Why do we take drugs? A little before our parents understand that we are grown enough to roam around and hang out with friends, alone, we are already indulged in illegal activities.

Though it never starts with  a big step, which is probable the high dose LSDs and injections but things like alcohol and tobacco. “It’s fun, our friends say and we out of excitement try them. We try them for once, and to be honest the first experience is never smooth or great, so to achieve the level which is appreciated by the stoned person of the group, we keep on trying it, and reach on the merge of addiction.

But again the question arises, why we take drugs, because:

Because it’s fun, we think!         

We think it’s fun, reaching to the state of nothingness. We think it’s cool to be high and see the world through the eyes which can’t be open otherwise. Out of this curiosity we start and eventually adapt it as a part of daily life. We so easily accept it knowing the fact it’s detrimental.

Because it is relaxing, we think!    

We think we are stressed enough, though we are indeed, so to get rid of it we hit on drugs. It’s relaxing and at least for a period of time, it makes living easy. Scientifically, it releases dopamine, and rush of adrenaline. Indubitably, lethal when done artificially.

It’s gives you super power:      

It can make you do great things. You can do what you like to do without any fatigue. You can stretch yourself a little more, do things which were then out of your capacity and capability. Yes, no doubt you can do alot of things smoothly yet the after effects are again lethal, but who care? We should!

It’s in the trend:  

Yes, it’s in the trend. But you should also know trend in the present scenario isn’t something good but something absurd. So if you want attention, to be famous and someone in demand you need to have something special in you, ironically you can get it easy with some green organic stuff, who has time for hard work!

It’s organic:  

It’s organic and thus safe. But what about the tobacco used in it? Chuck it. Who really bothers. The fact that a little knowledge is very dangerous thing, is being proven here. Starting it as an organic stuff to be puffed and snort occasionally, we tend to take it as our routine and then become prone to it.

Drug abuse is not the problem of a country or two, but it is a matter of concern globally. What kind of future we are aiming at, when all we have is young generation addicted to drugs for their survival. Where they would take the country to, when despite of knowing the ill and deteriorating outcomes of these illegal things, they are stuck in the clutches of these drugs.  Now it’s all upto us how we perceive things and act upon it. Maintaining a good distance from them is far a better option than ending your once gifted life because of it.

No, I am not going to start a preachy lecture about how the youth of the country should lead their lives! Ours is a free country and everyone is free to lead their lives the way they want without hurting anyone. As simple as that!

But what we need to ask ourselves is, are we living the way we are supposed to? Every day we claim our rights on freedom of speech, freedom to live, freedom for this, freedom for that etc. How many of us actually value that freedom though? If you look around, more and more youngsters, the so-called future of our country, are found to be enjoying dope, sex and booze, more than sharing their responsibilities towards their own lives! Let’s not talk about responsibility towards family, friends, society or nation! It is all about their life, their decisions, and their way of conducting themselves with no concern about how their actions are impacting others!

Some people might argue that the nation is in the dumps, there are no jobs, and youth is sitting idle even after education so their actions are justified. I am sorry, but I tend to disagree with such lame excuses. Those who deserve are getting jobs. Those who have worked on their skill sets are landing up working for the best organisations. Those who are bringing discipline in their life are achieving their dreams, no matter how fast or slow the process is!

It is a sad state to watch youngsters idling their time away criticising the society and the system instead of doing something substantial about it. Change doesn’t happen overnight and only by posting your views on social media, don’t expect change to happen.

It starts with oneself!

Bring a change in your thought process, be responsible for your actions and try to do something that is within your reach to make a change. No one is expecting a single man or a woman to act like a superhero and rid our country of all the ailments. Instead, take small steps, the steps that bring change, albeit in a slow manner, but those that are long-lasting changes.

It is the state of the society that party songs celebrating alcohol consumption, drugs and sex are ruling the charts! No, the movies are not feeding the society, it’s vice versa! The demand is generating supply and we are happily grabbing what’s being offered to us. It is cool these days to have competitions about how much can one drink in one night or how many sex-sessions can one have at one go. Does that help improve life? Does that bring a positive change in your life? Sadly, the answer is a big NO!

Let’s try and enjoy life, but only after we have discharged our duties towards life with utmost sincerity.

It is only one life guys; don’t waste it on temporary sources of entertainment.

Enjoy them, but enjoy your life too and life is not just dope, sex and booze!

It is much more than that; just scratch the surface and find out how it can be more fun without falling into the trappings of short-lived fun!
