They use drugs for the escape, or for the high, the buzz, the effect the drugs have on them. The drugs affect the brain, the thought processes. The drug users think their problems went away because the drug made them forget, or the drug users feel popular, witty, exciting because the drug made them forget they are not.
Projecting much?
Depending on the drug, let's take pot for example, it's just a nice feeling, a relaxing feeling, a way to destress. Like having some wine. There is nothing wrong with a little buzz that makes you feel nice. I don't know why people come down so hard on anything that is pleasurable.
Abusers of all substances, legal or illegal, do have problems.
You can't believe that EVERY person that wants to experience a high is trying to ESCAPE something. That is not true. Like I said in the thread, I don't smoke weed, but I have researched it and understand its effects. I will say that the physiological concept of a high sounds like a pretty interesting experience. If a person wants to do something as mildly harmful as cannabis usage to experience that euphoric feeling then why not?
The same thing happens when we go to the gym to exercise. You go and endorphins are released as you work out. Should people who are trying to relieve stress be looked down on because they are exercising?
The high from marijuana is not that interesting unless you want to have the experience of early or middle Alzheimers.

Good post. Recreational drugs have an undeserved bad reputation, but they are no different than other recreations.
"As marijuana addiction stories go, this is pretty typical. Entire families smoke all of the time and think there is no problem. Any problems that are there are seen as something unrelated to drug use. Marijuana has become like alcohol use, no big deal and any problems are ignored."
“I started using on a lark, a dare from a best friend who said that I was too chicken to smoke a joint and drink a quart of beer. I was fourteen at that time. After seven years of using and drinking I found myself at the end of the road with addiction. I was no longer using to feel euphoria, I was just using to feel some semblance of normality. Then I started having negative feelings about myself and my own abilities. I hated the paranoia. I hated looking over my shoulder all the time. I really hated not trusting my friends.
“I became so paranoid that I successfully drove everyone away and found myself in the terrible place no one wants to be in—I was alone. I’d wake up in the morning and start using and keep using throughout the day.” —Paul
“I was given my first joint in the playground of my school. I’m a heroin addict now, and I’ve just finished my eighth treatment for drug addiction.” —Christian
“The teacher in the school I went to would smoke three or four joints a day. He got lots of students to start smoking joints, me included. His dealer then pushed me to start using heroin, which I did without resisting. By that time, it was as if my conscience was already dead.” —Veronique

Do you have a point or just like to post useless links?

Of course they are useless to a druggie such as yourself. You could care less what the effects of drug use are on others. So long as you can smoke it and love it, without any retaliation. At least admit the facts. You want to use drugs and it be legal and be DAMNED what it does to anyone else, and/or society.
Marijuana is NOT the harmless drug people purport it to be. It is hazardous and causes addiction. The addiction to the drug, causes crime. The crime causes hurt, pain on innocent people. This causes increased costs on society as a whole.
But heck, you get to smoke your dope, and not get fined/or go to jail. You don't care what happens to the family across the street. Yet, you claim to be liberal and want to look out for the world.
More lies and misinformation from the liberal majority out there.

Don't smoke it if you don't like it. But stop trying to control other people.
