The Mind of a Drug Addict

Ouch this one's going to hurt if you happen to be addicted to drugs or even food I guess. Well let's be true to the title and stick to drugs. First of all, if you happen to be an addict I would advise you to please go back to youtube or whatever it is you were doing (most likely drugs but don't do that, it's bad for you silly) because this might make you cry and I don't like when you cry. The world is a little bit sadder when you cry muffin so please don't it. And if your baby sees you he might join in your cry fest and essentially create a much louder cry fest. Now you've woken up the neighbors (I've heard you have odd schedules, so it's probably past midnight and most normal people use this as sleepy time) and they're going to hate you even more than they secretly do already. Now you have angry neighbors who are going to be mean to you the next time you need to borrow sugar or you need a tickle buddy for your weekly "tickle fight party" that you've been planning to start when your nose isn't busy eating drugs. Now the only fun you've had planned that doesn't involve a poisonous substance is in jeopardy simply because you didn't turn away from this page when I told you too. So this is your one last chance to go away now.

Allll right well at this point hopefully I drew all the drug addicts away while I roast them and please don't tell them because I don't want them to be sad, it could be our little secret ;) Like our other one, the one that may or may not involve fuzzy hats and jelly doughnuts. Oh you know what I'm talking about. That time where I was the only one who would listen and you knew, wouldn't judge you. You were reluctant at first but due to the way I dress you thought to yourself "hmm maybe he's into it too." And lucky for you, I grew up with a strong passion for fuzzy hats and had recently began to develop a taste for those delicious...ahhhhhh...those delicious little pillows of joy directly from heaven that will always prevent me from attempting to lose weight (if I ever even decide to go that route, probably not to be honest). Anyway, that's all I'm going to tell. As promised, your secret's safe with me.

Questions:
1. How does one come to the conclusion that it's a good idea to intentionally inject poison into the blood stream stream?
2. How does one decide that it's a good idea to repeatedly inject poison into the blood stream while knowing full well that the last time it happened, not only did the needle hurt but it also altered your sense of being?
3. Why aren't the physical effects (as far as appearance) enough to make people stop?
4. Brain Damage?

Answers:
1. Quite simple actually. The reason addicts get started is because all the cool people do it. I mean can you honestly imagine NOT doing something that all the cool people are into? Well that's how they think. Their minds aren't strong enough to just say "NO." In some cases the minds are too underdeveloped to make a logical decision but in most cases, there is no excuse. If the addict began using at a young age, they can use the excuse that the brain wasn't capable to make the right choice due to underdevelopment which led to drug injections which led to brain damage which led to repeated use but at this point, EVERYONE knows that drugs are not a smart thing to get into. At an early age we're taught that. But some still do it. Why? Because of the cool people.

2. This one has always flustered me. We've already figured out why they start so why do they continue? Although we all know that drugs cause long term damage, the short term effects are what drives these people to repeat. After use, it makes them feel good. But not really. I mean to me, it's not real because something else caused it. It's not you it's an altered state of you. Why would you want to feel a fake feeling? And I don't buy that depression excuse either because I've been through it too and still I am as drug free as a bowel of organic grapes. I cant answer this without coming to the conclusion that quite simply, they lack self control which is a nice way of saying that they're stupid.

3. Have you ever seen a meth head? What about a heroin addict? Please take this time to google this in images. Let me know when you're done. Done yet? Ouch. I apologize for putting you through that. I would hope that looking like that would be enough to put an end to their use but it doesn't. They just don't care. But when they look in the mirror there is no way to be proud of what they see. If you look like that, how could you not care at that point? I'm hoping that it would eventually lead to an ending of use but due to brain damage, general weak mindedness, and the proven lack of ability to make a good decision, it probably won't :\

4. Yes
