Escape.
In the end, we all need a form of escape from our problems. However, not all routes are right for us. Some people find music as an outlet to let out their issues, some people play ball to get past the problems, and some people just sleep. Those are all fine to me, but when people start succumbing to doing drugs in order to balance out the lows, then it starts becoming a problem. I personally don’t have problem with recreational use, but when the use becomes addictive and uncontrollable, the issues that were once at hand, suddenly come back twice as problematic. Yeah, the high is fun and all, but can you really rely on a short temporary fix by snorting, eating, and smoking shit that will eventually kill you? Yeah I smoke weed, yeah I do drugs, but I’m not doing shit every chance I get. I don’t need it to balance out my lows, that’s what my friends are for. If you have problems, no matter what you do to escape, you’re going to have to face them sooner or later. Drugs are not a permanent fix. Don’t try to drown yourself in a temporary euphoria because once you come back down, you feel even worse each time. So I encourage everyone to find an escape, we all need one. Just don’t rely on man made chemicals to try and avoid the problems. The problems will always be there, and until you want to face them head on, you’ll never conquer them.
