Why do people take drugs when they know it will fuck them up?
 

i don't understand.

do they think they are different or something?

some people are just that dumb i guess

You mean like alcohol?

Isn't getting fucked up the point?

Or are you talking about serious abuse which could lead to health/finance problems.

Getting fucked up is the point.

Because:

Addiction > Reason

who knows.
drugs are bad :)

exactly....

let's rephrase that question:

Why do people not take drugs, when they know damned well it will fuck them up?

that'll get the gerbills runnin

Why do people smoke cigarettes?
Why do people drink alcohol?
Why do people eat Big Macs?
Why do people ride motorcycles?
Why do people operate heavy machinery on cough syrup?

Why does the brain naturally make Dope?!

But to answer why people take drugs knowing it will kill or hurt them is simple.... Nobody worries about bad things happening until the bad thing is in their face. Also depression is a motherfucker.:2 cents:

its the good shiiiet

Because it feels goooooooooooooooooooooooooood

Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll!

exactly.

:helpme

Addiction = State of mind.

1. too fucking lazy or stupid to quit.

2. because their friends do, and see #1

3. Because they are hungry and the food is fast?

4. Mode of transportation or pleasure riding.

5. Because if they call in sick they dont get paid, then they can not pay thier bills

all that "legal" garbage when all they really need is a joint:rasta

Ill admit to taking E's years ago (i was young). The anti drugs lobbby says lots about E that i knew not to be true, in short they lied. So i didnt believe anything they said. Ive kind of grown out of E's now.

To keep your mind right

We are prone to wanting an alternate reality i.e. intoxication. It is not limited to humans either. It is seen in many mammals, from birds to squirrels.

Plus define fuck you up?

Doctors reccomend a glass a wine a day.
Some drugs help save you or prevent illeness.
Some drugs just fuck you up while you are on them.

I did drugs when I was sixteen. Got in too deep very quickly.

Will never ever go back there again.

Depends on what you take... beer and pot i guess is ok if you control

Good point.

Legal drugs are no better than illegal drugs.

Personally I think weed should have been legalized before alcohol. People get drunk and angry and want to kill their enemies. When people sit down and hit the bong, They don't want to get back up :1orglaugh

Anyway, People WANT to get fucked up. So why wouldn't they take them?

because it's fun.

some people truly do have self control or simply don't have an addictive personality. Aside from pot which doesn't even belong in the same category as most of the rest of the "drugs," there are a few other substances that can be fun and/or mind expanding without being particularly addictive or "fucking you up" as long as they are used with a modicum of responsibility. MDMA and shrooms come to mind, though I've tried only the former and will never mess with the latter.

see you on the other side
 

Pain :helpme

Tried some during youth. Drugs aren't for me.

what? what about to post some facts or so ;) or why are you asking like that? you are missing some parts after your mushroom trip?

Curiousity and a addictive personality

Why do people smoke when they know it will fuck them up?
