It's easy to ask why people are addicted to drugs. People begin using drugs for many different reasons, and the person does not have to have the worst life to start experimenting. I have known kids that have started using drugs because of curiosity, to be rebelious against their parents, and alot of depression. The kids continue the drugs because they it became a part of them. No person ever has intensions of becoming addicted. They begin to experiment and tell themselves they will only try the drug once or twice. They begin to like it too much and become addicted. It becomes a life style, and if you ask them why the can't stop it's un-explainable. It's comparable to people eating junk food. They know it is bad for their health, but they continue to eat it anyway.
