The reasons for why a person gets addicted arresting not well understood . Some do it as an escape from everyday stress and worries . Some do it because after the first experience/ experiment they are hooked and mentally unable to resist it. And some seem to have a physical/ mental makeup that predisposed them to addiction. For many a reason will never be found . Drug and alcohol abuse have been with us from the dawn of time . I don't look for it to quit anytime soon

Yep, nothing new, it goes all the way back to those fermented figs and pears in the Garden of Eden and continuing to this day.

Experimented with the devil's lettuce a bit in high school. Never found much to enjoy about it.

I think the word you’re looking for isn’t high, it’s called addiction. Have you ever smoked cigarettes and tried to quit? That craving for a cigarette and the excuses you come up with in order to not have to quit smoking at the moment, this is addiction. Some people have a more addictive weakness than others.

I know I know the answer @fatcat458 but I'm too high to remember it.

Some people NEED to get high so they can eat or sleep. Your question is VERY broad but if you ever have a friend or family member go through cancer( and I pray that you don't) then you will understand there are some VERY good qualities to marry Jane.
Like others stated, the really bad stuff......peer pressure and curiosity. Some of those and your instantly hooked from the 1st try.

I don't get the "high" thing....but I do have a drink here and there some evenings. I have a "to do" list that would make a platoon of grown men cry most days so shutting down and letting go of everything is a bit quicker with a few sips of something and a good TV show or dinner conversation with friends.

I worked with many clients over the years that got High or used substances due to abuse or trauma in their lives. It started as an escape but ultimately turned into another issue for them.....

An acetylene torch helps.

Like everything else, moderation if you want to- plus you don’t have to actually smoke, gummies and a cold Coors ain’t that bad

I personally have never been high never plan on it... But I am from the marijuana capital of the world and I have seen many people start the long road of drug abuse with pot. My mother age 74 my father age 75 feel that it is very much The Gateway Drug. Also most people who are heavy pot smokers are liberal because there minds have been expanded. So they believe all the nonsense the communist/; democrat party preaches.
They believe in Strawberry Field's forever and Yellow submarines....
Ok, I'm done lol

When I was around 18
Smoked some and drank some
JMHO people drinking toomuch got brave and obnoxious wanted to fight got loud and some times just puked ther guts out
People smoking pot became more relaxed non violent just wanted to enjoy the feeling of uforia or being high as you ask
Ask any cop who they had preferred to arrest a total drunk who was combative or just a person high on pot just doing as ask i am not taliking the harder drugs that truly turn peope crazy
I knew countless pot smokers that never moved on to harder drugs and had no problem just stopping but also knew a lot of alcoholics that never let go of the addiction drank them self to death basicly same with cigarette smokers never stopped even with a hole I the neck to breath thru ,smoked up to there death
I do not remember one person dying from just smoking pot
Granted I sure some dod from auto accidents but same with drinkers
No way to explain why peope get high its the feeling of calm and uphoria and people have done since day one
Even a lot of animals eat fermented fruit to get that feeling
My experience was truly limited and can only post what I know And seen
It's late may not make a lot of sense but I think human nature also cones into play
Querosity what will this do will it help or hurt me many wonderfully medicines have came about by people over the ages experimenting with countless drugs and plants

I was addicted to tobacco for a long time. This coming Sunday will be my 38th year of beating the addiction. When My brother was in college he invited my wife and I to a George Carlin show at his college. After about 10 minutes all you could smell in the auditorium was pot smoke. I wound up with a throbbing headache and vowed never to touch that crap, and I haven't.
