What Is Your Opinion on Drug Addiction?

Question by asd: what is your opinion on drug addiction?
First of all ive been a recreational drug user for a few years. I have taken up smoking last year and for around 6 months i smoked 4-5 packs a month and now im to around 1 pack a month. I find myself craving a cigarette only when i have a satisfying meal or when i drink. I have also used a lot of pills. Most of my friends that have taken up smoking got hooked on them a few months into smoking and smoke atleast 1 pack a week and they are always ready to pop pills like they need them. When i first took up smoking i was worried i might get addicted as people say nicotine is the most addicting drug but my friend told me “if you dont want to get addicted to a drug, you wont”. This has proven true to me because i rarely smoke, take pills only when im stressed out and i dont find myself needing them like the rest of my friends. So what do you people think? A lot of talk is about saying how you can quickly become addicted to these substances but to me i use them moderately and just to enhance a party or a situation if you know what i mean. Do you think it just has something to do with people’s state of mind or what?
to the first answer. if you want to live your life following all the rules this world has established then thats your problem. Drugs can be a benefit and i speak from experience. We live such a short time and if you want to be like lambs following a leader whch you dont question well i feel sorry for you. and you didnt answer my question

Drug addiction is a “sad” situation. It causes so much pain to the users and to the families and friends of the “users”.

The best thing would be that people would choose to “say no” to trying it “just ONE time”. That is how it all begins, by the ONE time and then it becomes a horrible habit.

Health is one of the greatest treasures we have or want to have. Some people would love to be able to walk, or see, or hear and yet they can’t. They are just happy to be alive and dream of ONE DAY being able to do the things the rest of take for granted.

It is so sad to see a person that is lucky to have all the great gifts of life throw them all away by using drugs. Drugs are such a waste of time and destroyers of families, lives, dreams and goals.
