I’m getting tired of people who talk about drugs and joke about them like they’re silly little things that don’t have the ability to cause major damage to your physical and mental health. Some of my friends talk about how they want to use drugs like weed, alcohol, and basic smoking/vaping when they're older, and i get the argument that some people want to take them through the gaze that it'll give them relief with mental health and things like that. But also, I think that logically it would make better sense to just find different routes to improve your mental state. Because why in the right state of mind would you want an addiction? Every person I’ve talked to who takes or has taken drugs tells me “hey, don't fucking do it” or just treats it as something not too serious when I feel that is something serious, dying from lung cancer in lame you gotta admit that at least. Although I might be a bit biased to being against it because I grew up in the environment that an alcoholic father creates, but personally I see that as only giving me more insight to what drug addiction can do to the people around you.
Why do people seem to take drugs without thought

I can only speak for myself as someone who was absolutely not in their right mind while wishing I could use any substances like that at all, but it can be a deliberate attempt at ruining your own health, either with death in mind orjust to sorta punish yourself in a way. Can also be the temporary relief you described, but the reason someone might not look for better options varies a lot. Maybe they don't trust those around them and thus don't wanna seek help, maybe they have no good resources available around them (including actually good therapists), maybe they just don't care about being healthy at all or when they will die and just wanna squeeze whatever they think they can out of life while ignoring the obvious harm. It really depends. I personally am kinda scared for my future cause I find myself wanting to drink whenever I'm in a bad mood even though I know damn well it makes it worse (don't question how I can drink as a minor, the adults around me somehow let me have a bit from time to time). But with the concern in mind do I still wish I could drink more? Unfortunately yes, and on worse days I am way more casual about it. Still heavily agree that nobody should do that (esp minors), even if I have a hard time telling that to myself

Judging people’s choices isn’t cool
There's a difference between bad and good judgment, yes I technically am judging but I am being reasonable and giving my insight to the situations around me. No where in this post do I believe that I was being rude to people who use drugs. I simply posted this because I wanted to share me view and hear other views, but from your comment it seems that you are offended by that.

Okay sooo… I wasn’t trying to fight or anything I just wanted to say how I felt too, like you did. Someone really close to me actually died because people judged them for using drugs, and it hurt a lot. So sometimes I get kinda emotional about it. I think it's totally okay to have different opinions, but I just wish people could be a little more kind, even when they don't understand everything. We’re all just trying our best, right?

People may want to try or experience the feelings of drugs because since we were young we were told to NOT do drugs. So it's kind of a curiosity into why we were told to not too.
