QUOTE(Joss-eh-lime @ Jul 18 2007, 04:29 PM)  Lately, I've been wondering why people use drugs and smoke. To de-stress? To make friends? Just to have fun? It seemed cool? If you have tried drugs or cigarettes why do you do it? If you haven't, why do you think others use them? Are there any alternatives to using drugs/smoking, that will give a similar outcome? Like say, finding a hobby or joining a club? I'm seriously just curious. I'm not judging. Nothing harsh please Sometimes drugs/alcohol are used as a tool to deal with life. Most of the time those people weren't really taught how to deal with emotions, so that is the only way to do it. |

crystal meth is only good if you have no money whatsoever, as it can be created in a small kitchen with even the most beginner's chemical lab set.
heroine is great when i can get it, but hydrocodone is great cause it's about 4x times more potent than heroine. |

QUOTE(Tamacracker @ Jul 18 2007, 04:55 PM) True, it's good to just wait until you're an adult, with a mature mind and more self control. I realized that high schoolers don't even know the benefits of marijuana, they just smoke it to feel high. hahahahahadfksjdhfahahahahahasIn my case, I only smoke on the weekends. I used to smoke every time before meditating, but I had to learn how to meditate while sober. ahahaha ahhahahahahahahaha hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahaha ahahahaiejra that was seriously funny. |

Why does anyone do anything? Because it's there and it's new and they're curious.

people i know smoked cigarettes to be cool when we were underaged. then it was cool to turn 18 and be able to legally buy cigarettes, which they of course tried and got addicted. i tried cigarettes once, didnt like it lol. my boyfriend smokes cigars but i think he enjoys just randomly doing so rather than being addicted.

Our (American) culture makes weed out to be this horrible mystery drug and more funding is put into campaigns against weed more than anything else. Why wouldn't you want to try it after it's been labeled such a taboo? Especially since all those commercials don't really mention any health defects.
Drinking and smoking just because alcohol and ciggarettes are easier to obtain than weed. Because it's there. Because it's viewed as a social norm and people don't see a reason not to.

Actually, I'd make a wager to say that more money is put into anti-cigarette than anti-weed.

QUOTE(Rachel @ Jul 19 2007, 03:04 PM) I love the one where the girls dog starts talking to her in the kitchen. It doesn't make me want to stop smoking pot, it makes me wanna find the shit she smoked to have her dog talk to her. OMG, I know what you mean. xD I was talking to someone about that the other day because we were watching tv when it came on xD very funny. I'd have to agree with the curiousity thing..I guess the curiosity hasn't hit me yet. |

I have yet to see an anti-cig action, but I've seen commercials, fliers, and heard commercials on the radio all anti-weed. Perhaps I just pay attention to the anti-weed movements.

As lame as it sounds, I think its from peer pressure and wanting to be "cool". I mean think about it, there are better ways to relieve stress than doing drugs but they choose to do drugs just cause it sounds and is riskier.

^Perhaps, of course it sounds like a common answer and reason though.
-shrugs- When I went to public school I hanged out with all the pot heads but I never smoked? I guess I just never cared enough about fitting in. |
