Drug/alcohol users....how important is it?

I don't have intense or unwavering desire to be intoxicated. I just enjoy it sometimes.

I use marijuana every day for medical reasons.

Drugs are bad mmkay

I'm 18 and marijuana is the only drug I do and I usually smoke it everyday. I get myself in a good state of mind before I start smoking, I'm the happiest and most content when I'm high and then afterward I want to take a break and then do it again. I am not addicted in the least. As a matter of fact, last Saturday was the last time I smoked and because I'm applying for a new job soon, I've stopped smoking it all together just in case the job requires a drug test. The fact that I can go from smoking everyday to not smoking at all and being completely fine proves just how "dangerous" marijuana is.

I am in drug court and have a very minimal urge to use. I love marijuana but hate jail and maybe deportation. I abstain from drug use now because that resulted in a felony. Thanks, but no thanks. No bud since June 24, 2012
- Boo and Yay.

I don't ever "need" it, but cravings happen. Especially when I watch videos of people ripping bongs. X3

If anything a slight need would arise because of my stomach problems, but I'm still perfectly capable of eating without it. I have GERD and a fucked up gallbladder, a lot of difficulty swallowing. Smoking just makes eating more pleasant.

I don't do drugs. Drugs are bad, kids.

You don't get messed up from smoking weed. Its not alcohol...

For addicts, its comforting. It's something to have control over something to let your mind calm down and not feel the pain of reality.

I find myself in the mood to take drugs but don't because of work and responsibility but probably took ecstasy twice last year smoke a joint once month drink 1 once a month depends how you are as a person.

I stray away from "hard" drugs such as coke or heroin and I don't consider Marijuana to be a drug. But I do use it socially, simply for the fun of it (:

ur wrong whoar3you ger sum better weed bro

I don't need cannabis... I just smoke it when I get it.

2. I do not need cannabis, but I enjoy it.

I smoke weed. Its a habit I wish to leave behind me, however it won't just happen over night.

Typically my addiction consist of me being sober for 3-4 days, causing me to crave weed, then when I finally do get my hands on some, I roll up, smoke it, and in about 20mins immediately regret ever touching the shit again.

Its a viscous cycle that I can't seem to escape.

Glad that I'm not a crack head though I guess.

i used to HAVE to get high or drunk everyday, back when i was a teenager...i did everything i could because i was desperate;like sleeping pills, weed, cough syrup even mouthwash if i didnt have alcohol.

One day i had a really bad trip off something similar to lsd and gave me post tramatic stress disorder...curing myself from that meant really forcing myslef to figure out myself and why i was doing drugs, all that shit. i even became religious (whens a better time to discover god when something REALLY bad happens to you lol) And those things cured me in about a year. I actually cant even do drugs anymore cause everything will give me a panic attack. Once in a while i will get typsy off some beer and watch tv, but i dont need to. Some days i really do miss smoking weed though.

Not very. I don't have an addictive personality.

Sometimes, after an overwhelming long day at work, I just wanna smoke a joint alone in my house and listen to music. I used to be pretty much any time and place for anything (including harder drugs) but I have grown out of that and now only use alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and veeeery occasionally some mdma. I feel like I have reached a point where I can successfully and appropriately moderate my intake, for example: saving substances for free time/enjoying substances like a treat and not as a necessity.

I'm 19 and female . I much prefer weed over alcohol. I'm a recreational smoker averaging about twice a week. I do crave it much more. Like every time I do something fun I automatically think about how weed can make it better

Not that important. I've gone without, for long periods of time, several times in my life and it's not a big deal. I like them though, I just don't feel they are always necessary.

I never really tryed drugs. But I've tried different types of alcohol. It taste like shit. I haven't tried beer though. But as for drugs, even weed. I try not to be so dependent on those things.

Its nice to come home after work to watch a good show, chill with friends, or troll, but if there's nothing on, friends are busy, or you're trolled out its nice to hit a bowl and giggle.

I really love red wine

Ehh, I am not a fan of drinking at all but I do it sometimes with my cousin. I'm probably going to call it quits though, it makes me feel like crap.

But I smoke weed sometimes (like once a week) and I would say a 1 or 2, it is prescription and sometimes I need it to eat, fall asleep, slow down or for my back pain and aspirin makes my stomach feel awful. I have a hyperactive thyroid so I run at a pretty high frequency and it becomes strenuous when I want to relax or go to sleep so I will smoke some weed and it will slow me down and afterwards I will either return to my high frequency (sometimes in a bit of a fog) or I will wake up feeling great.
