What Drives Drug Use?

1. 76

   Kathryn L Hillposted 9 years ago

   Why is it such a problem with our youth today. Why? Haven't we seen enough of the consequences of drug use which began in the sixties?
   Anyone can reason that drugs detrimentally affect the BRAINS in our head which are connected to a very strong yet sensitive NERVOUS SYSTEM!
   How many people do I know who died due to drug overdose or drug related accidents?
   A lot!
   Great people bought into the lie and are now gone.
   ...what if they were still here today, I always wonder.

      Kathryn, I can safely say that the reason is psychological. Nobody who has ever done drugs does not understand what the feeling is like but they get into it because of curiosity, the drive to learn. After that, at first glance, they realize they feel good or numb - without problem. They spread the good news to others because they feel they've found the answers to their life problems.
      
      It's not only youth, I find that offensive. People who don't understand long term effects are usually doomed into the lifestyle of drugs. Because they don't want to believe there are long term effects, or that, those effects won't happen to them.
      
      People seek pleasure. That's all. Pleasure (not specifically only drugs) is addictive. Junk food, sex, alcohol, oversleeping, Netflix, HUBPAGES, video games etc are addictive because it gives us pleasure. There's a misconception that people will find happiness by staying on the path of pleasure.
      
      I've had my share of pleasures (drugs) but it doesn't mean I'll want them to be a part of my life. It's a learning process for everyone. Some people have less will power than others. But it's wrong to avoid learning about anything.  It's important to understand drugs but find happiness to know you are strong enough to find that euphoria within yourself and not externally.

               No. I mean literally dying. As in dead as a door knob…even after one set of parents I know lost their home trying to help their daughter get off heroin, in rehab after rehab center.
               I live in a middle to upper class suburban town far from LA and the hood.
               But thats where the kids here go for their heroin. The police have nicknamed the school near me "Heroin High." It started with Vicodin in the 90's.

                  Heroin's an expensive drug. The kids must have wealthy parents who're able to afford heroin. Maybe in LA or Cali people are into Heroin. Here in Montreal, people especially adore marijuana and there has never been a case of death because of it, ever. Not here and not anywhere else.

      Why problem with our youth today? Because those who produce youth are living recklessly and irresponsible towards their products. You take parents raising their offspring everyday, every hour having intelligent conversation, living clean and sober life until my child is 18 years old. Once a child reaches age of adulthood morally and intellectually stable, the people like that are wise enough to make right decision right. Some families are living respectfully toward the Creator and His rules,- but we are not talking about righteousness and fine tuning for spiritual eternity.
      You know as well I do and a few more perhaps, that all we do is personal decision unless your god government pays you to act to the will of  evil one: oops I ran out of words.

   As I stated before, there are exceptions to every rule. We have so many functioning house, state, federal druggies. Doctors do it, scientists do it, lawyers do it, athletes do it, and the list goes on and on... I once had a boss at a renowned insurance company who came to work EVERYDAY with the smell of whiskey. It makes me come to the conclusion that some can handle white envelopes of powder and still be productive. Some cannot.

               It might depend the age you tried that certain drug, because teenagers and young adults who don't have much responsibility will be attracted towards drugs more often than older adults. Unless the drugs was extremely scary and made you hallucinate/stimulate you too much and you didn't know how to handle it which led you to push drugs away from your life ? That's just a guess. But I'm asking at the same time, I hope you don't mind answering.

                     Here is why I quit smoking pot. I always loved swimming in the ocean. As a stupid teen of the 70's we all smoked the really weak stuff of the day. Weak or not, one time when a group of us were camping and toking I went down to the beach to swim.
                     I was so shocked to discover that I could not feel the exhilaration I had always felt while swimming and body surfing in the waves of the ocean. I never smoked it again.
                     Even alcohol just puts me to sleep! I love my natural high.

                        Yeah when the fear outweighs the happiness then you tend not to go back. That's what happened when I inhaled way too much salvia than I was supposed to and badtripped like there was no tomorrow. It's a non-lethal, minimal negative physical effect drug, but considered the strongest hallucinogenic in the world. It's legal to purchase, just not to consume/smoke. 
                        It scared me beyond belief and I'll probably never do it again. It's harmless but the psychological damage it did was strong enough to stray away from it probably forever !

                           What I discovered is that the ability to feel joy of life within me is based on the natural feel good chemicals percolating within my brain such as seratonin, flowing along the synapses and dendrites which are firing.

   Thanks all, for your insights.
   In my case, as I contemplate this, in high school, I wanted more interaction from life itself. I felt frustrated that I had to sit, sit, sit, absorb, absorb, and mostly against my will. School might be the cause of drug use for some!
   Kids are bored of sit, sit, sitting under the tyranny of the school system
   They want to do, do, do in liberty (within common sense boundaries.)
   Maybe they should be allowed out of school, (around fifteen or sixteen,) to mentor in the real world.
   This is a win-win. The businesses and schools, etc. would get free help and the kids would recieve on-the-job training.
   I would have benefitted greatly.

                  Rebelliousness is a natural part of growing up. Rebellion from parental and other authority obviously.

                     Yes, you say "obviously."
                        I cannot accept drug use as natural or necessary to advance to adulthood. Not all go this route, of course. What sets them apart?
                     
                     What are they rebelling against in particular?
                     Do you suppose.
                     In the 60's? in the 70's? in the 80's ?
                     Is it the same reason, or not, in each generation?

                        Teenagers rebel in different ways. Some take the self-destructive path, most don't. Some just grow up.

                              I have given you what I consider a reasonable answer to why kids do drugs. How is that not clear? How is that "telling"? What does that tell about me, Kathryn?
                              
                              I've noticed you haven't come up with any answer, except that Ritalin is the cause, which make absolutely NO sense. Since Ritalin wasn't even around until the 80's or 90's. And drugs have been around fo r thousands of years.

                              Honestly, I don't know. Drug use was pretty mild where I grew up. Pot and a little cocaine and speed. And not that much of it around. I never saw adults do it. Just a few friends.

                                    They don't because they don't know how to deal with it if it were to happen that their own child was addicted to a drug. That's the psychology behind it.

                        Not all teens do drugs as a form of rebelling. Don't forget you were a teenager at one point of your life and had friends who were teenagers, Kathryn. It just goes to show you how little we know about drugs to really say which ones are harmful and which ones aren't.
                        
                        Cigarettes have been around longer than drugs and people, NOT ONLY YOUTH continue to smoke. Do you have an explanation for that that doesn't involve God?

                  MDMA isn't Ecstacy by the way.
                  Molly is just another name for MDMA. It's like saying "grass" was invented in the 80's, for example, but "weed" was invented in the 90's. That's total bs. I don't call it grass, I'm too modern to call it that now. People call it "chronic, kush, piff, the green" now. That was just to let you know what "the kids" call it now.
                  
                  Marijuana is 200-300% more potent now than it ever was, just to let anyone know. But it's still the same.
                  
                  Heroin has been around in the 60's. Opium is like heroin if not the same thing...
                  
                  "synthetic" pot is just medicinal marijuana. It's extremely potent. 0.2g is strong enough to get an active user high.
                  
                  I'm sorry Kathryn but you have to inform yourself of the history of drugs.

   I believe that the youth are abandoned on a level by parents and teachers alike. They are not allowed by adults to operate on a level of their true selves because they are not encouraged to think, explore, discover, research according to their true interests. What teacher ever cared about encouraging you to love what you were learning and showed you the significance of what you were learning? I know some do. Thank God for them.
   What Math teacher ever cared about showing you how what you were learning applied to the concrete world? For me, none of them!
   I believe there is a way to go in a positive direction and avoid going in a negative direction.
   Drugs are negative. They initiate a downward spiral.
   Thankfully, many kids overcome the downward cycle and get their lives together.
   Especially after they start families of their own. Thats when the positive spiral amps forth once again for the sake of their child's positive growth and development.

    What are adults putting up with? Money, nothing but money... and the gun is to the head.  Adults/parents of the 70's came home and had Martinis after work. It helped them relax after a hard day at work. They mostly became alcoholics and eventually had to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Relationships need to be very tight to make it through family life.
    
    Life is just not easy.
    That's why people get involved in drugs and substances. They are looking for the Bliss that we knew before we were born... since it's so hard to find it here.
    And we really don't help each other very much to find it.

    "What drives drug use?"
    
    Your question doesn't have one answer.  There are a variety of reasons people become addicted to drugs, as many of you have noted already.
    
    Many psychologists believe that substance abuse is a mental health disorder and that it is often accompanied by another mental health disorder (i.e. depression, anxiety, mood disorders).
    
    For now, with the level of genetic science we're at, the best thing we can do is focus on youth education (pre-use) and treatment (post-use).

             Maybe that explains more than I ever realized. Thank you.
             I have been dealing with so many people addicted to alcohol, speed/coke. They seem to be functional. The weird thing is, I am so straight!  Does everyone have people like these in their lives?
             I think there must be a lot of genetic malfunctioning in the gene pool! Maybe we are passing it on and on and on...

    Possible ways to prevent the urge to take/need drugs for the young and old:
    I.) If drug use is (somehow) predisposed, we can do something about it to prevent it.
        A. Observe our babies.
           a. Are they cranky and needy? Sooth them as needed. Try not to deny them the soothing they need. (Usually from nursing on demand.)
           b. Are they often out of sorts? This could indicate food sensitivity.
           c. Are their digestive tracts more sensitive than typical babies? They might need "gentle" foods longer than other babies.(Gentle= blended or pureed cooked carrots, squash, and brown rice cream, etc. No processed white flour/sugar items.)
           d. Do they loose focus and start knocking things around in a vague display of frustration when tired? Help them wind down and rest.
           e. Do they often seem uncomfortable when gassy from bouts sensitivity to foods or bad mixing of foods? Observe what combinations of foods give your baby trouble. Serve foods according to mixing charts.
    
    II.) Regulating the diet could help in a proactive way to strengthen the general functioning of the body and therefore the mind/brain.
         A. Autism seems to be helped when children's diets are monitored/regulated.
            a. No processed foods
            b. More raw foods
            c. Chelation therapy to remove heavy metals from their blood streams.
         B.  Depression is helped by a heathy diet, fresh air, exercise and reduced stress.
              a. Sugar, white flour and processed foods should be avoided completely.
              b. Daily exercise / free play of some sort.
              c. Regular periods of flow time where one does what one likes with no thought of time.
              d. Vacations from work or school should be allowed when the mind and body start showing symptoms of reduced vitality: i.e colds, body/head aches, general fatigue before it manifests as depression.
         C.  Less carbohydrates, which are known addiction triggers.
         D.  Never touching drugs in the very first place. Educating children of the harmful effects and consequences of addiction. Parents are the best teachers, I believe.
    
    III.)  Less stress in schools.
          A. Children need more regard, consideration and respect.
              a. More freedom in school. Foster exploration, research and discovery.
              b. Focus on what THEY are interested in. 
              c. Teaching in a way that would encourage the expansion of interests.
              d. Let them start the school day at 9 o'clock after breakfast and family time.
    
    IV.) Less stress in society.
         A. Freedom within common sense boundaries for the population at large.
              a. Socialism is taboo as it removes the natural instinct to do for oneself.
              b. Socialism removes the joy of reaping the benefits of what one sows for oneself, family and community, nation and world according to one's free will.
