what is the reason and why the hell do people do drugs?
Are you looking for a serious answer or are you just trying to justify your own ignorant misconceptions and/or troll?

a serious answer
What kind of answer are you looking for? I mean, it varies from person to person.
I use drugs as a means of inner exploration and self-discovery. I only use psychedelics (marijuana, shrooms, LSA, LSD). I'm not interested in opiates (heroin, pills, etc) or stimulants (cocaine, meth, speed, etc). I'm not interested in drugs that just make me feel good for a few hours. I use drugs that will reveal things to me.
Also, I like drugs that break down social barriers and allow people to connect on whole new levels. The bonds you create while tripping with a few close friends are unlike any you've ever known.
I don't use drugs as an escape. I don't use drugs to be rebellious. I don't use drugs for the image. I use drugs to learn.
However, as I said, it varies from person to person. Many people do use drugs as an escape. Many people do use drugs to be rebellious. Many people do use drugs for the image. It all depends on the individual and the drugs they are using.
Mind-expansion is my goal for drug use.

okay
I smoke weed because it's very relaxing, and also that mind-expansion stuff.
I do adderall because my asshole doctor said I have ADD and decided that speed of all things was the best solution and then I found out what happens if you take more than one

I'm getting tested for ADD here fairly soon. I'm certain that I've got it. I mean, when smoking pot, of all things, helps me pay attention in class, I know something's wrong.
Why? Feels good man.
Different drugs for different bugs, hombre.
Weed is mostly a social thing, but also for the philosophical and spiritual attributes, it also alleviates my insomnia, speeds up my metabolism, helps me with creative outlet...
Actually that's just about every drug, except for some which aren't social.
Most of the people on Facepunch are highly intelligent, I mean we all came here for the same thing, so many of the people who fall under the category of "drug user" are mostly likely [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychonaut]psychonauts[/url].
Others maybe in it just for the enjoyable experiences, good feelings, and overall party associated with recreational drug use.
Either way, we all share a common interest in altered states of being, and even if "drugs" are as bad as believed by the general population, we still wouldn't care.

Same here actually.
I think it's a matter of me losing interest in different things at a rapid rate.
And weed makes these things more interesting, therefore allowing me to concentrate on an individual thing longer because I appreciate it more.
Helps me get chores/oddjobs done, and, I know this is a very cliché thing to say, concentrate more while driving.
feels good man

I'd say most are fairly intelligent. The internet just happens to bring out the idiot in most people
Why do anything? I could list tons of possible negative outcomes for any activity, but just because there is the possibility does not mean it will occur.
The way people are taught about drugs is that there are only negative side effects and that they are pointless to do.
Show a person's terrible life, say it's not their fault and rather that it's the drug's fault.
The way I see it, someone doesn't want to eat meet and be a vegetarian, fine for them, but don't tell me not to eat meet. If someone doesn't want to do drugs and be straight edge,fine for them, but don't tell me not to do drugs. It's just a personal choice.
Why not? I know where to get them, I have money and I'm an extremely bored individual. I respect people like Anubis who use them for mental spelunking, but I can honestly say I haven't learned a single useful thing about myself or the world through the use of LSD, 2C-B or Mushrooms thus far.
If anything I benefited from (extensive) use of stimulant and empathogen's like MDx chemicals and Amphetamines; I'm closer with the circle of friends I used to do that stuff with with than anyone else in my life because they know EVERYTHING about me and I know EVERYTHING about them and there isn't a damn thing that could separate us.
It wasn't peer pressure that got me into drug use, it wasn't a social thing either; it was boredom, it was a desire to break the circle of normality and tedium my life had become and it worked beautifully.

I'm the same way. Smoking has brought all of my friends closer to me, a level that can never be reached by normal means. Also, it wasn't peer pressure to get me into them, it was a decision me and 2 friends made...and im glad we did :)
Because we all know sobriety sucks.
Shit feels good.
Weed is safer than alcohol
as demonstrated heware ( said in cartman voice )
But seriously, it's greatly relaxing for me and i can still have a good time and be in control while high, when i'm drunk i'm an idiot..

holy shit what world leader screwed that up

it was done at some uni

I use them to escape.
I like to chill.
I use drugs to enhance the intensity of my surroundings and make various realizations regarding the deep aspects of life.
I smoke because it relieves the stress in my busy day. My nights are quiet but my days can get pretty hectic. Smoking relaxes me and makes the evenings go by a lot nicer. It also controls my anger. Normally I can have a fiesty little temper (though it's not violent or abusive) but if I've smoked within the past few days it doesn't flare up.
Feels
Good
