You hear a lot these day, of the troubles that are caused by drugs. They can break apart families and destroy us as people. Some say that it is good. It can be a coping mechanism or an escape. What do you think? If you think drugs are good or bad please explain.

Advil, good. Penicillin, good.

Heroin, not so much.

@Palivinya191,
That query needs a qualifier.

Addictive drugs obtained without a prescription can be very destructive.

Whereas, the taking of prescribed drugs for a diagnosed illness or disease can be constructive - especially when following the medical instructions and monitored properly.

I don't think drugs are good for the above. They are good when you are ill and need them to get better - some drugs will save your life.

But if you are usuing them for coping or escape, it is only a short-term solution so even if they were not addictive you are not solving whatever issue you have, just using drugs to hide behind it - thus they are bad when used in this way.

I could perhaps, maybe a little bit, understand if you are getting help to solve your longer term issues, perhaps in the short-term under a doctor's guidance use to just to help you cope short term while working for the longer term solution.

I don't think it is that simple. Heroin (in a slightly different form than street heroin) has very important medical uses in pain management.

@Palivinya191,
In medical terms or just to try something once,yes it is not bad.
In everyday term in where you are addict willing to sell you ass just to get to see at least drug,no because addiction is problem. But same can be said for lot of things not just drugs, because addiction to anything in general is always bad.

Some drugs OK, others bad.

My question is... if all the hard drug users (heroic, crack, meth, pcp) didn't have their drugs... where would they be?

Out causing mayhem some other way or be a functioning part of society? Are some people pre-disposed to be a waste of human life?

Hey Palivinya191

I'm honestly not fond of drugs or medications, I hate the side-effects, But I also believe that they are sometimes necessary but shouldn't be depended on. I truly think that they are not bad, it's how people abuse their effects that ultimately shatters its purpose. If meds are use properly for necessary reasons then it's good but if it's being used illegally then it's bad. It's that simple.

@Palivinya191,
I think drugs are good or bad is depend on the purpose of using drugs.
If you are using drugs when you are ill its good but when you are using them for coping that time drugs are bad.

I don't think drugs are useful for the abovementioned. They are great when you are sick and need them to improve - a few medications will spare your life.

In any case, on the off chance that you are usuing them for adapting or departure, it is just a momentary arrangement so regardless of whether they were not addictive you are not understanding whatever issue you have, simply utilizing medications to take cover behind it - consequently they are awful when utilized along these lines.

I could maybe, perhaps a tad, comprehend in the event that you are motivating help to unravel your more drawn out term issues, maybe in the present moment under a specialist's direction use to simply to enable you to adapt present moment while working for the more drawn out term arrangement.

Some of the drugs are good for medical reasons, and some that make you just feel good, and some that are hard core that are really bad. Seriously it depends on many things, some people can control the feeling of need and some people can't, in most people they can't control it, it becomes an addiction, and then ruins their life.

For me, taking drug is bad as this affects us mentally or physiologically and also, takes us away from the present moment into fantasy out of our control.
