Drugs

I've never understood why people get into drugs. Honestly, they are fun for a while, but making your life out of using them? No, never have understood it. Being addicted to something is all in your head. You start drugs because of peer pressure and everyone around you doing it. Its the desire to "look" cool to the people around you. Doing drugs isn't okay. I draw the line when you start snorting white powder up your nose and injecting yourself with dirty needles. Who the hell does that shit? I couldn't see myself having the guts to do it, or feeling so low in my life that I would feel the need to. I don't understand why anyone else would.

The only drug I can stand to be around is weed. I know countless people who have smoked it, and none of them do it on a regular basis even though you can be addicted to it just like cigarettes. Although being addicted to weed is all in your head. You mentally need it to feel the high, you mentally need it to concentrate, there's always an excuse to keep using it. I don't personally know how you can concentrate under the influence of marijauana, since my friends seem to think everything is funny the whole time they are high.. but I guess thats what happens, and the effects are different for everyone.

But what makes a person physically addicted to drugs? that I would like to know. What's in them that makes your body so depenedant on its effects? Why is it so hard to get rid of. Why do people relapse after rehab? are they stupid? So many unanswered questions. What makes a person do Crystal Meth and Cocaine? I feel like they weren't just laying in bed one day thinking of things to do and said.. "Oh hey.. i think ill try meth today.. let me just stick a needle in my arm and get high". People are idiots in the world these days. I want to find an addict and ask them why this shit is so important to them and why they do it.. then I want to ask them if they weren't addicted to it, would they do it again? Would they even touch it if they had another chance?! Maybe we should make this a project. Go to the Rehab place in town and hear the stories of the kids in there.. I would love to learn about this some more.
