Why are we all so addicted to drugs?

What is good in doing drugs? it is literally ruining my life, I can't enjow anything without them and even though I think to have a total control on it I know I have not... I am snorting in any occasion I have abd if I have no occasion I create a new one just to do it.

Drugs Sucks, we have to face it before the end of everything.

I'm a drug addict and don't believe drugs have ruined my life. I see it as an accompaniment to the enjoyment of life. I see it as a way for me to remain competitive as I get older. But you are right in that often there is a fine line b/w success and disaster with drugs. I've been one for a long time, maybe close to how long you've been alive. I might have popped my first pill while you were still a sperm cell looking for that egg to fertilize.

What you don't specify are the different classes of drugs. Weed, LSD, opioids, etc etc are all very different addiction profiles and personal failure rates.

Drugs have enabled me to live a somewhat normal life. Without drugs, I would probably be close to bedridden. While I do abuse drugs, drugs are something that is needed for me to have an enjoyable life - not just for the high but for the painkilling properties. That's what makes drug use so complicated for me. Its not as black and white as just quitting. I'd need something else to make me functional and really nothing beats the morphine standard (alhtough I take synthetic opioids, you get the point).

But obviously in your situation drugs have not been a positive influence in your life. You should quit in that case. There are some people who can use and not have it negatively impact your life. You are not one of them unfortunately, probably no fault of your own as I tend to believe addiction is genetic. Best of luck to you.

To quote NOFX, "drugs are good, they make you do things you know you not should. And when you do them people think that you're cool."

Not everyone here is a drug addict. I don't use drugs on a daily basis.

The key to successful drugging is moderation. Learn that, and you won't be submitting hate posts about drugs to reddit.

drugs make me able to function normally, without them I'd be in miserable pain everyday as I have severe spinal injuries.

I'm not addicted to drugs. I'm a responsible adult who likes to get high and escape reality. I use in moderation.

Not our fault you're a fiend buddy and have fried yourself

I enjoy lots of drugs and would not call myself addicted. I just recently stopped using everything except for weed for a few months because my work load is changing and I need a clear mind right now, and I haven't noticed much. This here is why drugs are illegal, because some people can't beat the drugs, but drugs aren't the issue, the person is.

Addicted? I guess i would call myself a functioning addicted. Can hold 2 jobs and study full time and still have time to pot 5mg of Etizolam and chill and smoke a bowl.

same reason cheaters cheat: the thrill. or liars lie. Once you taste "the thrill" it's hard to go back to same boring life
