I Dont Like Drugs

I've Never Taken Drugs Of Any Kind..

I'm proud of that fact and that I've never even wanted to try them..
What amazes me as I spend more time on this site is the amount of youngsters that are using drugs on such a regular basis it's considered "the norm"
Even adults that know what a waste of money it is and how it's a mugs game still use what they call "grass, happy baccy, marijuana"
I have friends that have used it regularly but not around me, it doesn't affect our friendship but obviously I won't condone it and I would never allow it in my home..
I know some use it for medical purposes, but I have a lot of medical issues and suffer a lot of pain and I didn't think of smoking to handle it..
So my thought is why has it become such an accepted part of society and why do so many use them..Is it because their not strong enough to deal with the real world with a clear head? Is being stoned better than facing reality and actually dealing with issues in their life?
I'm honestly curious as to what keeps them doing it, the majority of us managed to have fun and excitement in our lives and youth without resorting to drugs, is that their only option.
No I'm not downing anyone or judging anyone that takes drugs I'm just very curious about it all and sad to see it become so accepted..
