It doesn't have much to do with musicians - it's a psychological escape from "pain" usually and is very widespread throughout history, just because it's self "medication" makes it no less valid - getting high is about getting "not - low".\n\nA few people use it for spiritual experience/altered states and heavy drugs (alcohol included) can be lethal so mistakes happen -  alcohol and heroin stop your breathing, coke and x-tasy stops your heart and frys your brain (really turns all the lights on at once and leads to neurosis etc eventually depending on the person) . . . \n\nPeople who make a lot of "negative" statements about the use of drugs don't usually know much about the history - they've been around forever, but refined coke and heroin and "designer" chemicals are (modern plagues) new, concentrated and can be very dangerous. \n\nMany of these people didn't commit suicide (as in purposely end their life at that moment). It's far more complex than most are willing to even think about. They just make a simple uninformed judgement, it's sad because it doesn't help the situation out there to be blindly against something  - even drugs - remember drugs can save lives too

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, you are asking non- smokers why they don't understand that we need to smoke? The smokers smoke to alleviate stress, the more stress... the more we smoke. There how's that?

You see somebody and you like what you see. Nothing wrong with that at all. Then you realize that the somebody is you. Why would that change your feelings? Does not make you bad. And looking in the mirror is something you do when you are high. Is getting high now and then bad? I don't know of any culture where getting high was not practiced apart from the Eskimo's. I think a lot depends on how you get your high. And the people who tell you that you should not take that stuff are the same people who go then to their cup of tea and don't realize they need their 'fix'. But I would be careful. Take it easy.

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.

The funny thing about all these answers is that because THEY do it, they think that most people do too.  But that is not true.  Most of us know that the stoners are losers, but they are too stoned to realize it!

You get high and its the easiest way!\n\nPeople waste so much time in studies and work so hard to reach up a high point in their life, you are lucky you get high just smoking a pot of Ganja! \nIf i tell you it's bad you will ask for statistics, research studies and medical proofs. If i give all that , you have the right to refuse all the evidence. Its better that u continue and discover them urself

The essence of being high is this one moment of not worrying about anything, not feeling pain, and thinking that everything will be ok, it's a moment of bliss that so many people fail to find without the use of a some stimulant or depressant. For people who can't laugh, they laugh, for people who can't think straight, they see everything, for people who are always angry or depressed they're the opposite.  \nBut then, it all comes back & you try again & again until it gets harder & harder each time. \nSo in short, it's great, but there are long term problems if you let it control you.

Don't get high anymore. But when I used to get high I could talk backwards better than forwards. Weird for me but REALLY weird for the people on mushrooms who were having a bad ride.

Let them smoke! No one every got shot up because of weed. The man would make mad bread in the legalization of Mary Jane. Little Cesar's stock would go through the roof along with Lays and Twinkies. Pot heads are too busy being paranoid, in a constant state of munchdom or founding new religions. I'm not a smoker but all my friends are. Those kids always crack me up especially when we start science projects and they are geeked out their minds!

because your brain thinks the other person is stealing all the air so makes you yawn to try and get some yourself, therefore staying alive.\n\nThere's also that it's merely the power of suggestion.\n\nFound this also http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061031003314AAoMMUh

answer yourself honestly the question ..why am I doing it? there's a reason or reasons behind every users use. you may need a counselor or rehab to help you discover this.make a list of the pros to quitting ( more money for better things for one) what are you trying to cover up by being high? what do you gain from doing it over and over? these are things only you can answer an only to yourself .be honest an discover what better things can be in store for you by quitting.\n\nps. a relationship with God does help.he fills many gaps in people's lives

It usually starts with wanting to be one of the crowd, and then quickly turns into a serious addiction.\n\nPeople that smoke and drink are just loosers, they just don't know it yet.
