Well to me, it's not hard at all to imagine why people do drugs. It's all over the place for starters. But why do they like drinking or smoking, or cheating on their wives, it's because it makes the brain feel good (the latter makes something else feel good too). The fact that we are sitting her conversing online and debating this is all part of our ancestors doing what felt good, and what was good for survival.

Why do people risk their livelihoods and reputations for an affair? And brilliant people to boot.

Feeling good is something everybody strives for, some people do it by eating right and exercise. Some do it by not eating right and not exercising. Some people do it by praying and going to church, some people do it by giving to charity and raising kids/sending them to college. Some people do it by creating music, art or just listening to music.

Others do it by more damaging means

It's all about the bottom line, how does this thing make me feel.

With drugs rarely does it begin with the hard drug. its usually as innocent as smoking your first cigarette or joint, or drinking your first beer. For most people thats enough naughtiness, but for others they want more. And how some people get terribly addicted and others dont has alot to do with genetics.

You take Crosby Stills and Nash for an example. They were all hippies, all abusers, all had money to buy whatever they wanted, but Crosby was the one who needed the liver transplant, and needed to go to prison, and had to rehab his whole life. Genetics decides alot of things. Most things actually. Genetics even decides if somebody will be evil. You cant just become evil as in Hitler or Stalin or a serial killer, you have to be born that way and wired that way.

But even the innocent can get wrapped in the drug spiral. Trying it for a first time, and then getting hooked fast.
