Addiction: From coffee and tea to drug abuse

  Now I'm gonna write about a very interesting topic... drugs, and is very interesting to me just because I'm a potencial addict to everything, I know this might sound bad, but I have a very addictive personality. It's because when I like something I got more and more into the thing, this not happens just with drugs, happens with most of the things I enjoy. And as I know that fact about me I control myself and I have said "No" to most of the hard drugs. It is fun when I'm talking with someone and I say that I don't drink coffee, (I know this is not a hard drug) people just lose their minds, about marijuana they turn more comprehensive... but many people just don't accept that I don't drink coffee. But being completely honest I just drink alcohol, but a level where I'm not an addict, I drink just for recreational time with friends, if there is a way to say that I would pick this one.

   I'm not actually in any drug, I guess, because being some kind of addict to music it's not an actually drug (jeje), I have kinda tried marijuana, just as a passive smoker (Because I haven't realised where I was till it was too late and I was already "high"... my bad) and felt the dizzy effect in my mind, under the context where I was, this was not a very good experience with the popular plant, and I haven't smoked ever again. Another drug that I could be into is the alcohol, but as I said before I'm not an addict, and my experience with alcohol is very normal, a dizziness and hapinness mixed, have to mention that I have never got really really drunk, I just drink some glasses of beer, or whatever the drink that there were, and got happy or more enthusiastic (maybe is not the best description but is the most honest one) so I have never lost my consciousness, I'm kinda proud about it.

  Well, one funny thing about my friends is that all of my friends, at least, smoke marijuana, so I have seen the effects that the plant produces in my friends being completely sober myself, and it's a funny experience, to see my friends getting more wasted and happy at the same time. I've seen how the marijuana produces a dizziness and a silliness in my friends, sometime this is mixed with alcohol and the effects are not very different, in their behavior I mean, is the only thing that I can see. The most funny thing comes at the next morning when I have seen my friends completely wasted, with headaches and hungry, also in a very drowsy status, perhaps they don't enjoy that part as much as I do when I'm the sober, but I have never been that bad... perhaps just a little.

  The next part got me really astonished, it turns out that some drugs have some benefits that were used in old medicine. It was a surprise to me the fact that cocaine was used as a coagulant, and also to fight vasoconstrictions. And I guess that everybody these days know the benefits of marijuana, that doesn't mean that it has just benefits, but is not 100% bad as many people see it.

  I mentioned before that I don't do most of the drugs because of my personality, and is beacuse I know some risks of the drugs, many influenced by the addiction that could create in my person, and the addiction generates more problems, such as mental disorders, paranoia, mood swings and the bad status that you can reach by abstinence of your drug, which also implicates a money problem because you spend all of it in that subtance that has got you in their strings, and that abstinence can produce even more problems to your health, such as lose of weight, of money, of mind and people you love, and maybe lose everything. I have to say that I hate the dependence to things, another reason to not do any drug.

  I actually don't know anybody who is in a very important drug situation, just some tramps that I see wasted by alcohol, they don't look very well, and are in extreme poverty, that's the thing that I can describe about them. But is a very important thing for our society, we have a lot of people who has lost everything for drugs, or that starts to commit crimes to get the drug... or at university where students start to consume some drugs to stay awake and be able to study the whole night, which is not a very sane thing to do.
