It's the feeling , just like drinking , smoking , gambling , sex . I know people who drink that are worse than addicts yet they don't think drinking is bad yet look down on pill poppers
Try to explain , it's no different , just 2 different methods to obtain a certain feeling .
It's the euphoria that locks yours ass in until you take it over or it continues with it's take over that it already has on you .

Most of us start dabbling with substances under age, when the brain aint fully developed and you are not even full equipped to deal with life struggles... and of course, once you do you have the addiction and all the problems that go with it. I always said "NO"... evetho I hung with punk rockers and skaters I was always a booze and cigs guy from 13-16, was not fond of the ganja much less the stronger stuff, but all it takes is a bad spell at home, a bad week, some peer pressure and god forbids a girl offers you getting high to fukk ... what, you gonna say no? Thats how I was introduced to cocaine, with sex.

And I was hooked. The rest is history... a bad choice during your teens can follow you forever.
