Why do you take drugs?

drug use is very reinforcing in the fact that life is all about ups and downs, lows and highs, good times and bad times.
 
CURIOSITY is what made it TRY it.. REALIZATION that i can use these substances to learn more about myself and the world around me made me stick to it.

with Ecstacy, i can feel things no one else has felt unless youve been on the pill. a hug is never just a hug again after you've dropped =) it opened up my mind. helped me learn how to work through any issue life has with a smile on my face.

weed made me hear music like ive never heard it before, made me relax and laugh my ass off at something like i was 5 years old again.

mushrooms, i can be thrown onto a higher reality where i can see things no one has seen and delve into the depths of my mind like a trip into my dreams cept im awake and can control it.

alcohol, i tried out of curiosity but didnt like it. makes me feel like im loosing brain cells ;)


---and thats all ive tried so far.
 
I take drugs because:
1) To get more energy and things done when I want to
2) Because I want to let loose and dance and party all night long
3) Simply because they are THERE and I just WANT TO
4)When I cant get to sleep, need to relax and just nod off
5) Because sex on pills is an awesome way to spend an evening or Sunday afternoon
6)The fun times I have had on drugs previously makes me want to keep doing it again and again :)
 
At first I used drugs to find myself and put a direction on my life. I used MDMA to see how beautiful life really is and is worth living.

Now I take drugs to fill a gap in me from losing someone I loved. Coke, Opiates, crack, coke binge then heroin to sleep. Now I'm empty and just living for the next time I can waste all of my dopamine and serotonin.

Drugs were once so great. Now they are terrible.
 
I guess your question was referring to illicit drugs. Refined sugar is a "drug" and you probably had some with breakfast. But I think that human beings naturally want to get fucked up, it's cathartic. Drugs are just another (easy) route to the same destination that working out, bikram yoga and disciplined meditation takes you.
 
It's all about the state of mind...

sometimes I inebriate myself when
I'm depressed and want to forget about my problems
other times its to laugh and celebrate
then again there's the worthy cause of mental enlightment
usually though I just want to feel connected.
 
why?

to see things differently.
to talk to god
to talk to myself
to see what i have been doing wrong
to remember what i have been doing right

just a few
 
Because it's my way of rewarding myself after accomplishing something.

It's a way to enhance experiences with friends that otherwise i would never experience.

It opens my mind to thoughts and different opinions i would have never thought without the drugs.

And finally, the most obvious, because its damn fucking fun!
 
•Marijuana helps me to be relaxed and high.
•Alcohol is for social lubrication and ability to lose my inhibitions
•MDMA changed my life for the better by giving me a positive perspective on life. But after that 1st time, i now do it to express my emotions to people close to me.(and make music better at parties/raves/night clubs)[Oh and make me super happy and feel empathy with others]{theres lots more, but this has been my #1 drug that changed my life the most}
•Mushrooms made me realize how our world can be warped into ways no sober person can ever imagine, it helped me become more creative.
•Opiates relax me, and help me go through the day with out a care in the world, they also make my body feel pleasant.
•Others back up, and/or add-on to all the experiences i've already had with previous substances. They help me understand who i really am through a spiritual perspective.

LOL ya fuckin smartass. i hear that sarcasm in there dont try and hide it lol.
 
i don't know if it's worth it or not

sometimes it pays off with creative inspiration, though

and it's nice to feel like a demi-god every now and then :D
 
I used to take drugs as a way to escape from my real feelings, and that's totally the wrong way to go about it... in that case, the benefits are virtually nonexistant, and the risks are so numerous that they're impossible to really assess.

Now I take drugs because I loooove the experiances I get from them, and sometimes it's great to just let all hell go loose for a night :) and in this case, the benefits are fantastic!! and as long as you're relatively responsible, the risks are pretty low...
 
For the life experience. I am intent on enjoying the pleasures and the downers of as many aspects of life as possible. Be it enjoying a foreign country or taking something thats a little more 'mind expanding'.

You only live life once, try to experience it.
 
well i use marijuana medicinally, thats y i started taking it - liked that so got into the utha psychedelics
i started taking meth wen i got into competitive endurance riding, to enhance the experience which can b rather tiring
its all mainly 4 fun :\
 
Knowledge about a drug greatly reduces the risks of it, so I don't think I'm taking huge risks. Most of the "risks" that I was taught about in High School are propaganda. As long as you are responsible with your drug use I don't see a huge problem, as long as it makes you happy.

I smoke weed, do shrooms, and occasionally do whipits or pharms (rarely), and drink alcohol. I've cut way back on my drug use...

I smoke weed because I like the way it feels, I like to be relaxed and be able to laugh about stupid things. I only smoke weed with my friends, I don't like smoking weed before school because I know it affects my grades and I like to be 100% at school.

I do shrooms because I can attain a higher level of conciousness. I like the feeling of knowing everything and the happiness the drug brings you.

Nitrous is fun to do on an occasional basis (I'd do it more but I'd rather spend my money on weed or shrooms) its a nice quick high and it makes you so happy.

Alcohol makes me more social and I have a good time as long as I drink in modoration and sometimes not (but if I don't hit puking drunk im fine).

I've done a lot of other stuff and I've either never seen the beauty of the drug, or I didn't like the risks I was taking, or I didn't think the risks outweighed the benifit.
 
psychedelics I use to gain greater insight into my problems and allow me to look at them from a new perspective in which I apply to my sober life

dissociatives are simply put the best escape =D

opiates I more or less use to drown out the inner mental chatter. I suppose you could consider it an escape more or less although I use them infrequently.

stimulants for cleaning or studying.
