's out of boredom, to fill the void of not having a girl, and forget about some of my past.

I quit cauz opiates suck you dry in too many ways.

Still blaze though. Weed just lets me chill out. Better than any benzo I've tried. :)
 
I use opiates for pain that is one reason. But ive used drugs since i was about 14 to fill a void and make myself feel "normal". Ive always felt like there was just something missing in my life or that my brain doesent quite work like so called normal peoples brains do. Turned out i was right on the latter since i have bipolar disorder.

Also being high and bored is better then being sober and bored cause it seems to pass the time faster. Which is rather odd since on the rare occasions i can catch a nod it feels like forever and yet it seems to pass faster in a weird fucking way. Perhaps it's as simple as i just don't feel so melancholic when im high.

I also feel really lonely alot of the time so that doesent help. Stress also up's my drug use and fuck knows ive had plenty of that this year already :! .
