I really always wonder what ppl get out of doing drugs...I have tried weed and hated it and that is all i have ever tried had an ex who did weed, mushrooms, coke, and anything else he could... that is why he is my ex drug use destroys lifes and I will never be put in a situation where I have to watch someone waste their life and the others around them...and they dont think anything is wrong with it and you should understand. What do you think about this???

I think everyone wants to escape reality from time to time. Unfortunately, the ways we do it vary greatly. I can't understand addiction because my brain is not wired that way. I can grasp the concept of escaping the world with a buxx so you don't have to think but I don't do it. For me the best way to escape for a while is a good bok or music. I can easily get sucked into those things and forget for awhile.
We do have to understand that everyone is different and try to work with that. I had a smoke once tell me about addiction and he said, "Would you say you are addicted to breathing? Then try to stop breathing one day and you may understand why it is a hard thing to do."

Drugs i think are really bad for people it messes up their life like friendships you get atticted to it and can't stop and want more then your health gets worse smoking is even more bad if you smoke to many packs in one day you could get cancer. My friends mom smoked alot and she would really cough bad cause of her lungs and smoking it took her life she died in her sleep one day i think her heart gave out.

Seriously, I think that drugs make us feel / think differently than in our normal lives. It is a way to escape our normal thoughts and thus escape our lives. Unfortunately many of the problems occur because of substance abuse, so ultimately they cause more problems and don't solve anything.
One last funny that I saw on the internet about drug abuse:

Do you smoke cigarettes?

Reality can be really a downer sometimes, and life, even when it's good, can be a little mundane. That's why a lot of people turn to drugs.

To escape the harsh reality of the world probably. That is how I think of it at least. Escape mechanisms. They just alter your mindset. So if your normal mindset is harmful, such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, I always wonder what the big problem is?
-
I'm going with most of the people on here, to escape reality. They probably think it's an easy coping mechanism.
-
I think that insecurity and low self-esteem have a lot to do with drug use. Either you have an excuse for not being good at something('because I was high) or you indulged too heavily in the euphoria that comes with many drugs. I think that some people have a genetic disposition that pushes them towards substance abuse. I think that others start off small and when they can't achieve the high that they got with one substance (even alcohol) they move on to something more potent which starts a whole downward spin as they become more and more dependant on the high. Pretty soon they lose touch with reality and close off all sources of help.

well when you are hooked on drugs its not easy its like getting over an ex or a loved one that just t it takes you so far it takes all the pain away and putpassed, you have control bus you in a total diffrent world its actually lovely but not good at all i'm 5 years clean from herion,weed, and cigarrets and i actually love my life i done all these drugs to get over my brothers murder which was devistating i can't believe i made it throught the funeral. But once your on it you go through he@@ trying to get off of it it is really hard take my advice you don't want to do drugs you get hated by everyone they don't trust you in when your sick kicking your legs because they hurt so bed they won't give you money . Stay away from any drug they're no gfood please.

They choose to do so. We all have things in our lives we may want to escape from sometimes, but we all choose the mode in which we do so.

Ever done drugs? They are pretty awesome. That's why they are so addictive

to escape reality and to live in their on little world i know because my daughter is a recovering addict
-
I think it is horrible! I believe people do drugs because somewhere inside of them they are in some kind of horrible pain that they can't share with anyone. Although my heart goes out to them I can't have that kind of element in my life it's just too dangerous. Be strong and stand firm. You beat it walk away and just keep on going. Many,many blessings to you. :wave:

False. "Weed", (marijuana), is a plant which contains the drug THC, (tetrahydrocannabinol). Drugs can be, (and are), both natural and synthetic.

I don't care how much your desire to censor someone else who has just as much freedom to post here as you do causes you to keep making censorous requests. Posting and quoting what was posted is neither "following" nor 'stalking'. These are in fact, false accusations stemming from faulty perceptions. Once again, any FC member can quote and reply to posts made by any other member and you're false characteriztions directly indicate that you remain unable to comprehend that fact.
Additionally, you were incorrect about "weed" not being a drug. I provided contrary evidence which showed that you were in error. That was contextual to the post, no matter how much you want to make false complaints.

Just like people take a drink to unwind or have a glass of wine to mellow out, some people take drugs and I guess if some drugs (not the hard ones) werent so horribly addictive and could be used in moderation, there wouldn't be a problem. But with so many people dying from their addiction to drugs, I don't understand what would make anyone even want to try it.

ia gree drugs are stupid but first of all weed isnt a drug. its a plant...
....and you smoked waaaay too much of that plant which accounts for the piles of dead brain cells you're carrying around and using on this forum? I'll play. Let's go with your theory here and I say opium is not a drug either. It comes from the plant Papaver somniferum as does heroin, morphine, codeine and others. Everyone knows heroin and the other drugs I mentioned have absolutely NO bad side effects like addiction and dying when you OD - they are just from a plant, right? Ooooh, cocaine is derived from a plant too isn't it?! Yeah, those harmless little coca leaves gettin' a bad rap all the way around. Who doesn't want a friend, child, or spouse taking them down over some harmless white powder or a nice chunk of crack?
I could go on with a whole list of 'plants' (hmm, how IS alcohol made...), but it's not worth it. The [un]original statement that "weed isn't a drug" has been used to death. I'm surprised you didn't also add, "God put all these plants on the earth for man to use, so they can't be bad."

its not a man made substance..its a plant that grows...
man made substance is worse isnt it? so why berate me on the subject where this is a fact? it boggles my mind..who does worse nature or human? you taking it a black and white issue.. first of all nature dont control us only we do. its ppls will to make a good or bad. so dont blame the plant blame yourself..
and thats and understatement of you to think so.. so typical of you to judge me that i think think that way..

Marijuana, ("weed"), is a plant which contains the DRUG tetrahydrocannabinol, (also known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or, THC), which is the principal psychoactive constituent of the cannabis plant. It's still a drug, even if it's not manmade. The information you posted was inaccurate, (which is such a shock that it was duly noted).

ok im gonna ask once is weed a plant just like opium? yes or no
just a simple answer to tell you... is it yes or no? dont generalize that this weed or opium can danger your life... it can and i agree i hate it too but its like saying this guys..
for example food and weight issue. who do you naturally blame it on the food right? but the real answer is you.. you cant control yourself. psychological stuff
so my question is this is a weed a plant yes or no? is it man made?
-

Yes, although of different species and phylums. Although the opium plant is indeed in the same family as the common poppy, the drug part of opium grows on Papaver somniferum aka the opium poppy. The drug is harvested by scoring the seed pod of the plant, and gathering the "latex" that drips out.
just a simple answer to tell you... is it yes or no? dont generalize that this weed or opium can danger your life... it can and i agree i hate it too but its like saying this guys..
Once again, yes - opium poppies are plants. Marijuana is a plant. Both contain mind-altering _drugs_ when processed.
so my question is this is a weed a plant yes or no? is it man made?
Both drugs are derived from plants.

ia gree drugs are stupid but first of all weed isnt a drug. its a plant...
then why my posts are inaccurate? it looks you trying to out win on every posts...
maybe my answer is very abroad but its actually is true weed is a plant... thats what im trying to say here
-
... first of all weed isnt a drug. its a plant...

As the answer has been given several times already, (and you even quoted your own inaccuracy above); "weed" or, marijuana, is a plant which contains the drug, THC.
it looks you trying to out win on every posts...
That isn't a difficult goal since you post as someone who is dim of wit.
maybe my answer is very abroad but its actually is true weed is a plant... thats what im trying to say here
Last time: it's a plant which contains a drug therefore, it's both a plant and a drug, (sidebar: this is what was being obliquely referred to in the 'dumbing-down or wising-up' thread; sometimes, one can only 'dumb things down' to a point where the other person remains unlikely to 'wise-up'). Thanks for the supportive evidence, 'sammy'.

Many share my same opinion, to escape their reality, I does not justify what they do, but who are we to judge. Theres a story behind all of that drug abuse. I know, I lived it really close with my father, and Its not easy and it is really painful.
-
I think people do drugs to run away from reality. Some from peer pressure. I saw people and still know of people on drugs. Sad but true! :(
-
well i see that many ppl think differently. We are all entitled to our opinion the sad thing is someone in my non immediate family is always debating that marjuianna however u spell it is not addicting and he just does it for fun i dont believe that and never will ty for all your opinions
-
to avoid reality may start as fun but can easily become a habit that is hard to break.

Drugs are bad, Mkay?
