Because people are in pain and sometimes look for unfortunate ways to numb that pain. That's why we'll never win the war on drugs by attacking the supply side. Until people choose to find healthier ways to deal with their problems, the demand will always be there.

do you smoke or drink coffee or coke? are you addicted? we don't start out saying "I am going to be an addict". we start out just trying it or in my case, it was prescribed by a MD for a legit problem. Some people can drink and know when to stop or take that pill and know when to stop. Addicts have a chemical thing in the brain and we can't stop no matter how much suffering we do. Once I figured out that hey taking more than 1 makes me feel good and then before I know it I was doing 30 or 40 a day and I felt great.. I did it then to block out the pain of depression and loneliness. When you take that drink of coffee do you say "I am going to get addicted". of course not. it just happens.

That is a laugh, thanks for that.

That's all well and good if you've never tried it, but does nothing for those already addicted...Life just isn't that simple...
