Catholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell.
There are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent.
While suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as diseases, intense pain, or anguish.
Therefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin.
We are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart.
The Code of Canon Law does not list suicide as a reason to deny a person a Catholic funeral. http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__P4C.HTM
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
On mortal sin, paragraphs 1857-1859: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect1chpt1art8.htm#1857
On suicide, paragraphs 2282-2283: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art5.htm#2282
With love and prayers in Christ.

Suicide is wrong. Because God wants us to have a chance to live in this world and make a benefit in here in some way or another. Suicide is also considered a murder

religious wise it is wrong, it states in the bible that our bodies are temple of God, and just destroying of any Temple of god will be wrong. religious wise it is wrong. also, it states that there is no temptation that god can place upon on us in which we can not handle, therefore by taking our lives due to problems is a way to say that god has failed or has lied.

Yup it is wrong because no one has the right to take our life except the one who gave it to us.
