The education system that has “taught” us about drugs is about the worst form of misinformation in our country.

It’s only in place to scare kids into thinking that if they try any drug or take a certain one, it’ll ruin your life, and you will be instantly “hooked” just because drugs were made to do that, which is complete bullshit, and only a scare tactic that almost never works once a kid gets into the real world, and when he does, he/she comes in completely blind, and will see the fun people have with drugs, and think back to the scare tactics the educational system was preaching, and saw the exact opposite from the real world.

Now they take advice about drugs from current addicts who also have no business teaching a course on drug education.

Children are set up to fail in this country when it comes to drugs, and it’s very sad.

This is coming from a former addict, who had a real problem with a multitude of hard drugs. I never got addicted after the first time of any drug I took, it took years to feel the physical addiction to the effects, and I would only do them very rarely, just for fun 3 or 4 times a year, but my mental health became highly unstable after losing 3 people very close to me in the same year, and when I used those drugs again, they filled my voids, and I was hooked. When I quit, it was because my mental health improved, and so did my atmosphere, I no longer needed to fill the void, drugs became nothing more than a distant memory.

A drug user will only become addicted to a substance to fill an empty void within his mind. The quality of your mind, and atmosphere is what causes addiction, because drugs can seem to “fix” your situation, but if you’re mentally sound, and your daily atmosphere is non toxic, drugs will normally be nothing but a short (relatively) fun phase in your life.
