why do you do drugs?

EveryStar said:
I hate how easily 90% of people seem to automatically think "If you do drugs, it's because you're very unhappy about your life / there's something fundamentally wrong at the root of all this / you have many unresolved issues you need to take care of / any other psychology bullshit." I mean, damn, it's like some people can't understand you can be (relatively, in my case) happy about your life, yet still do drugs.

I mean, honestly, the main reason I do drugs is just because they make me feel good, better than any state of consciousness you can achieve sober. I've heard so many times shit like "It's sad you can't achieve that level of happiness without drugs." (fuck, I just heard it today when someone told me they would never take MDMA because they can feel just as happy without any chemical assistance or some shit like that).

I don't do drugs to "escape" from any problems in my life, I don't do drugs because I am depressed or unhappy, I just do drugs because they make me feel damn good.
Better than almost anything I could ever feel while sober.

By the way, note that this mostly applies to the drugs whose main appeal is euphoria (opiates, MDMA, coke, etc). For example, I don't really take LSD, mushrooms or weed just to "feel good," LSD and mushrooms (and pretty much most psychedelics), I usually take to (and this will sound really fucking cheesy) explore the depths of my consciousness.
Or something like that.

how old are you?

i said that when i was in my teens.

turns out i was dead wrong.
 
Boredom and an escape from reality--well, I don't really want to seem like I'm running away from my life or problems. It's just a vacation where my mind can finally be at peace for a day or so.
 
psychedelics -> to expand the mind
opiates -> to contract the mind

i think the problem is that I cannot MAKE UP my mind ... 8)
 
These are perfect reasons . . . But I loved to explore my bounderies and live the life. . enjoying the moments . .
spiritual exploration and growth
creativity and seeking out beauty
bonding with friends/social value

I totally agree. They're at opposite ends of the same spectrum in that regard. Be careful, because it's extremely easy to slip into opiate addiction to contract the mind after using psychedelics. I know that my psychedelic use contributed to my opiate addiction because I was looking for a way to shut the doors I had opened. Opiates are GREAT at making one feel sane after the insanity of mind expansion!

Thanks, babe, but I'm just a little bit dope sick as we speak :\ ... new years resolution was to quit but totally fucked up and been bingin' on that brown all week ... damn ... oh well ... so it goes 8) See, this is my pattern ... get a little strung out, get a little sick, stop, have a moment of clarity, abstain for a while, repeat ... fuck ... what can you do, I guess? :!
 
I started doing oxys and d's because I was afraid of dirty street drugs. I started doing drugs to set myself apart from the richkid scumfucks i had to goto school with, then i became so physically dependent every 4 hours I NEED TO DO DRUGS (opiates, fent/oxy) and if i don't, send me to the ER, within 4 hours of a dose ill start getting the spins, unable to walk, vomiting, diarreah, extreme hot/cold, seizures, all those good things...

I agree with that. A lot of people who do drugs just because they want to appear to be self-destructive always try to play it out like that though. They just want attention and it is sickening. I am sure a few people do drugs to numb the pain that they may have going on in life, but not as many as people try to get you to think.

^ Don't be so pretentious to think you're expanding your mind when you do drugs.

Read a good book for once.

I read more books than anyone else I know of. :\

You were talking to me, right?


now, when i say... "curiosity",
what i really do mean is... "curiosity"

that means that i would like to know more about something.
yes, curiosity always means that.
:\


I don't think I am expanding my mind,
I think I am expanding my knowledge and experiences.
which is what i wanted in the first place.
hence,
why i do drugs:
to satiate my demanding intellectual curiosity.

I think I meant that for someone else dude, sorry though. I really mixed that up lol.

But what I was referring to I suppose, is in general when people say they do trips to "expand their mind" in the sense that as if if you do trips, you will somehow broaden your mind in a way that can't be done by being sober. When people say they trip to "open their mind".

I'm an asshole what can I say though.

The book comment was just to point out that many books can challenge your mind to a point that drugs can't really do. If you're a liberal, read Ann Coulter with an open mind, or as a conservative, read some Keynes.
 
because they make me feel gooooooooooood.

it started off as curiosity, but once i felt the sweet hand of opiates across my brain, it was set.
 
To open my mind, to process the countless thoughts I produce, to escape boredom
 
To escape my troubles, deal with depression, curb my bipolar episodes, open my mind, and to energize my soul.
 
I took them at first to expand my mind, and to try "new things". Now I do heroin because I'm physically & mentaly dependant on it, which is really a bitch.
