They destroy lives. In every imaginable way
I hate when people try to convince me “it’s ain’t that bad, it’s clean, it’s good if you not overuse it, etc etc”
No, they’re bad.
I see whay they do to people. I know tons of examples.
I know I was psychotic mainly because of it.
They make you think or behave that way, you sober would never do…
They make you gamble, do unsafe sex, in reaaally severe cases, or even I would say in most cases(if you use hard drugs) it ends with death.
Overall, it never made anyone’s life better.

(Weed in some cases help for people, but in mine it was a trigger)

I have stopped vaping nicotine and thc (weed, marijuana) and stopped alcohol

I have addiction and will use daily and risk getting in trouble with police if they catch me driving while high or drunk.

I was putting my health at serious risk like liver failure and lung cancer and copd, emphysema and popcorn lung.

I could not make it through the day without using. I could not see life without drugs daily.

Even nicotine made me risk my life for its drug effects from vaping it.

I feel so much better after stopping.

My parents don’t want me doing any drugs at all. Alcohol and thc or weed are against my family’s culture.

I am only using about two nicotine lozenges a day and all the coffee and caffeine pills I desire. About three to four cups of coffee and two to three caffeine pills.

I was completely dependent on drugs to function daily.I lost my self love. I lost control of my intelligence.

So far it has been very easy and rewarding since I quit.

Heroine and cocaine sadly ruin lives. Thankfully I was always too poor to buy it on my own haha! So my ineptitude and poverty saved me from them.

Hallucinogens are dangerous but also potent potential aids for mental health, imo.

And cannabis has its place although I no longer partake

Drugs are the only reason I’m alive right now.

Zyprexa is probably the most effective one

That is an insane amount of caffeine intake.

I really advise you to monitor your blood pressure regularly.

Yeah, I used to do drugs as a teenager
Mostly pot and alcohol
Thankfully I quit everything and I’m about 17 years clean from it
It’s like letting the world fade around you as you lose yourself in it

I went a year straight with no drugs at all no caffeine or anything.I even cut out all sugar. I exercised for five times a week and had everything in check. Maybe I can get back on track like that again. But as of now my doctor is monitoring my heart rate and my blood pressure and has me on metoprolol tartrate.

I genuinely do not understand the appeal of intentionally taking something that impairs your ability to make decisions. I barely tolerate taking the pain meds for my brain tumor, and when I do, I need to be alone. I like to be the one in control of my actions, after so long clawing my way back to sanity. I don’t want to give that up for any reason. That was the worst part of psychosis.

It’s just another way people are using to help cope. It’s effective and powerful. Unfortunately it’s destructive and ultimately self-defeating.

One of the reasons people take drugs for the first time is to forget about their reality. Then they have to continue taking drugs to prevent withdrawal.

Just go to Skid Row in Los Angeles and talk to the 17-year-old girl selling her body for sex. She’s on drugs. Started taking drugs at age 13. Her father and uncle have been sexually abusing her since she was 4 years old.

So many stories like that.
