Why do people start abusing substances?
People are on habituating drugs for legit reasons. There are several classes of habituative drugs. There are also drugs which are habituative that do not fall in to the class of drugs of abuse. Anticonvulants, for example. Most Anticonvulsant drugs are habituative. They do not fall in to categories opiates, barbiturates, amphetamines. Sudden withdraw from these drugs is fatal. Drugs such as predisone can not be suddenly withdrawn either.
People abuse drugs (and substances) for many reasons. Medical marijuana can be one of them. Marijuana is a useful drug in treating epilepsy. But a high level, THC triggers seizures. Therefor a low THC strain must be used as well as a safe dose. Marujnana causes euporia. The patient will seek the eurphoria and take a larger (unsafe dose) and will seek high TCH strains of the plant.
People also use substances which are not drugs.

∙ 13y agoIn the case of medical drugs, people generally take them because they have been prescribed. In the case of recreational drugs, people most usually start taking them purely out of curiosity; they want to find out what it feels like to take that drug. There are additional reasons. People do not want their friends to think that they are too cowardly to risk trying a drug. People want to assert their independence from authority figures who have told them not to use recreational drugs. People use drugs because their friends offer them drugs, and it would seem to be impolite to refuse; it is always nice to be able to share the activities of your friends. And furthermore, people who refuse to take drugs are suspected of being narcs, or puritans. So there are lots of reasons. But sheer curiosity is still the leading reason.
