People do it to party. Then they don't wanna stop partying. It's the same with a lot of drugs.To add to this, due to the nature of illegal drugs being unregulated a lot of times people partying might not really know what drugs theyre taking
i dont have a bad life at all and i really enjoy getting highYeah, but meth?
Yeah, but meth?
shrug. back in my younger days i tried crack one night. it was scary how good it felt and im so thankful i never ventured back.That's what my brother said about heroin. I don't think he ever touched it again

But taking shit like meth and heroin just seems flat out stupid to me.

Not.But how? It is widely known how awful it is.
Meth is one of the easiest drugs to fall into.
I can see why someone who has their life together, a good home life, a good work life, and kinda everything going for them would try it out if they were offeredBut see, this is what I am trying to understand. Why? It is obviously an incredibly stupid thing to do. Now, I do stupid things too, as most people do, but this one just makes zero sense to me, and I have certainly led a hedonistic lifestyle at times, so I am no prude.
But how? It is widely known how awful it is.Because everyone thinks theyre invincible. It could never happen to me. Thats just human nature
And yes, alcohol and cigarettes aren't good either but the order of magnitude is astronomical.

This why I made my post. In my line of work I see people mess up their lives with so much. Today it was meth and it just hit me like of all the things. Like I can see alcohol it is sold everywhere it is on TV ads with LL cool J. For the love of heaven it even sponsors COLLEGE sports. Like it had but I see ppl not getting that but meth.I think to a certain degree, the way you're exposed to things makes a difference. Like if you're introduced to meth in a casual setting by people you know and like, and you haven't really been exposed to or know much about the bad side of it, you might be a lot more willing to try it.
To add to this, due to the nature of illegal drugs being unregulated a lot of times people partying might not really know what drugs theyre takingI went to Bonnaroo in 2012 and never had an issue with laced drugs. This was before the rise of fentanyl tho. Me and my group always had test kits on us and so should any festival goers.
Ive gone to Bonnaroo and there are always a bunch of people walking around selling powder in a baggie and theyll say its MDMA or whatever but when people test the stuff its actually just straight meth or cut with fentanyl or any number of other impurities
Obviously a lot of people do intentionally try meth but since the messaging around all illegal drugs is more focused on just telling you not to do it rather than harm reduction, maybe people try something, think its not so bad, try something else, and then eventually theyre addicted
which is why takes like empathy only goes so far make me wanna throw up in my mouthAnd I hope you know that wasn't my intention. I was only trying to understand.
People always want to shit on addicts, but like.sometimes that shit just happens.Im sorry if my comment upset you. Thats not sarcasm. I genuinely apologize. But like I said, you cant force someone to get clean. They have to want it, and if they dont then theres nothing you can do.
Addiction is a disease. Your genetics, your upbringing and your environment have just as much if not more sway on whether or not you form an addiction than any individual action you take.

Yeah, but meth?
It doesn't have to be bad at all. Some people are trying it for escapism, sure, but many come about it through social occasions and/or the normal business goings-on of the black market drug trade; curiosity, boredom, whatever. Then addiction grabs hold of some folks and it becomes the bad life they didn't have before they started.

Expanding on my post above, I'd been smoking weed for a while at that point and figured "oh, well I was told that was really bad, but it's been fine, seems all of that was a lie". I'm very lucky in hindsight that I just straight up didn't like meth.
