Why Do People Use Drugs? One reason often heard from people using drugs is that they do them to feel good. For real, it does feel good because most drugs act directly on the “pleasure center”–the limbic system–in the brain . At this point, it can be considered recreational use. Some might light up a cigarette at a party. They might not consider themselves a “smoker,” but they do it to feel good or to “look cool.” Someone might smoke pot at their friend’s house because they think it could be fun. The problem? Drugs don’t care what the reason is. The same effects can occur whether you’re drinking to have fun or drinking to forget a problem, whether you’re doing drugs to see how they feel or doing them to be one of the crowd. Drugs can also effect on our health and attitude . when a person use to take more and more drugs then only his attitude becomes wrong. We can also calculate that in terms of this
ATTITUDE: 100 % Wrong
A = 1 %
T = 20%
T = 20%
I = 9%
T = 20%
U = 21%
D = 4%
E = 5%
Total become ATTITUDE =100% It means when a person becomes too much addict of the drugs then only their character and health becomes totally destroyed . Society will refuse to aspect them . Then only a drug caring center will come forward to help to take out the person from drug addiction .
People take drugs to change the way they feel. Often they want to change their situation. If they’re depressed, they want to become happy. If they are stressed or nervous, they want to relax, and so on. By taking drugs, people often think they can be the person they want to be. The problem? It isn’t real. You haven’t changed the situation, you’ve only distorted it for a little while. Following are some of the reasons people say they do drugs to feel good or change the situation.

You haven’t changed the situation, you’ve only distorted it for a little while. Following are some of the reasons people say they do drugs to feel good or change the situation:
1. Because they want to fit in. No one wants to be the only one not participating. No one wants to be left out. So sometimes they make bad decisions, like taking drugs, to cover-up their insecurities. They don’t think about how drugs can isolate you from your friends and family. They forget to look past that one party to see how things could turn out. Or maybe they just don’t see the people around them who aren’t using drugs.
2. Because they want to escape or relax. You’ll hear a lot of people saying things like “I’m so stressed, I need to get messed up!” or “Drugs help me relax” or whatever. What they’re really saying is “Drinking or doing drugs is just easier than dealing with my problems or reaching out for help.” The thing is, the problems are still there when they come down–and not only do they still have to deal with it, they have to deal with it when they’re not 100% and feeling guilty or even worse when they’re not thinking straight.
3. Because they’re bored. Lots of people turn to drugs for a little excitement because they say there’s nothing else to do but watch the same Simpsons’ rerun for the tenth time or hang out at the Burger King. But people who make these kinds of decisions usually find out that drugs are ultimately really a waste and painful. Drugs don’t change the situation, and they just might make it worse.
4. Because the media says it’s cool. Even though there’s an antidrug ad on every minutes and more rock stars and ball players than you can shake a stick at tell you to stay away from drugs, the truth is the entertainment world still manages to make drugs appear very attractive. Kind of like how they encourage people to be really skinny even when they say anorexia is bad. Or when they say you should be super muscular but steroids are bad. But if you’re wise, you’ll understand that the entertainment world is not the real world, and basing your life on these messages is superficial.
