Best Answer

Many different reasons:

1. The toxins released create a sense of euphoria (happiness)

2. A way of socialising (to fit in)

3. Can make you delusional (forget bad stuff that has happened)

4. Releases pain (is used medicinally like a pain killer)

Because they want to feel better. some drugs are painkillers so people take a lot of those so they have no pain all the time, the more often it happens, the dependent the body is on the drug. some drugs go in peoples noses which make then feel better, but can rot out the nose.

No, it is not against the law. Some people take them down before that, some take them down the day after, some people leave them up for a long time after that. There is no law about it. It just makes sense to have them up during Christmas, so at least from Christmas Eve to the 6th of January. You are not breaking any law by doing it differently.

This type of question is called an oxymoron, or at least a self-contradictory sentence. Illegal drugs means that certain drugs are not legal, therefore not allowed. Although it is against the law, people use them, but no they are not allowed. New Zealand has very strict controls to prevent illegal drugs being brought into the country.
