I know a lot of people that have taken or still do take drugs and get intoxicated with alcohol. People get offered a ciggarete or joint at some point.

Situation: A guy is sitting with his "friends" in an alley. At one point, one guy takes out a Marijuana joint. They start passing it around, and when it reaches him, the guy hesitates.
Now, the rest of the gang tease him: "What's the matter? Afraid of the cops?" "Hey, guys, we got a chicken here!" "C'mon, try it, you'll like it!"
The guy hence collapses under the pressure and accepts. He feels good to be part of the gang again.
Problem is, the next time this happens, it'll be easier, and eventually he'll become addicted.

My question is: Why do so many people accept to ruin their only body? It's absolutely silly in my opinion.

EVERYTHING FREAKING RUINS THE BODY IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER.


I jsut want to make that very clear that without antioxidants, we would kill ourselves by breathing in a matter of months.


It's all about balance. in the alchemical sense of it all, everything from smoking substances to playing games, from taking nature walks to socialite activities is a drug.

I smoke pot to help me combat insomnia.
I'll partake in pipe tobacco if offered, as a social activity, and some times celibate with alcohol on occasion.

It's a mixture of social reputation, self exploration/examination, evolution, and as always, experience itself.

To get high obviously. Being high helps them escape from reality.

Smoking a joint kills just about as many brain cells as talking on a cell phone.

It's actually not how it happens. I've been around drug users/drinkers/smokers at least 3 days a week for the past the two years. It's not peer pressure, it's curiosity, people want to know what it feels like. If they enjoy it they carry on.

I am perfectly aware of what alcohol does to the human body but I like being drunk so I continue to drink. I like the confidence it gives me, the feeling of I can do whatever the fuck I want regardless of anyone. Sure there is some pretty major consequences every now and then but the fun out ways it for sure. Maybe there is a reason for you.

Edit: drunk whilst I typed this. ;)

I agree with Fee. I've always wanted to get high on some drug. I just never had the guts to do it.

That.

I smoke weed most days, and the days i dont have it, i want it, or im going out to get it. the feeling of freedom and fun it gives is better than any other, and i love the high.

Well if marihuana is a drug...ehmm some drugs help simply to chill out

Sometimes you need to reset your mind, throw all the lifestress away..
Best way to do that is alcohol and cigarette, for someone marihuana..

Well i dont support hard drugs, never tryed them.

Feeling of freedom when you spend everyday hunting it down? That's a point I would never get to. Moderation is the key to pretty much everything these days.

im not addicted, and id never let myself get that far down the line. i dont need it, i WANT it, i love the feeling of being high.

thats probably just confused people, but w/e :v

EDIT: also, i meant the high makes you feel free, as in, you can do whatever without limitations
