What exactly leads people to start taking drugs? Share your thoughts?

Problems, troubles, struggle and various types of stess, everyone has to face it. The ones filthy rich today, even they had to face all types of challenges once to get to where they are today. Even if you figure out a short-cut to success, it won't be a cakewalk.

Then, why some folks become completely hopeless and find solace in drugs? I don't like drug-addicts at all.

My friend was a drug-addict. Despite the continuous efforts of his family and some friends, to keep him away from drugs, he would figure out the way to buy some form intoxication and be high. He escaped from rehab thrice. He was under the observation of good Doctors and Therapists.

I parted ways with him because I had no other option left. I asked him to choose either drugs or my friendship. He chose drugs. I never saw him again.

You can not like them

But fundamentally what an adult chooses to put in their own bodies, and why, is their own business

It is like people who judge suicide as weak

Well, yes by your (one person’s) mind frame which is minuscule in the scheme of things (reality)

@SW-User Masculinity has nothing to do with my thought-process. I have never judged suicide as weak. Robin Williams, my favourite comedian when he committed suicide, I was in a state of shock like his other fans.

No matter what reason or excuse, a drug-addict has for being the way he/she is. I would never be convinced with it. Simply because drugs is never the solution. Never was, never would be!

Adult and their choices, I agree with that but their choices shouldn't effect others. Stealing hard earnt money of family and friends, being in debt and then debt collectors reaching out to the ones they know, they made the choice but who's in trouble later⁉️ Rehab too costs money for treatment but some addicts run away from there. Who pays for rehab, family or friends? Who loses the money for nothing? Family and Friends.

This is why I do not like drug-addicts.
