Drug Abuse

Question by JZ: Anybody have any thoughts or ideas about the drug subculture in todays youth?
When you think of drugs and young people, you either see them in your mind as people who just want to destroy themselves or people so hurt that they have to escape.

But have you ever met people who identify themselves with taking drugs in the drug subculture? The lingo they use? How they get sex regularly, or get into relationships and friendships? How they learn how to collectively see things and deal with things?

It’s not just one person doing drugs, its something else thats happening. What is this? What is going on? It’s almost like people are doing drugs to experience a better life.

People take different drugs for different reasons. Some are dissociatives, some take them because they give them energy, some give people energy, confidence, and suave all at once, some give a euphoric feeling, some take you to different realms and worlds. Drugs are basically just adult candy. Yea they can give you a different perspective on things, but some people forget that a lot of drugs just give you a boost of energy and confidence……..I mean a huge boost that can give you a heart attack, lol.
