How amny of you knowing friends or people having the drug problem?

In our country Bangladesh, the poor and downtrodden are more addicted (they are also involved in this business in small way) to drugs and weeds. Alcohol is too expensive for most of the people here for addiction item.
What I have experienced is that it is a sort of abdication and degeneration of 'authority' and 'responsibility' in the hierarchy of the society we live. In early 1960s and 1970s we would find that the family and peer pressure were a big deterrents which has now evaporated as the information on everything is easily available to the people and they can see that if such evil things are fashionable in Western and civilized country then what is the harm to give them a try.
So, in a nutshell, we are having shortages of Role-models in our societies which are one of the major causes for the proliferation of addicts.
I have one known male member in our extended family that not only drained his own life down the drain, but also made his entire family miserable and poorer.

Many people start taking drugs while they are young. Maybe they see older people doing it, or for whatever they fall into it. They do make life miserable for everyone around them. I have a friend whose brother started using heroin in 1971 after his parents had him go to rehab for pot. He was 13 then. Now he steals his mom's meds. She has had cancer off and on for years and he steals her pain and sleeping meds which she really needs. On the other hand, out of her 6 kids, she loves her junkie son the most. He really "needs" her.
Life is complicated and confusing for many people, and lots of them just don't want to feel it all,or as little as possible.
I had lots of friends from high school who died before they were 25. I graduated in 1973. I moved from a very affluent area of CT/NY to western Montana because I was/am so sick of
drug use. Of course, now Montana thinks it's #1 for meth use.

It's a world-wide epidemic!Ignorance is the only thing I can tell you as to why.I got addicted to drugs that I thought I could handle,only to find out I was an addict.I was ignorant to the facts.Drugs are cunning baffling and powerful.Peer pressure,is the common reason so many start.Education is the key to solving some of these problems,but it is not getting though to alot of people.Families need to start out at an early age,telling their love-ones about the terror of drug use..PEACE AND I HAVE BEEN CLEAN FOR 12+YEARS.NA IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED FOR ME!!!

It's because everybody else is doing it. Haven't you noticed how quickly trends spread? Like wildfire!!! I know plenty of people who smoke weed. I don't associate with people who do anything else, weed is bad enough. I guess only a handful of people have any intelligence left. Maybe we can start a drug free trend someday!

I agree. I guess they are too selfish to consider the misery of those who love them the most.
I have no idea what they're thinking, they must push away the thought from their minds because they don't want to feel guilty about it. Did you ever notice how defensive they get if they're confronted by the pain and misery they cause?
I hope parents would pay more attention to their kids before they fall into this dirty pit of drugs, alcohol and most especially weed, because it's the most common and the fastest spreading drug.

To tell you the truth half of my family has had or still is using it... i had lost my father to drugs but thank GOD my mother didn't get involved with it or other wise i would have killed myself along time ago... n it is the way it makes your body feel u feel so free and that nothing can hurt them... all so people like to go to it when they have problems they get believe that it will help make the problems go away....that is how people intend to get on drugs. ( i no this because i have gotten hooked on prescriptions, i have a health condition)

The same reason there are so many people who overeat and are obese. These people are abusing substances to deal w issues going on in their lives. People say they abuse drugs or overeat b/c they're stressed but they're really trying to cope w their pain or problems in life.
Virtually everyone I know has some kind of problem - either w alcohol, drugs, or food.

Well I have quite a few in my family and they make the rest of us miserable, even though we love them we do think in the long run it catches up with them, and they really are some of the stupidest people you talk to and in their high state of mind ,God, I just want to shoot myself when they are telling me their en-lighted ideas.
Oh!,and the ones who smoke weed and think they are smart just sit and listen to one of these fruit bags after a few years of smoking pot," Duh I'm so cool I was just thinking the sky is so blue,so cool duh,"on & on & on. No brain cells living there!! And they always need a few bucks to get by.
