How I can help..

[insanity]

So much people I know are know reverrting to drugs to make them happy, they are all getting addicted. I dont want to ever take drugs. And it breaks my heart seeing 15yr olds that cant be happy unless they have taken something. It makes me feel so depressed seeing it.

What is the best way/stuff to say to help people who are addicted?

Btw the drugs range from weed to herion...

hey

I use drugs and to an extent I agree. Drugs haven't improved my overall quality of life - they're fun at the time sure, and I still do them. Overall though, it's just made me a lot more hazy and it sounds weird but I'm much more able to see things clearly, which means I feel odd and a bit off a lot of time - I kind of just sink into daydreams of philosophy way too easily, which is something I didn't do before.

There's not much you can do, most will just think it's harmless fun until they've done a bit too much like I have and they notice that something's switched up there. I think the best thing to do would be to try to have fun with them while they're not on drugs and show them that the concentration and ability to experience a wider range of emotions (perhaps just not to the same degree) possible while sober can harness some of the most fun.

I use drugs and they've had a positive impact on my life. Before drugs (weed and psychedelics), I was anxious and depressed. I had potential, but I had no motivation, I was too low. Then came my use of weed and it catalyzed the effects of the meds x100, and made my recovery fast. My interest in science and everything grew stronger. The truth is that some people shouldn't do drugs and some people can, and might be bettered. It's a personal choice. However I hate it when people try to say "you can get addicted" for non-addictive drugs (physiological addiction).

Honestly, there isn't a lot you can do. These people have to make the choice to quit using for their own good. To avoid losing friends or alienating family is simply not reason enough. And telling their parents or school employees doesn't change anything; if they want to use, then they will continue to, regardless of external effects. I say this from experience.

Maybe just try to explain to them (if they are a close friend) that you're concerned about their drug use and how it may be harming them. I think that's about the best you can do. But certainly don't get wrapped up in it yourself.
