Why? act II

[Zombie]

...drugs or booze?

I'm asking "why" when I know I could have also asked "how". Similar, in my opinion.

So to all the "druggies" and boozers out there, what made you do drugs and alcohol? And what is making you still on it now?(if you are)
Was it to escape reality? To get away from all the trouble in your life?

What about your "inhibitions"? was it to get over them that you did these substances? you wanted to be more sociable? funny with women? angrier in bed?

Do you simply do them for sheer pleasure? to feel really really happy? (to feel happier? aren't you happy enough when you're sober?)

Am i asking too many questions?

I didnt start using drugs for any of those reasons. I tryed drugs for the first time because so many people said not to. People often will try to keep something good from others. Its just in my nature to want to try things myself and experience them myself.

Drugs are a good time. My friend Bil and I sometimes try too see how many drugs we can do and how fucked up we can get. Its a game we like to play like soccer or baseball. I know I cant fly and that kinda pisses me off, but when Im high as a kyte I dont need to fly. So I guesse I use drugs to give myself more power thn I real have.

I started doing drugs because I was bored and curious. I always wondered what being high was like and I finally got a chance to find out. Also it broke up the monotony. I started drinking because it was fuckin fun to go get trashed and party or hang out with your friends.

I started doing MJ and drinking partly cuz it was fun but mostly cuz it gave me an escape from the shittiness of life...lol Hm...maybe thats why im still doing the same? :huh:

[Dirty Commie]

I drink to esacape the cruel reality of life. I at times can't bear that fact that their is so much terrible shit happening in the world while fat corporate slobs live the high life above and beyond the law.

and everyone had a go at me in the legalise Mary J thread for sayin &#39;i think many people use it for escapism&#39; <_<

[Dirty Commie]

Alot of the pot smokers I know use it as an escape, however, they complain that "school&#39;s too hard" and that is their reasoning.

Zombie has obviously never had Tequila, oh it tastes so good..........and after quite alot it eases the pain of life

I think your problem was more that you where using that as a reason for it being illegal.

[hawarameen]

no reason, just did it for the crack&#33;

[Umoja]

First time I did it, was more to say I did it and to understand most pot jokes, which oddly all become clear after a session with your friends, and their plant like friend.

honstley,

WHY well i am going to break that down,

WHY start:- Selfish attitude toward life whilst being a teenager,

WHY Continue:-

I enjoy it becuase of:-

escapism, to make those dull situations featured in the monotonous cycles you go through on a daily basis, that little bit lighter

Social structure to the smoker that is ME there is a life that is involved inside cannabis a structure of stoning and having a laugh with your mates same with going to the pub,

i don&#39;t try drugs for purposes other than self entertainment and experience

Now i just go with the flow it is a learning curve just like life and certain combinations of drugs can make nights interesting and very dangerous

I just want to escape the world of depression, worries, and sadness, and enter a world of merriment, and happiness... Sometimes I just want to stop caring for others... I&#39;ve spent the last week helping a friend, because her friend shot himself in the head, and another friend of mine just got raped... Sometimes I just don&#39;t want to care...

[Danton]

I smoke hash to immerse myself in reality not escape it, I drink to relieve the paranoia brought on by too much hash smoking. I snort coke to allieviate the symptoms of too much drinking and I take heroin to bring me down from the coke. Repeat...

[Dhul Fiqar]

I started because I was always told I would - and I was always told I might have problems with drugs (specifically alcohol) because of my family history.

I made a conscious decision and effort to use them excessively - I was never interested in being a casual user. There is some romance to addiction in my mind - even though the reality of addiction is hellishly unattractive in most respects.

I probably would have ended-up doing lots of drugs anyhow, but it STARTED with ritalin.

When I was 11, I started taken it to "concentrate" in school. My psychiatrist was a crazy asshole. He gave me way more than I needed, and as I didn&#39;t really do any better in school they kept giving me more. Sometimes I was just right fucking wired in class, and being a stupid little kid I didn&#39;t really realise that it was the pills (I bassically thought that it was just because I was wierd).

One time when I was 12 it felt like the classroom was tilting forward and I was gonna fall forwards over my desk. At the time I assumed that I was fucked in the head. It was&#39;t intill I was 13 and had a similar experience while abusing the stuff, that I realised it was the ritalin that used to make me feel that way. People used to call me a crackhead, and I kind of assumed for a while as an adolescent, that it was my destiny. Even my dad used to call me a "pipe dreamer" before I ever did drugs to get high; he also used to tell me about how I would deffinitly be a bum on the street when I was older....


.... Anyhow I&#39;m older (21) now, I&#39;m not a bum on the street, and I haven&#39;t touched ritalin since I was 19. :P

[Xvall]

Mostly for experimentation. Partly because I like it. Same reason people eat candy, or play games. It&#39;s fun; it feels good. Not something you should devote your life to, however.

[canikickit]

My friend looked like he was having fun, so I decided to give it a shot.

I continue to do drugs to this day just because I enjoy them, it&#39;s nice.
