Why do humans crave drugs?

I've never done recreational drugs, including weed. I have this strange quirk in my personality even from childhood that unless I have a good reason to do something I don't, so I never found a reason to do drugs. I did drink to excess in my younger years until I got hold of that. Now I rarely drink.
I think genetics and influence play a role, and some have thrill seeking personalities. I believe there is a variety of factors.

We are addicted to escaping. Human beings can be incredibly competitive and egotistical.
The use of these things are used as a way to manage the struggles in life but also as a way to challenge the ego... "its not gonna happen to us" we always think we're not going to succumb to the addiction.

It produces the same type of chemicals in the brain that being in love does. Love is an evolutionary mechanism that helps us strengthen relationships and reproduce.

It's not a weakness of will. We're biologically wired to become addicted to drugs. If you remember how terrible your breakup made you feel, that's more or less what's going on inside an addicts brain when they sober up.

Drugs are low requirement substitutes for the built in amino acid endorphins the brain secretes when real trials and success ore experienced. The root reasons for each person varies.

Some are figuratively avoiding their true experiences while others are trying to synthesize experiences they otherwise do not have the wherewithal to actually experience.

la la, what drew the artist there? Often they have much more astute talent in the way you describe drugs. I can promise you this alcohol holds a promise, against yours that puts everything into a banal mechanism. Is it right, is wrong? All I know is stigma is wrong. And how you show it I'd rather be blind and intoxicated searching

I don’t i would’ go near it unless even if I had to

they cannot cope/deal with reality
