why do people do drugs?
147781
some people feel the need to make thier problems go away by not facing them. The only problem is they dont relize once the drugs have wore off the problem is still there but worse, so they do more drugs. And some people just like the energy some drugs can give them and the feeling of having control of there life (even though they obviously dont have control...the drugs do. And the amazing feeling you can get after smoking a big fat one.

Unfortunately and shamefully, I did do drugs in my past. My drug of choice was Cocaine. I regret it, and I am ashamed. It makes you turn into a completely different person. A person who steals, even from your loved ones! Makes you more aggressive and unreasonable, foolish acting, you lie,  you sneak and hide, you jeapordize your relationship with others, do things that you never thought you would do, you become unbelieveably selfish, your health is effected, etc...I know! And let me tell you it's not worth it! Not worth it at all. So if you've never done drugs...do you and your loved ones a favor and don't start. You will regret it. And if you're currently going through problems with drugs, seek help, and turn to God. Take care and God bless.\n\nJesus loves you.

They are the drug dealers of relegion.  The try to get you to try something so that you will get hooked and then keep going back to them for further doses.

For the same reason all drugs tend to be shunned.  People do not know how to use them in moderation.  They use and use and let it take over their lives.  If drug use did not become the only thing in a users life, it may be more accepted.  Alcohol is a good example.  Some people can drink and then not drink for months, but others live only to drink.  This tends to happen more with other drugs.  Alcoholics = Junkies.

No one wants to be a drug addict or alcoholic, but this doesn’t stop people from getting addicted. The most commonly asked question is simply - how? How could my son, daughter, father, sister, or brother become a liar, a thief, someone who cannot be trusted? How could this happen? And why won’t they stop?\n\nThe first thing you must understand about addiction is that alcohol and addictive drugs are basically painkillers.  They chemically kill physical or emotional pain and alter the mind’s perception of reality.  They make people numb.\n\nFor drugs to be attractive to a person there must first be some underlying unhappiness, sense of hopelessness, or physical pain.

You become addicted to it.  You want more at any cost.  It gives you a thrill, but you don't see what it is destroying.   You lose sight of what you are giving up and only see what you think you are gaining.  Too much power can lead to death, as with too many drugs.

somtimes people crave marijuana because it gives them a  nice high. Its an addictive drug. while people are high it may give them a feeling of beimg powerful or they may feel happier than they do regularly. Once most people are addicted to the drug they cannot fuction properly without and go into a dpressed state of mind, it also calms your nerves when ur feeling stressed or angry.

Because they are addictive both mentally and physically. Your body is telling you one thing, but your mind is much more powerful than you think. Maybe you enjoy that lifestyle? Maybe everything around you reminds you of what you used to do when you were on these drugs? Certain things may trigger off a memory, a situation may remind you of when you did this...\n\nTry changing your environment, changing the people you hang out with, changing your lifestyle? It may be hard, but remember that this is your life, and sometimes we got to think about us for a change, and what we want, and what we have to do for ourselves!\n\nGood Luck!

Because people are ignorant about it and think it's worse than legal drugs.  And it's hard to change a moron's mind.\n\nAlcohol:\nDoes more damage to your body.\nCauses more accidents.\nMakes people do angry stupid things.\n\nMarijuana: \nmellows people out.\nMakes people get along with each other better.\n\nThere's really no comparison.

Most try them out of curiosity.  Good thing now is that the side effects are advertised everywhere, so young people are less likely to try them for that reason (unless they are idiots).  However there are also things such as stress and depression that lead to drug use.  \nDrugs make you feel good.  They provide a feeling of happiness that the person most likely isn't getting from the real world.  Sometimes you feel like you're on a cloud, not worried about reality at all.  Which is the escape most addicts are looking for.\nFor soft core drugs (which I'd say are alcohol and marijuana) it's more of a relaxing feeling that is being sought.  Of course this is just from my experience, and I'm sure there are those who wish to abuse even those drugs.\nThe world is undoubtedly a harsh, and cruel place to live.  Some people just don't have the coping skills to get by within it.  Which is why rehab and therapy are so valuable.  They can teach those people who are addicted ways to feel happy naturally, and to deal with their problems without using drugs.

Some people do cocaine to keep them going, it wakes them up so they think and they can get a lot done on the go...I guess.

Because it can make you feel emotions that you cant feel, but want to. Some people have nothing to feel good about,or they have things that make them feel a little good, but are not experiancing anything that makes them feel very good. Theres nothing that is good that they can get excited about, and they feel that life is not worth living, because they feel bad emotions much more then they feel good. When they take meth, they may feel good and they are excited about feeling good,and they feel more alive. Meth does this by screwing up the chemistry in your brain. If they stop taking meth they go back to a life that is mediocre at best, so they will want to get high on meth again. They continue to take meth and it changes their brain, so that they believe that have to get more meth, no matter what consequences will be suffered. This may sound crazy, but that's the deal an addict makes with meth. he trades his mental health for some good emotions.
