What are your reasons for taking drugs?

I go through phases myself and I feel it is a combination of reasons.
Firstly, I wanted to know what all the fuss was about so I started with cannabis and then it was acid and then speed and then e's then coke. THis is over a period of about ten years though, i might add. COke has to be the best. That is saved only for special occassions as most of my recreational use is. I can go months at a time without having anything and that is the way that i like it because i then really enjoy what i do. THere are times that I get the need to have something to get me through and when i feel that i might be losing control of it then i stop. You might not be interested to hear about what I do but I thought that i would share it with you anyway and I am hoping that you will tell me too..

I started taking em to see what theyre like.,.. n definately like to try anything once..
Reasons nowadays I guess is boredom.. if I'm bored I'll take siome drugs.. summing to do I guess... just dont like being sober all the time n get bored of drinking or just doing 1 thing so I mix it up...
I know that the times I have gone on mad binges with drugs always seem to be the times I have been having a hard time at home and with family problems and I also used to drink a lot as well. Now I just have a beer when I go to town at weekends mind you that is sometimes friday saturday and sunday.
I am supposed to be going there soon and seeing as though you live in that London, i thought that you might be able to give me an opinion. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

What started off as a social thing and a bit of fun ended up really shitty for me and I pray to god Ill never get like that again. I have an addictive personality and tend to take everything to extremes but I put my past drug use down to how unhappy I was. I was very depressed and had a lot of problem when I was younger that started to really affect me when I got to about 14.
Thankfully, now Im totally off them, just as well because I am pregnant. It was the ptregnancy that got me totally off drugs but I had been better for a while before as I had help through hospital.
Even though I messed up a lot of my lif3e through drugs, I dont think they r all bad. A lot of the time I wonder if Id even b here now had it not been for drugs. They made me happy at some of the shittiest times. But, unfortunatly they arnt the answer.
I hope that I can stay off them, everyday wise, after the baby and Im sure I will but there is always that bit of me thats dying to go get high!
Anyway, just thought Id share that with u all... dont think Ive ever actually got that lot out in the open!
I smoke pot to qualify for a handicap-parking decal.
I smoke pot because I want to be a good role model for adults.
I smoke pot to help me adjust to
incarceration for smoking pot.
I smoke pot because it makes me popular with dogs at airports.
I smoke pot to appreciate the rationality of religion and the chaos of logic.
I smoke pot because it makes normal stupid things seem profoundly stupid.
I smoke pot because it makes my beret and bow-tie seem fashionable.
I smoke pot when I need quick and novel ideas to convince linear thinkers that I have been working.
I smoke pot so my parents won’t know I have been smoking tobacco in my room.
I smoke pot because my innate rhythms were destroyed by W.A.S.P.s.
I smoke pot because it helps me make friends with big ugly guys that are really mean unless we smoke pot.
I smoke pot to become one with the wonders of nature and to stimulate my appetite for eating them.
I smoke pot to create employment for people without otherwise marketable skills.
I smoke pot to impress criminals and tobacco smokers as we freeze our asses off during winter smoke breaks.
I smoke pot because I was born without the ability to synthesize THC from my diet.
I always knew id take drugs too even though i always used to say no id never touch that, a week later i was always doing it, trying to kid yourself doesnt work!
And im sure a certain friend of mine will agree with you as well theres always a part of you thats dying to get high on whatever you like getting high off.
Ive been dying for something today but luckily i didnt give in to it but iwas about a millimetre away from it.
Glad someone out there can relate to me lol <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">. Im finding it increasingly difficult to stay off...especially over this xmas period. Its a bloody joke, infact I think its the not being able to do anything thats been getting me down a bit lately.
I slipped up three times during this pregnacy, and Ive never felt so bad in my life. It was right at the begginnning, and thankfully dont seem to have had any devastating effects, but I cant forgive myself. It was a really selfish thing to do and Im well aware of that.Then again, I look at what I was doin before I got pregnant (something everyday!) and I think Im doin a pretty fab job at staying off.
Ive now decided not to go out, as the temptations too much and I just have a shit nite. Its sad to admit, but I cant go out and have fun without being on something.
Oh well, if I get through xmas and new year (which I no I will) Ill no I can do anything!!!!
Good on you Lolly, you know we are all here for you <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Why don't you download Yahoo, then when you need instant support, there's a good likelyhood that there will be someone online to talk to.

I mean for me, that's it. I suppose i could meditate in a cave or get knee deep in religion or something like that. Drugs are a window to feeling and seeing life beyond/deeper/differently than I am able to in my 'normal' state.
bliss is awesome - big fan of bliss.
