you don't have to do drugs to enjoy things but you also don't have to not do drugs sooooo... people just do
Does it ever bother you that there's a bug in your brain doing all of that? a friend of mine smokes lots of weed to help neutralize her social anxiety and I get that but the actual aversion i have towards this comes from the fact that I would be foregoing what little control I have of my mental state and opening up to something that might potentially screw me up even more.
you could also argue that she is medicating with weed, ie she is exerting the control that she needs
obviously drugs can take a very bad turn and breed dependance and other issues, you should always be mindful of consequences and repercussions... but that applies to everything doesn't it
and the bug thing doesn't bother me at all. we ingest things all the time, everything we put into our bodies we do for its effect. i mean if you stretch the issue, isn't chocolate also a drug? or tea/coffee? sweets? as animals we interact with what our environment gives us, that's kind of supposed to happen. be careful, obviously, but drugs are nothing more than controlled poisoning
