why do we love drugs? the effects, the science, just reading about them etc etc

and alot of people just dont? even if they have tried some good drugs, they just dont get "into it"

i personally think its the bad press drugs get, people don't want to be shunned from society, but if they took just a short time to educate themselves maybe the world be a better place, right?
 
When I was a little kid, I used to get pissed off playing the Lion King video game for Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It was hard! Then I decided to use cheat codes to make the experience a whole lot better, and it was.

Life is hard too. I cheat by using chemicals that alter my personal consciousness or reality. It feels good, real good.
 
I like to experience all the different forms of reality that the Universe has provided me in the form of psychedelics. Also two of my favorite things in life are comedy and music, and smoking weed greatly increases my enjoyment of both. I'm just fascinated by drugs in just about every way possible.

Reality cheat codes!
 
"Why do we love drugs?" Looking at everything in a state of full consciousness is really hard sometimes

This. All I was doing was covering up paranoia and the fear of rejection that makes me ruin almost everything. I shouldn't be forced to stay sober when I don't hold money well but I do work better/hold jobs better on dope. I guess I have alot of trust in my SO's money managing skill.

i find it sad tho that its very hard to find people that are actually into them as kind of hobbie if you know what i mean.

i can go out clubbing and see loads of people taking drugs that are normally shite quality and they boast about it, i think its mostly that drugs are "cool" i dont think they are like just to people thinking there hard taking drugs haha

very fare to find people into proper psychedelics
 
When I was a kid my grandfather would take me out onto the ocean in his boat. We would bob up and down on the water for hours. Then when we came back to land, I would lie on my back with my eyes closed and it still felt like I was bobbing up and down on water. I did it every time with delightful expectation.

Humans enjoy altering their consciousness in a multitude of different ways, and I really believe it's built into us. Curiosity is powerful in us as a species. Making some ways of getting altered legal while others not is going against nature.
 
Nice comparison.^

Really, I think it has to do with the fact that it...feels really good. I mean, before trying all those drugs, did you even think such sensations existed? Could you experience them some other way? I think not. It's a gift and a curse at the same time, knowing that sober life can never feel like that. That explains how people get addicted, not the worldwide interest though.

So I'm gonna go with - "drugs cheat codes for life"

I think this is mostly spot on, but not the full picture as many of the drugs I have taken were not because I hated the reality of the moment (with friends or even just smoking a bowl and watching a movie alone). Still, there is always an underlying notion, even in the simplest of times, that I am taking the substance to escape from something, someone, or some emotion.
 
^ I agree with this 100%. I both love and hate drugs, though. I've had great experiences with them, but I've put myself in very precarious situations and have inadvertently hurt myself, and more importantly, other people around me. Sobriety often feels monotonous and banal, too. Even when performing trivial tasks, I'd much rather be in an altered state of mind. There are some substances that I can now do recreationally, even though I may have abused them in the past, but there are others that I feel like I "need" more than "want". And I don't like that part. :(

This resonated with me. Its so true. Drugs create an unrealistic world, a cheat in the game if you will.

I think we can both agree curiosity is what gets us into drugs, not necessarily why we love them though. You suggest that humans naturally seek altered consciousness, and I agree. The change is refreshing.

Well I believe that some people have different chemical structures in their brains and they use drugs in order to fit the "norm", or in other words feel "normal".
 
I believe that we enjoy drugs because part of human nature is the neverending seeking of pleasure, and drugs do that. They high jack our pleasure centers and make us want to use them. I also believe that society today is all about instant gratification, people want things instantly and drugs deliver immediate pleasure and all you had to do was eat/drink/inject/smoke/snort it.
