Drug Use

People use drugs for many reasons. It may be to escape depression or/and stress. It may be to do it because "everyone" else is doing it. People may use drugs because he or she thinks it's cool. A addict would use the drug or drugs he or she is addicted because their body craves for it, and he or she thinks that he or she "needs" it to get by. I smoked marijuana in middle school and throughout high school for many reasons, such as my friends were doing it, older people that i knew were doing it, to escape from the depression, anger, loneliness, and pain of my father's death, to have fun, from being bored(sometimes i thought there was just nothing else to do than that), and for the most significant reasons, which is that I didn't know or even think that there was better things to do in life. Some people may be born into drug use, for example, a terrible neighborhood. Also, a baby born with a drug's chemicals in his or her body. Someone could've been forced to do use drugs such if they were in a gang. Drugs effect us physically of course. The effects on physicality depends on which drug it is. Marijuana has a lot of tar, so it would damage your lung function. Marijuana also lessense a man's masculinity; they get weaker. After a long time of using marijuana, your mind can start to function slower or a lot slower. Marijuana is also a gateway drug, which mean it leads to other drugs and most likely will lead one to more dangerous drugs such as cocain, heroin, and crystal meth. Drug use can not only tear your life a part, but hurt the lives of the people that are close you such as your family and bestfriend(s).
