Getting to the point ...
I'll post this with 2 conditions to the question. The first is, I expect better answers than the simple 'to get fucked up'. Don't bother if that's all you got right now.


Every drug has it's attraction and purpose. Each person has their preference. But at the core - why do you do it? Is it for the sensations - the sounds, tactile feedback, etc? Is it for exploration of yourself, of those around you during the time? Is it simply an escape (which in my book falls to the 'get fucked up reason)? What are you after, and why do you do it? Does the drug get you there?




Second condition? I'm fucked up right now ;) And the mods can delete this if they wish. But I think the point still stands - why do you do drugs?
 
I think for me it's mostly a boredom killer. That and it just makes my life a whole lot more interesting.
 
When decided to try ecstasy it was because I wanted to change. I wanted to open myself up to the world and just let go. And it did just that. That drug saved my life as far as I was concerned, it allowed me to finally become me and put aside petty things. Rolling every so often became my way of getting closer to my friends and understanding myself and my place in this world. Its also my way of indulging in my great love for trance music, ecstasy allows me to feel and hear every string, chord, everything...

My heroin usage is about holding on to my carefree days as a child. When I was very young I was very sick for a while and the doctor had prescribed me some sort of opiate. Of course I was young and unaware of such things at the time. But I remembered quite well how I felt when I took the mystery substance for years. Peaceful. Calm. Deep thoughts. No more pain. I think part of love affair with opiates is that in some way being under the influence of them takes em back to being a kid, I associate that good feeling with the carefree days of my child hood in a sense. I finally realized at certain age that opiates were why I felt that way and I pursued them. Finally coming across heroin and fixing up and drifting in to a carefree trance, no worries about work, school, my home life, nothing. Like being a kid again. Feeling innocent. God like almost. The deeper you stick it in your vien the deeper the thoughts there is no more pain. I also do it for the sense of elitism as a background reason. Not many can say they IV heroin.

As time went on though and I really got out into the world and became involved with dealing, drama, and the harsh reality of life, heroin became and still is a way for me to forget about the evils and sins I commit on a daily basis and my hard knock life. It helps me be happy when otherwise I have to pretend to to be happy. I keeps my bi-polarity and split personality in check.

Its bittersweet. Its also my fate as far a I'm concerned.

Guido Edit: Now I have made myself nauseas posting this...

My reasons vary from drug to drug. Most of the time I use them for the simple pleasures I derive from them: Euphoria, indifference(Opiates/Benzos). Some of them for their utility, like helping me sleep(NonBenzos), calming me down(Nicotine), or giving me extra energy(Caffeine). Others I use because they can be an invaluable tool for self-relfection(Psychedelics), while others still can foster communication and bonding with a friend or loved one(Empathogens). And yeah, ocassionally I do just feel the need to get fucked up(Alcohol).

I guess you could say they all "get me there," as in they all serve their purpose. If they didn't I wouldn't bother using them.
 
I guess I never really asked myself "why?" before, I just love drugs. Plain and simple. I've never had the desire to stop and honestly, I doubt I could even if I wanted to. It's like asking why people love sex, they just do, it just feels great. It's a natural human thing, and I really feel it's the same for drugs too. Humans always have and always will seek altered states of mind.
I know this sounds really bad, but I'd honestly rather be a hardcore drug addict then never use another drug again. I'd feel differently if I never tried drugs to begin with sure, because I wouldn't know what I was missing, but ever since I took that first hit of weed almost 6 years ago, I've been on a frantic and neverending quest to do drugs.
I not "addicted" to any single drug and I never have been, but I think I'm "addicted" to doing drugs in general.
Drugs have cost me countless dollars, girlfriends, the respect of others, and so many other things my drug ravaged mind can't think of at the moment. I'm sure it'll most likely be my drug use that'll eventually be my downfall, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
Sorry, TLB :( I just realized I didn't even answer your question at all...maybe I just need to do some more drugs.:)

I laughed.:D
 
I like opiates because of how good musics feels and sounds on them, writing, drawing, playing music and doing other creative things come out easier too. Of course the euphoria and constant warm massaging sensations are a plus.
And, I last much much longer during sex, and then when I finally do get it off it sends me to a whole new level of ooooh-laaaah.

I like smoking weed because of how music sounds and feels, and the way colors look, especially in nature. I also understand that pot raises your glucose(sugar) levels, and Im hypoglycemic(low blood sugar). So it seems natural that I would crave weed for this effect... > ?

I like alcohol for many reasons, the basis of which are; alcohol CAN be an art, and it gives an excuse to be obnoxious.

;)
 
Opiates became my drug of choice for a number of reasons, but above all else I believe it's the warm, maternal-like embrace that opiates provide that keeps me attatched to them.

After I moved out on my own and away from my family and friends, I began to develop alot of anxiety as a result of having to suddenly try and live life on my own while undergoing the pressures of school and holding down a steady job. Getting high on opiates seemed to alleviate all of that anxiety and take me back to that feeling of being a 5 year old with not a care or responsiblity in the world with the exception of just living to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

It may sound cheesy and wrong, but a nice shot of IV heroin is like being a kid again and getting that reassuring hug from your mother that everything is ok in the world...everything will be alright.

Of course, this feeling...this "high"....is entirely artificial and I'm harshly reminded of that every time I come down. Especially when I developed a dependency and experienced withdrawals for the first time.

Anyway, that's why I fell hard for opiates above all the rest.

for me because the whole point of life is to have fun, and drugs are just the best way of having fun. thats so simple for me. i used to think certain drugs are for mind expanding/enhancing too, but i found it stupid now cause you dont need ANY DRUG to expand/enhance your mind,

you can do it without drugs too, reading, traveling, experiencing different cultures, talking with people or even just thinking and questioning by yourself can do it too.

i've been abusing various drugs nearly 10 years and now i got bored most of them (opiates, hallucinogens, cannabinoids, stimulants etc). now when i look at the mirror i see a person fully satisfied about drugs (specially opiates) and dont need and want anymore most of them. the only things i do now is downers (specially benzos and barbs) and its just for relaxing, chilling and being calm, feel the peace inside my mind. it can be also fun too when you overdo it from time to time:)
 
I do drugs for so many reasons. There is a different reason each time I get high.
The first time I did each drug, the reason was curiosity.

Every time after that was to explore. Explore different states of consiousness, see reality in different ways.
To explore sensations more deeply. To be able to focus on the present more readily.
To feel. To numb. To release. To enhance.
For the elite factor.
To have stories to tell.
Because I want to. Because it's all I can think about sometimes. Because it feels good. Because some people disapprove. Because my parents both like being intoxicated, although we never, ever do it together. Because it feels so good to dance when I'm high. Because it's a way to; relax, to entertain, to enrich. To enlighten. To get a rush. To get those warm fuzzies. To feel like everything is ok. To meditate. To feel. To love.

Because I'm fucked up right now.
 
It's hard to explain, but I'm guess I'm just interested in experiencing something so different from what I'm used to. Just thinking about how much your perception of things can be altered by something as simple as eating a pill, smoking a plant, etc is interesting and somewhat complex.

Exploring how substances can change the basis of reality is something I want to experience for myself. It's amazing.
 
I use drugs to feel how I never could feel naturally. Also, to kill boredom and time...
 
I use new drugs to experience every state of consciousness that I can, but drugs I use regularly are usually to party. I use speed/meth(and stims) to endure a whole weekend of partying with a nice high to go with it. I use MDMA to go raving and dance like I couldnt sober. LSD and Ketamine are for thinking outside my normal thoughts, for inspiration and I always feel like my life has a new start after I use psychedelics. Coke is just to feel like a king party like a king.

Benzo's and opiates are to escape, they provide euphoria with the "I dont give a fuck feeling" which I love and I suppose weed is to escape too as it basically depletes my brain of any intellegent thoughts.
 
I use different drugs for different reasons.

LSD / ketamine / mushrooms . To experience new thoughts and ideas, and perhaps to learn things about myself along the journey.

opioids - That song heroin by velvet revolver has a line that explains why I use them perfectly. To nullify my life.

benzos - to take care of stress and make me not so worried about having panic attacks all the time. And to help with social anxiety.

Amphetamines - To be productive and get things done.

cocaine - To feel brilliant, talkative, awake,alert calm and alive . Cocaine that isn't cut with other actives is great. I've been using this shit alot lately though so i needto take a break

Exstacy - for the great feeling, the love, the openness, the wonderful time.

LSD - for the beautiful visions, the places it takes me, for a break from this reality.

Heroin - for the pleasurable euphoria, for a break from this world & it's problems & all together.

Coke\Crack\Meth(cathinone) - for euphoria.

Benzos - to escape, to be calm, to don't give a fuck & be cool, to get fucked up.

Weed\Hash - to break the boredom, alone or with friends as kind of activity, to get fucked up.

That's more or less what I did drugs for...
 
For me it started as to explore , but I was young, so I decided to explore the limits of reality, I started with weed, which taught me what to expect from drugs. Acid to make me expolore my own mind and better understand myself. Mushrooms, same reason. Then E, Oh my god E, The euphoria it gave me, after that, i looked for that euphoria, and eventually found Oxycontin,Diladid and Fentanyl, I was in heaven, I do them just for the sensations, the good feeling, the feeling that your ontop of the world, and you feel so good nothing can bring you down. I geuss im after the good feeling, the "reward" you get from euphoric drugs. Its just so amazing that you can even feel that good, so i figure why not feel that good all the time? so im always after that buzz.
