Why Do You Drink, Smoke And Abuse Drug? by bilms(op): 3:13pm On Jun 26, 2021
Why do you drink, smoke and abuse drug?

Let's have a honest conversation
Re: Why Do You Drink, Smoke And Abuse Drug? by GboyegaD(m): 3:21pm On Jun 26, 2021
I chose not to in my case for the following reasons:

1. Smoked in JSS 1 however, there was a day the housemaster came unexpectedly looking for me. I brushed my teeth many times yet, it wouldn't clean my breath. Couldn't look up talking to him and I felt should he know and my parents get to know, they will be disappointed in me. After that day, I learned whatever I will do that I can't take pride in openly, I am desisting.

2. Took beer (stout) once in my late teen years, diluted it with so much coke and it was still bitter. At that point I knew it wasn't meant for me. Occasionally, I could do Vodka which I learned to drink in graduate school however that would be maximum 2 times in a year.

3. For drug abuse, I no get the power to do dat one. How people swallow/inhale/inject substance is something I still do not understand.

Does taking overdose of normal prescription count as drug abuse?
Re: Why Do You Drink, Smoke And Abuse Drug? by Sterope(f): 4:00pm On Jun 26, 2021
Yes if intentional or habitual

The only time I took weed was when my evil roommate used it to cook beans unknowingly.

The question is, why are you taking overdose of drug?
Re: Why Do You Drink, Smoke And Abuse Drug? by chatinent: 4:32pm On Jun 26, 2021
Intentional overdose is drug abuse.

Re: Why Do You Drink, Smoke And Abuse Drug? by crackhaus: 4:50pm On Jun 26, 2021
Never abused drugs before...

But why did I used to drink and smoke (strictly weed plus the occasional crack?)
Because it was a lot of fun, simple!

Do I still drink? Only whenever I feel like, which is very rare and mostly indoors... hardly in public
Do I still smoke? I haven't in a long time. Doesn't mean I won't ever do it again. I still might...

Was I ever addicted to either?
Absolutely not, because I discovered early-on that once you are intentional about whatever you want to do (drinking/smoking), it becomes so much easier to practice moderation and not go overboard.

Normal prescription doesn't work for me.

No matter how long I continue the medication, it has to do with my system I guess.


I was always a sick as a child(mom said so) and even while growing up. I took all manner of medicine including local ones.

At a point I stop falling sick.(Was already an adult then)


But I noticed that normal prescription doesn't work for me anymore. I told my Doc, he knows my medical history, he told me to continue with normal doses that my system will pick up with time but it's not happening.


For instance, I take a card of paracetamol 3 times else I will finish 2-3 cards before there will be any improvement. Taking 2 tabs kinda increases the headache.

This hardly happens because I rarely fall sick.


If normal prescription is 500mg - 1000mg, I will need like 1500 - 2000mg otherwise there will be no improvement for a long time, a very long time.


This is not just about paracetamol, same applies to all drugs and it bothers me a lot.
Re: Why Do You Drink, Smoke And Abuse Drug? by Sterope(f): 5:12pm On Jun 26, 2021
This is very curious. I thought it was going to be limited to pain medications.

You should document your history with drugs for emergency purposes.

Make sure to check your vital organs from time to time... Just to be on the safe side

I drink because of social reasons, when with friends. I also like the feeling when taken in moderation. Has a feel good vibe.

In my younger days, I used to go overboard at times. Now I just take a bottle or two of beer once in a week or fortnightly. Sometimes a sip of brandy here and there.

No to drugs and smoking. That shīt will kill you.

I think there's need for you to see a different doctor in a general or specialist hospital.

You need to give them all necessary information to receive appropriate medical advise.

Generally, using overdose is not healthy for you in the long run.

You need to be properly guided

Thank you for the advice.



This doesn't happen often though, like I haven't taken any tabs this year. I eat healthy and I am mindful of what I drink so I rarely fall sick.

If I feel slight headache or maybe body pain, I will exercise to sweat it out. Works most times.

Drugs are not meant to be used without prescription

So I prescribed marijuana for myself, it works against cold

I don't abuse drugs...
I drink when I'm in a jolly mood...atleast a bottle or two...
Smoking is a big "NO" for me, the shit kills.

If you stay in Okon-Eket, and you're in need of a lesson tutor for your kids...i'm the right man for it.

You can also take black tea as a drug replacement for headaches, muscle cramps and fever. It helps.

I smoke a stick of Oris 1ns in 2 weeks...

" I smoke Oris when I'm lonely and full of emotions"

Although I hate it... But the nicotine rush is harmfully sweet... I hope to stop soon Sha... Cause I can go months without abusing it.
