Yeah it's all about moderation, we all got an escape drug,what I find unreasonable is how people overdose on this drugs.

Not everyone can withstand the heat
Not everyone is skilled in the art of living
It's very easy to let go considering the many fails
Some people need to constantly be in that state of Euphoria till a miracle happens. If not, they would do so much damage but the drugs

They keep finding new sources of highness.. Blood tonic again?? Shey they'll ban it like Tramadol now ni or what.

Why do people crave to get high? An honest question. Apart from the "forgetting one's problems" blabla, what else is in for them?

To be like their friends, appear trendy, derive pleasure, get bold, access creativity, and so on. Kindly let those little ones in mind around you that they can enjoy all these without abusing any drug.

TheWrita:
Nothing puzzling about that.
Drugs=escapism. That's the term for what's happening


When your life is nothing to write home about and there is no hope for the future..while the world around you (whereas this is the the misconception) is messed up,drugs become the perfect escape,albeit temporary.

They're not escaping from the world, they're running from their 'self' in its many manifestations.

As within, so without! - Trismegistus

I keep thanking God everyday for breaking the yoke of marijuana addiction.

It's not easy.

I wish you know the lives getting high had saved but5takung it in a moderated way...

I would have ended my life inside this house a Lott of times after hustling like a mad man fo month ND returning homage with still no jobs or dine.

I think of my you get sister and trying my phone for days only to get d courage to check me at home see me hanging from the ceiling will break her finally so I enter beer Palo, drink up and smoke and believe unto another day..

So long it's done in moderation
I consume drugs
As a matter of fact, I've been living on soft drugs in the past 2months trying to keep my sanity.

Bro, your sanity can still be preserved without resorting to "soft drugs." Drug abuse is bad in itself, hence lacking any mid-point within. It's just like saying raping for personal pleasure and sanity is cool, in so far as it is done in moderation. It sounds gross, right?

Try pouring your heart out to a mature person you trust, reading an inspirational book, praying and fellowshipping with Christ Jesus, making motivational and positive proclamations on yourself, et. al.

Same here bro,trust me I know that feeling of not getting your mind straight, those pills are functional if put to good use.

Kayceenaz:
Thanks, bro. Can you be more specific?

Okay.

Kayceenaz:

Blood tonic has an alcoholic content. Those who abuse it do so with this knowledge; the more they take it, the "higher" they get.

haba! first time I'm hearing of this.
so people intentionally take blood tonic for that purpose?

Kayceenaz:

I went through your decry and truly share your disgust, although you can still pass your message without vulgarity. Like you noted, drug abuse keeps Nigerian youths in the dark and unaware of their role in turning the tide in our nation. That's why people like you, I (and us) must preach against those ills which pose a threat to a better future across board.

Thanks. Modified

seriously, no one is promoting drugs, no artist..even in USA where cocaina usage is very high, who do u say promotes drug usage in that region artists? movie stars? I don't think so...I just believe drugs can be controlled but u can't eliminate it..we don't even do drugs in Nigeria compared to most countries...Canada, Netherlands, USA, Jamaica, Mexico, Colombia, have more drug kingpins than naija...do we even have any drug kingpin in Nigeria..lol.

I'm telling you even Asia is more than us, in Malaysia for example, methamphetamine known as ice is the drug of choice, they don't even care about tramadol, and other opioids over there, there own epidemic is methamphetamine,they call it siyabu in Malay, and they love that stuff so much.
