[ADVICE]Drugs in times of need? - Pink Floyd - 05-04-2010
A common suffering that many people are often oblivious to, is the use of drugs when we are feeling anxious, depressed, scared, etc. If you are using any substance when dealing with things that are difficult, it drastically affects the way you feel in a negative way.
Many people smoke marijuana to be temporarily high, when are in a situation of some sort. This strongly changes; motivation, happiness, performance, etc. Getting high may be something fun to do, but is not going to help in the slightest, when you're dealing with stuff.

Tons of people suffer from that, they not only have no idea, they completely reject the idea.
Just a little advice.

nice one..even i am personally against the use of drugs...
usage of drugs cannot be stopped one fine day..but u have to reduce the amount of drug intake day after day..and maybe try a rehabilitation course to get off with it..
i once had a friend who was very much addicted to drugs..but now..he is totally against it..
he even takes classes to support the drug addicts to overcome their addiction..
