WHY PEOPLE REALLY TAKE DRUGS

Image via Wikipedia

A few "pleasant" effects of some drugs:

ALCOHOL - makes most of us "happy", initially, and creates the illusion of general friendship; others can be aggressive.

TOBACCO - calms nerves by relieving the craving it has created.

VALIUMS - remove (numb) the pain and revulsion at the world that we have created.

AMPHETAMINES - give us energy and intensity of thought.

CANNABIS - provokes short-term "peace of mind"; relaxation
and thought.

ECSTASY - provokes emotion that people think is joy and love.

L.S.D. - causes pleasure and a magnified appreciation of the awesome immensity of reality.

HEROIN - creates a "shield" or "bubble" that protects one from the "outside world vibes".
