How Addiction Happens

Question by SLF: Why do people start taking drugs when they can see the awful state drug addicts get in?
My question, while of course it could be applied to nicotine and alchohol, is primarily about heroin, because users of heroin seem to get in so much of a mess. Knowing it’s illegal, expensive, highly addictive, will mess up your body and you’ll probably end up needing to thieve to feed the habit, why start? I’m genuinely interested.

smokers know the negative impact of smoking, alcoholics know the comlications of drinking. likewise drug addeicts know the consequences, but htey can’t control thier minds

Answer by me

Question by Aimee Joans: Do you think my sister is using drugs?…or something else?
Hi everyone 🙂 So here is the background information:

I am 23, my brother is 24 and my sister is 19. We all grew up in a great home with great parents. Nothing terrible has ever happened to us. We grew up spoiled and enjoyed tons of great vacations to Nova Scotia, Disney World…etc. A normal family. My brother and I never used drugs or got into trouble and neither did my sister..until recently.

Well, she has taken ecstacy tablets a couple of times with a friend but she would seem fine the next day and I know ecstacy is not one of the most addictive drugs since I know a lot of people who have used it as teens and then “grew out of it”.    Read more...
