Why do people do drug?

It's interesting to push the human boundaries. Especially with psychedelic drugs. It's just interesting to see what the mind is capable of. I like comparing it to a rollercoaster...why do we ride them? Because they are intense and fun. It's in human nature to "bend" consciousness...think of a little child that finds it immensely funny to spin around on one spot so it feels dizzy and "out of it".\n\nOf course there's also people that only do them to fit in...or to forget about their problems.\n\nEdit:\nWow, unbelievable how biased all these people are! I wonder how many of them drink.

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.

Drug addicts and alcoholics suffer from a disease. This disease usually results in consequences which are socially repugnant. At some point, these people have an insight to the fact that continued indulgence in drugs/alcohol will not be tolerated and will inevitably destroy them and all that's around them (true)-they then make a choice to keep going or get help. It is hard to sympathize with them unless they try to change. A couple of outstanding features of addiction is incredible selfishness as well as an amazing capacity to manipulate others. If we hand someone the "Victim" label, they will most likely run with it and use it to their own end. The stats are bleak for recovery.

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.

More and more people have an emptiness within them and instead of finding a healthy way to fill it, like yoga or exercise, they fill it with drugs and alcohol. More people need to look within themselves and find out why they are hurting and fill their souls with something good for them...\nI speak from experience and still growing..

Lord only knows why people get into drugs, but if i have learned one thing it is that IF THEY DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO. It usually takes a life altering event for them to snap back to reality and realize that what they do effects everyone around them. \n   Sorry and good luck!

The War on Drugs is Bul&&&&t, alls its doing is putting more Mo&&&&ther&&&kers in jail, thats all its doing.  Why, because people want to get high, there's people on this ANSWERS.Yahoo that are looking at their wathches, wondering when they can get way to take a hit.\n\nYou can take away all the blow, all the joints, all the ice, all the 8-ball, guys will still want to get high.  They'll become scientists and go behind their houses, "hey check this out dude, you take a baby's bottle, fill it with a little gasoline and dead lima beans, suck this you'll be f&&&cked up"\n\njust kidding, i never touch the sh&&T.

drugs do a lot of nasty things to the body, especially when you're a kid and still growing up. messing with the systems drugs take advantage of can change the progress of development and lead to long term changes/problems in drug users over people who don't use drugs.

because there are too many things going through thier head at once.  Drugs make you stop thinking, escape problems, but they are always waiting when you return so you have to do more.

Hey I'm 18-- The reason teens do drugs, smoke, and drink is because it makes you look better also, when you're having a horrible day it feels soooooo good to just get high or drunk to let all your problems go because when you're high you don't have to think about every thing that's happening. The reason teens have problems with parents is because they are closed minded. I mean like when you've had a bad day your folks try to say they know what its like but they don't know what it feels like to be you because the would is way different than in the 1970's or 80's. The world is a bad place to grow up in and I wish for once that they would just listen to me and agree that life isn't fair. That's the reason kids do drugs.

Drugs and not using them
604115
Yes, you can get addicted to just about anything, and I bet it can ruin your life the same way hard drugs can. It's the same as alcohol and cigarettes - why are they legal? Because so may people use it and like it and they would be outraged if they had it taken away. People like to think that because it is legal they don't have a problem and they have this attitude that they are so much better than other addicts whose drug of choice is crack or heroin or meth. If it's legal people can feel less guilty.

Why do people do stuff like that?

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

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.
