Well… Hmm… Simply being held in a addiction, like coke or because when you try drugs like meth it releases all your ‘happy hormones’ at once, then kills a few. So most people do meth over and over again to try and get an amazing high like they did their first time, but they can’t because it killed some of their hormones or cells or whatever they are called xD for more information you can email me at [email protected]
Edit: oh yes, some people do it to ‘help’ depression, and become dependent to it. When you become dependent you can’t do anything without it you feel like shxt and you can’t stop thinking about it. And what you need to understand the most is some people Don’t have a problem at all, they simply just enjoy it. Just because someone smokes weed doesn’t mean they’re depressed.
