Drugs

Among the most attractive worldly things, we have drugs, don't we? And it starts from curiosity. We start by saying what you will feel, how you will act, how you will talk. But this thought is temporary because fear comes to replace it, to extinguish that sense of curiosity or desire. Because we are human and fear beats curiosity, fear of not reacting rationally or thinking that you would do unmentionable things under the effects of drugs. And then, there is the part where you dare to do it, and you enter in a completely different world. So, first in this essay I am going to share with you my experience from the side of those who dared to try drugs,then, how it affects you silently without realizing it, and lastly, I want to tell you a little bit about the drug cycle, and how it traps the majority.

It starts as a funny story you could say. The first time I used a type of drug, it was marijuana, with a friend. I remember feeling something that I would never in my life be able to experience or feel, I knew that nothing can make you think and feel in that way if it is not with some kind of drug. I was in the street with my friend and we did strange, ridiculous things, and I remember that I laughed a lot, at the same time I was very scared, because I knew that what I was feeling was not normal, or something that I wasn't used to feeling. I was so confused that I didn't even know what to do. So when the effect ended, I was able to analyze everything that had happened, and that's where the taste for this kind of feeling and sensation began.

I think we have all heard this comical phrase "Marijuana is harmless" I thought so, I have to admit. I used to think so, at first because all it did was; it makes you think better and think more, relaxed, it takes away stress, you breathe better in my case. Sounds like a lot of benefits, doesn't it? Well that's the problem. It gives you so many things that sober you could not even imagine, and that is why you turn it into a need or excuses to keep doing it. (I must add that I am not addicted and I do not have the need to consume every day) Making this clear, I am speaking from experience of course, both mine and others that I have had the opportunity to meet and see it in person, which led me to this conclusion. Marijuana does affect you, and you don't realize it, I say you don't realize it because you make it a habit to always feel good, even forget if you have problems. "It helps you," that's why you don't realize it when you're already in that hole.

The first and most important thing that I think everyone would be most interested in, is that if you start using a "harmless" drug like marijuana as they usually catalog it, you will have to dare to try more things, and you start this cycle where you are comfortable with a drug but you already tried another one, and you keep trying it from time to time, so you start to quit one, and start with another one because it makes you feel better or you like the way it makes you feel, and so on, until you get to that kind of drug that basically imprisons you, in the form of not being able to live without it. That's why I said; to try something like this for the first time; is to enter to a completely different world. Along the way you can learn, gain experience, or get lost.

In short, to emphasize, I say this from my experience, and give a true understanding of the reality of drugs. It is clear and evident that they can make you have a good time, I mean an amazing and different time. But the decision is up to us, if we want to sink or just want to learn, although I must say that the latter is more difficult than sinking and getting lost in the process.
