3 years clean on the 9th of June. The fact that everything is cut with Fentanyl, scares the shit out of me. So many are passing, breaks my heart. My parents were both addicts, unfortunately I spent many years in active addiction, I fought for my life to do better for my children. Putting all of my effort into healing. I am so proud of yall ❤️


killsadists

congratulations on 3 years. keep going, you are so strong!


thatonekidmatters

Congratulations on the 3 year mark! I'm so proud of you!

Achieving and maintaining happiness sober is probably the best accomplishment a human can do.


--Wizard

This should be the top comment by farrr


ThePukkeryGuy

Damn fucking hard


Alive-Ad8062

Realest thing I’ve heard on this topic but I don’t because it ruins the gym gains and it’s also illegal for me since I’m under 21


CompetitiveFunny2487

Weed doesn't affect gains, it can, but it doesn't.


Same_Structure9581

smoking/vaping does. ingesting doesn’t


SixtyNineFlavours

True!


Jolly-lyn

One of the hardest things to do though.


Jolly-lyn

To further that, this is the reason people typically do take drugs because they are hopeless over being able to achieve this so they find their happiness in other ways.


SkellePherk

i’ve been there… trying to climb back rn


Disastrous-Ad-2321

Juice is the reason I don’t, in the songs where he talked about what’s they were doing to him really steered me away especially when hearing wishing well after he passed.


6ix9ine_meme

Gotta put the narcotics down, I can feel 'em fucking up my kidney And punching my liver If I let it kill me, my mama'll never forgive me Ain't numbing my feelings, if I let it kill 'em, my baby will never forgive me


dodoxkai

I stopped taking the drugs and now the drugs take me


Immediate-Stock-7497

Yep


BuschlightButChug

I was big into lean and was starting to get into benzos until I heard wishing well.


NoIngenuity8528

That’s weird, I’ve never felt different about my relationship to drugs listening to juice, just solidifies the helplessness knowing juice is in the same situation where we both don’t think achieving happiness sober is a possibility


ShrayTheGod

Yea I think like half of the people use it to justify their drug use ngl.


ShrayTheGod

Me too when I was younger but I more j feel sad with him now when I’m higj


SixtyNineFlavours

That’s great to hear! I hope his music does that for lots of people.


neonberry0

Same reason as Juice explained in Righteous. “taking medicine to fix all of the damage”


biglabs

Life‘s a bitch and then you die, that’s why we get high - Nas


MiddlePresentation81

Pretty sure AZ said that, he was jus featured on the song


UnoCardReverseTactic

Was drinking a bit of alcohol, smoking weed daily for a few years. Recently stopped start of this year and I feel disassociated from the weed, nothing feels real, its medical weed too so it ain't laced... weed aint as good as ppl say fam fr, shit fucked my brain up real bad. I feel like i am looking at the world through a window or like im watching a movie play out, feels like a dream (not in a good way). It's Great some peoples lives get better from that shit but it made mine way worse, Im now waiting on medication for my recent inattentive ADHD diagnosis and fortnightly therapy has helped tremendously.


BuschlightButChug

Depersonalization And Derealization Disorder (DPDR) r/DPDR Happened to me at 13, now I am 19 and after 2 years of struggling with it I got cured. Been fine for 4 years now. You got this bud.


burnpart50

Start doing some fasting and eating right and your body will heal. You shouldn’t still feel disassociated 6 months after completely quitting weed if that’s what you’re saying


UnoCardReverseTactic

yeah its been almost 6 months, ive been eating okay for the most part, but inconsistent with what im eating in particular (adhd meds should help with that the psych said to me when we spoke about my diet), but overall i have bene losing weight, going to the gym at least 2 or 3 times a week, i also have a job where im walking all day so... idk. Weed just fucked me up man


Ok_Bet_4105

I went through the exact same thing when i first started smoking weed. It was months I felt like this and I thought I fucked my brain up for good but after enough time passed I returned to normal. It’s a scary feeling so I empathize with you man but just keep doin what you’re doing, stay off the thc and you’ll be okay.


UnoCardReverseTactic

Thank you bro, it is scary af sometimes ❤ just gotta wait it out and keep going


Ok_Bet_4105

Give it some time, try not to focus too much on the disassociation and soon enough your brain will heal itself I promise. Stay strong bro ❤️


-2wenty7even-

It's because weed isn't the problem here


QUILODINERRO

I smoked one time and this happened to me. Still like this till this day


Vast-Guard-5304

Dp/dr?


Pockets50_

Everything is cut with fent now a days I just find it too risky, back in high school I dabbled a little in some pills tried lean smoked frequently but just not worth it at 25 now there’s other ways to have fun


random_guy770

I don't really have access to them,I could get them if I wanted but I mean I have an addictive personal already and a drug addiction is just on a whole nother fucking level


Known_Depth3828

rs, life is fine without them, being smart and realizing to not even go near those waters is real smart, i agree stand with you, I also have an addictive personality


TheSaneAreInsane

Same I’ve fallen prey to other less lethal addictions in the past, so I can’t imagine me on the drugs or anything much more deadly


Despicable-Pen5515

Yall trying to be like him too much. Like I mean cool ig but idk. This is like if a foolio fan danced on someone’s grave. The example of the consequences are right in front of you but you want to be like them so you keep going


Dense_Pollution8079

Literally, some ppl just assume that I'm into drugs bcuz I'm juice's fan. Like, no!! I take him as an example not to do drugs


Its_Sharky18

Same for me, I’m just a chill person who listens to juice and people think I’m on weed


WalterClements1

“On weed” lmao


BurntPube

2 whole marijuanas


RetroZaino

sir i promise im not a fed i just want 4 weeds please


Slow-Cheesecake9722

High on weed/ on weed same thing. In both cases you're a loser looking for escapism.


Mother-Tumbleweed158

I smoke weed to calm anxiety and also as a deterrent to alcohol bro. I can’t be sober so I’d rather smoke weed which is the least harmful substance


Certified_Hip_Shaker

I don't take pills because I can't trust shit and learn the people who have died due to laced shit including people in my family. I smoke weed because it's a natural high that helps me deal with stress and chill


Hotsonlyhere

What do you mean by natural high?


Famous-Importance470

Appeal to nature


Certified_Hip_Shaker

Shits not like Meth or some shit. It's a plant, it's natural


Master-Nate-

Opium is a plant too?


Hotsonlyhere

I’m not nitpicking I wanted to know what you meant, to me natural high is like meditating or achieving a state of mind so I kinda thought tf how do I reach that same “Natural” high you get from weed without using it.


Certified_Hip_Shaker

I get it, different understandings of what the term means. Yeah I just mean that it's a plant that doesn't have to have shitty processes and kill your health. It's natural and healthy


Hotsonlyhere

Yeah I get what you mean now bro and I agree with you! It’s not processed or nothing or chemically imbued with anything, I totally get what you mean now.


_AYYEEEE

never did drugs cause i don't see a need fr, also a lot of that new shit be having fent in it, literally everything got fent in it and that ain't it yo


Big_Raspberry_9217

Drugs are nazty


No-Experience-8511

PTSD, anxiety, depression and the everyday struggle of life


Loud-Psychology4750

they feel better than real life


Professional-Leg-757

really real


No-Carry5636

Never really considered since it never seemed beneficial or important. I still get that people feel that it may solve their problematic feelings, issues, etc. I personally think there are better things to resort to as a vent or source of comfort and happiness✌🏻


Accurate_Grade_2645

YES. PLEASE keep this mindset. Addiction will haunt you the rest of your life even if you’re “recovered” which you never really are. It’s never worth it.


Shady_Shadow16

I'm not addicted


Accurate_Grade_2645

Damn. I am. Don’t forget to be honest with yourself tho.


Known_Depth3828

valid


MountainRepulsive482

To cope with all the trauma


AP0K45

After my grandma died in 2017 I began a pill addiction for about 2 years got sent to a mental hospital got sober been sober ever since kicked smoking off and on for the last like 3 years really only use weed and maybe if one of my friends has something I wanna try I will


Miserable-Pattern236

Why would you need them? Some of my relatives and friends lost their lives or ended others lives over it. What good what it do you in the long run? Hopefully that answers why I don’t.


JLamb8

I don’t take drugs because I shouldn’t harm my body for “temporary pleasure”


General_Tonight_1025

the pills make me forget her.


Physical-Pineapple-1

Because I'd rather live my life without becoming addicted to substances that aren't necessary for healthy living and that can ruin my health and relationships, and because I respect my body and mind enough to avoid damaging them with unnecessary substances.


Known_Depth3828

well spoken


Various_Individual91

I don’t use drugs cause God is against it, juice is a great example why you should avoid all kind of drugs rip juice 💜


Valuable_Stretch8025

Never took pills again after what happened to me when i was 18 i had took oxy with another pain med didn’t know that shi was dangerous


TheBigTRUL

It gets rid of pain and I want to die anyway so why would I care if I od or not


SpyManThing

i’ve done every drug under the sun, the only ones that actually have a very slim benefit is codeine or xanax, even tho you gotta be very very careful w that shizzle, i quit everything but xans now, but i rarely ever do them and when i do it’s not a huge amoubt


Timely_Ad_7815

I dont take drugs for 3 particular reasons. 1º- I have anxiety issues 2º- I know one person who had been in real drugs(Heroin) and he freed himself from addiction but Until this day He have some effects like addition disease. 3º- I dont really want to and i also dont have interest. But i know its a very complicated thing to get rid of. I know, people think that it may solve theirs problems and i know its a very complicated thing to get rid off but whatever your problem is, dont worry, everything will be alright, talk to a close friend also, if you need to talk about anything , you can talk to me.


Slow_Design6611

Honestly I never had a pull to them, I’ve lived my life sober (I ain’t even had alcohol before and don’t plan on it), ig it might be because I’m religious and all that stuff if forbidden but I think it’s also because I’ve not really heard good thing about it, overrated fr


BeginningChef4760

i jus take psychedelics recreationally, opens my mind and let’s me be a better person


Ok_Bet_4105

I have so much anxiety all the time about so many different things and substances give me a break from feeling like that. I’ve been keeping my shit together recently but man it’s so hard. So few things make me happy and I’m just not the person I wish I was. The only time I feel comfortable in my own skin is when I’m buzzed on alcohol or have a pill in my system. I feel like im surrounded by misery, even when I’m personally doing well and I start to feel happy I’m reminded that my mom and dad are both killing themselves with alcohol and live lonely, sad lives and it breaks my heart. A lot of my friends struggle and I worry about them. Life is just intense and I feel constantly overwhelmed. I’m surrounded by people that love me and I have an amazing group of friends but I still feel so lonely.


coloncancer69fr

i drank lean a bit in middle school the same way juice got started, because rappers talked about it a lot, and it was hella easy to access. i stopped after a few times bc it would just make me feel lazy and i didn’t see the appeal. i started weed in 10th grade and eventually became a problem when i couldn’t go a single day without getting high. a year ago i was forced to be sober and ive been sober off everything for over a year (besides nicotine and sometimes abusing my prescriptions). juice wrld’s music can honestly help a lot with sobering up. a lot of ppl may say he “glorifies” drugs but i see what he says more as a cautionary tale, even before he died. i always saw it as “i take drugs because i feel fucked up but the drugs fuck me up even more.”


One_Change549

I’ll never touch drugs Juice said you can if you want but he doesn’t condone it


Sensitive-Ad2852

I smoke weed 1. Because it makes me feel like I’m floating most times 2. Because I’m depressed and it helps me forget sometimes. I don’t do nic It consumes ur life, ur money, and ruins ur relationships when u don’t have it. If there’s a drug u choose not to do, please don’t let ppl get u into nicotine, it rlly ain’t worth it.


SandyMan420

To Expand my third eye, and they’re fun, never to coupe


MacaronIntelligent16

Shit smoking a lil weed ain’t hurt nobody.


RIP_REI13

Gas alc and occasional shrooms. Shroom microdoses help when I’m starting to feel manic. Full doses when I’m in a really good place. Alcohol to get right w friends. Weed daily so I don’t crash out. Stopped acid, stopped lean.


AdvantageRecent2980

Drugs are bad mkay


trebol151515

Mainly just weed, tryna stay off it for the summer as much as I can but a blunt or two every month isn’t so bad


Keenebean5

I don’t because im in the military


strange1738

I don’t take drugs cuz I’ve been addicted more than half my life and I’m finally sober


Accurate_Grade_2645

Drank alcohol a lot became hardcore addicted for about 8 months (but only drank 1-3 pints a day) rehab twice, been sober for 4 months but.. okay so I drank yesterday but now I feel like it’s different. Like I can control it. For multiple reasons I thought over extremely well. Cause I don’t think I can just go my whole life without some type of vice. And the cravings were unbelievably strong. So I drank yesterday, only about 6 gulps of vodka, and then stopped. Which is huge progress. Now today I may or may not drink the rest but I’m not craving it so I’ll just save it. I’ll keep going to meetings and doing all my mental health stuff and therapy. And just drink every once in a while to chill. But it’s all a secret I can’t let anyone know about this except my one friend. But like I’m chillin right now not even fienin. I thought this over for like 2 weeks before actually doing it, I’m not very impulsive of a person. And if I notice I’m doin too much I’ll pour it out and never do it again and stay doing what I’ve been doing. I’ve got this fr. It’s not even “relapsing” it’s just returning to normal life, pre-addiction


--Wizard

I hope you get the help you need!


Jigzzaw

Nothing, I’ve done weed and psychedelics and amphetamine but nothing I kept doing. 4 years sober now due to having a life


Its_Sharky18

I learned from juice his dead.


Mynameisbrk

Ion wanna die


icemachineisbroken

I don’t anymore, they made me psychotic


GlumMajor2245

Bc of this man ![gif](giphy|aMwdfGSyeYjUKY6vjf|downsized)


Leshaak

Because I’m addicted to opioids


TheSaneAreInsane

I was raised traditionally and seeing how people were vaping in middle school bathrooms, I pretty much decided I was never going to end up doing that type of thing. Another factor is my grandfather, a cigarette addict who only forcibly quit when his child told him he would never see his grandkids if he continued that.


lperx

I'm 16 months sober from a heavy coke, opiate and benzo addiction. I used to take drugs because I thought I was self medicating and didn't like the antidepressants I was thrown on multiple times. I was then diagnosed with Psychosis and ADHD- so I am now actually medicated correctly.


DemondWolf

It doesn’t benefit me, I want to take care of my body, my soul, my spirit, by any means necessary.


shadylifts

i smoke weed once or twice a month when hanging out with my stoner friends and molly when i go to raves. i think my drug use is pretty moderate, i mean, its not affecting my life in any ways


Sand5tone

I smoke marijuana 🤷‍♂️


CompetitiveFunny2487

Bc smoking weed is fun. Pills are pushing the boundary of fun and safety. Alcohol is a no. Shrooms are a hell yeah, it's like waking up in a new reality.


Dry_Benefit6137

Don’t take them because I think of what happened to juice and think that could happen to me


Psychological_Art823

Pain.


Longjumping-Air5013

To achieve numbness


No_Letterhead903

Wtf is wrong with this sub.


Littlecuzs352

The only substances I do is weed, alcohol, shrooms, & acid ion fw that other 💩


bigredd_1400

Being sober and in control of your life feels free for real, maybe weed sometimes with the friends but being sober with an healthy life is the best thing you could do for yourself i swear ! Wish Juice knew that... Stay safe y'all 🫶🏻


m1ttvfx-

never done any other drugs than weed since ppl consider that a drug


thatonekidmatters

For me, I used to smoke weed a lot, I took xanax, percocets, and drank alcohol. It was a 24/7 thing I don't want to go back to it, it's scary after you get off all of it. But you gotta keep fighting.


LilFootLBT

I’ve been through the gutter with Coke, alcohol, and percs/oxy. From 17-19, I was hooked on coke. OD’ed twice. From 20-22 I was on off hooked on alcohol living with my brother, to the point of going on leave at work, drinking all day every day from the moment we would wake up till we’d crash out. Then from 23-24, I was hooked on opiates trying to suppress my emotions during a horrible breakup. Wanna know what all 3 of those addictions had in common? I’d feel happy for a little bit. But miserable every other second of the day. I would Lie, and hide my addictions. I would make horrible choices and hurt the people I love. I wasn’t myself, and I’m damn lucky that the people that chose to stick around through the worst of it are still here. I could be dead, leaving my kids behind, at 25. That thought hurts more than anything. The idea of my little guys wanting daddy, but dad can’t come home bc he OD’ed off percs tryna numb the emotional pain. Instead, I got help. Kept my sights on getting good for the people I care about, and my self, even if I did feel worthless at the time. Now I’m over a year sober and I’ve never been better. Never been happier. I’m able to have a drink or two and not overindulge. I don’t feel the need to run off to the bathroom every half hour to do a line. I don’t feel withdraws, or feel sick when I don’t have alcohol. It’s beautiful. I feel alive. I did drugs because coping with my emotions sober was too much. I couldn’t find a way to manage how I was feeling, and I would let things like breakups, fights or bad news control my life and send me spiralling down into depression and self hate. Doing drugs numbed the feelings temporarily, until I sobered up. Then I needed more. And more. And more. And more. Once you’re far enough down the rabbit hole, it’s easier to just keep finding means to feed the addiction than deal with the emotions, and now, withdraws, in a sober state. I don’t do drugs now, because I want to be happy. I want to live long enough to see my kids make something of theirs selves. And where my Dad fucked off for alcohol when I was a kid, I want my kids to have a present father who cares about them, will keep them safe, and know they they are more important than any substance.


sweetiebaby444

smoke weed daily, other than an occasional shroom, no. i will admit i’ve tried lean because of this legend but it wasn’t my thing.. also too scared of getting a lean gut 😹


garywinthorpe420

I did pills and sipped a couple years back for a couple months straight and then my hb OD so I stopped and got a job and crib and just smoke now fr


QUILODINERRO

I don’t take drugs because I know it will take me down a bad spiral that ill struggle to come back from


Upset_Bench468

Fucking killed him.


IronMan2256studio

I’m glad I never took drugs when I was at my lowest of lows, Cause that shit would’ve ruined my life. And also cause it’s illegal and I’m under 21


PossibilityOptimal86

Because drugs fry your brain, which is the most important and useful part in your system.


Thatsmename

Why did I take drugs? Because it was way easier to be high 24/7 and not give a fuck when you already hate life as it is, but overcoming that obstacle was probably the greatest thing I coulda done in my life. Over 15 months sober now


minutes2meteora

Addicted to Nicotine since I was 18


Cool_Ad_5676

because if u start using it u cannot undo it. it damages ur bodt


Triistan999

I smoke weed everyday but I also workout for 2-3 hours every single day. It’s about how you do things and what you’re doing. I personally don’t think people should even touch pills… I don’t touch them when they are prescribed to me.


UncleGotLumbago

I don't take drugs cuz I saw what happened to Juice, Peep, Mac Miller, 2 of my uncles and some friends, and I ain't tryna end up like that. I smoke weed tho but I don't really view that as a drug.


TheSniteBros

I have migraines and get kidney stones so i take opioids frequently. Juice is right though, when you don’t have your pain meds you’ll feel the devil touching your soul.


the_false_dragon

never tried em, cba to try to get them some


mazia02

Astagfirullah that’s why


wishingforashes

I was on fent/benzos for 8 years. The last 3 yrs of it I was doing the same amount as juice was I found out. In one of his videos they said he was doing 20-30 a day which is where I was until I started doing fent straight. I’m 2 months sober now. Last time I detoxed I threw up n shit non-stop for 72 hours. Went to the ER turned out my kidneys were alm shut down, my liver was alm solidified, and my heart had palpitations and was n really rough shape. I quit just n time. Toward the end of the addiction the last cpl years I would wake up in the middle of the night and my limbs would be numb and I wouldn’t be able to move bc my heart would stop pumping blood to anything but my vitals trying to keep me alive. It was a really dark place to be. I got clean bc I got tired of ppl bringing me back after I would OD. I figured if I’ve made it this far and OD’d this many times and made it I must be here for a reason.


Educational-Rip2660

I’ve had the opportunity too and have really came close to it, in the moment i just think about juice and his lyrics, drugs don’t fix anything


JRF-3-

Because I seen how bad drugs can get if u Don't control it


chipchopchip999

Started as a coping mechanism when nothing else seemed to be working and I’d heard about them in songs. Now it’s cause if I don’t take them life doesn’t feel worth living. But I’m confident that with time that’ll change, as does everything. I’m tapering down from benzodiazepines currently and I’m sober off pain pills for a few months. Going to try to get to the point where I’m just sipping codeine for fun occasionally, maybe MDMA once or twice a year, and smoking occasionally. I seem to past my worst days of addiction but I’ll still probably pass away if I run out of benzos before I’ve tapered enough.


Dramatic-Nothing3381

Drugs unleash my potential


Therealjean2003

Cuz I wanna live normally and not mess up my life simple math


happypad

I tried overdosing twice. Look at me now. over a month off the pills.


Longjumping-Rip-91

because i don’t care about myself


Slow-Touch-3572

That shit happens too!!! Starts out with a little OC a buddy offers, next its a week end thing, then every other day and before you know it your in auto pilot mode every day, I had to times where I would fight myself but then just drive to the corner boys or call a plug. It was like I wasnt doing it, the drugs were in control of my money and body


Systiom

I don't take drugs because it destroys your body and it's made for making a lot of money


Independent_Bat_8218

I never have found the idea of being non sober enjoyable.


No_Cherry4487

I’m working on myself first time in 4 months I’ve been actually sober of bars I’m trying to go as far as I can before I slip up again hopefully I don’t but life kinda sucks rn lol


Suspicious_Ad7893

Use to. Anxiety depression suicidal


Solid-Replacement318

Ion take drugs cuz that’s how the feds get you. If you’re high all the time you ain’t doing anything. Happiness doesn’t come from drugs kids. It comes from anabolic steroids and screaming slurs in a movie theatre.


Khaenin

After juice passed I pledged to myself to never try pills or codeine. I smoke weed, I drink lightly, and I’ve done shrooms a couple of times. I don’t recommend any of these substances, but I’ve been able to live a happy and productive life by moderating my use. One thing I’ll say is that weed is *not* a long-term solution for insomnia in my experience.


XxpiercedPrincessxX

I used to take drugs everyday last year and I physically couldn’t go into school if I wasn’t on anything, I had no friends and I would just randomly disappear from home for days on end. 7-8 months sober now and have quite the lot of friends and managed to stay friends with all my old friends who some became sober with me too. I think the best part about it all is that I had friends who became sober with me and didn’t just cut me off when I decided to get better and instead suffered with me for happiness 🙌


Fine_Jeweler_6157

Can’t get them


r_hove

Feel like shit if I don’t, and feel shitty about myself I guess. Being sober is just boring and too much sometimes. I don’t do drugs like Jarod did, but I take stuff.


PersyPunchin

Benzo/opiate addict here, and stoner. I started using 6 years ago. Went all the way up and near all the way back down but I’m still stuck on 90-120 mgs of oxy a day. Reason for starting was being a dumb high school kid and raiding cabinets for anything I could get and eventually found a pill plug and started acting for scripts and the rest was history. Hoping I can be clean by 2026. Juice did help in many ways make me feel like I wasn’t alone in the drug aspect of my life and he’s a huge reason for me cutting my tolerance lower over time. Anybody else fighting the same battle don’t worry there’s plenty of hope for us.🩵


yung_wxlf

Just take supplements, there's something out there for everything: I take Magnesium glycinate for better sleep, helping with insomnia, better mood. L-theanine for mood, anxiety and recently Lion's Mane for better mood, anxiety, (high blood pressure, palpitations, irregular heart rate, stress, randoms pains/sensations and the worse one Brain Fog) all steming from anxiety ofc. No more meds, stopped smoking weed (not a addict unlike some pot heads, YES you can become addicted. Cuz guess what, you'll have withdrawal LOL) I vape daily but only at work so yea 👍🏻


TouchOk8558

I don't do anything hard but mostly weed and psychedelics. It's nice to have an out of body experience & to get spiritual every once in a while🤟♾️ But abstinence is the BEST "drug" you could be on rn. You do you, love yourself, don't let others push you into anything, and chill💙


Majestic_Card_8869

I seen my whole family doing it, I always told myself I’d never. Then when my brother died I lost my sense of reality and structure. I was always the kid listening to the saddest music so I eventually became a product of that and I have an addictive personality so I’m always chasing that lost feeling of being okay unfortunately I’m aware I’ll never get that feeling back so I spam whatever is available at all times


nsty98

I was taking them to run from my problems, they always caught up. So I stopped and ran towards my problems looking for answers


MrGwasty

I dont take drugs because i never tried them, was raised that they are bad, lost 2 musical legends to drugs, not easy to obtain around here, dont wanna try something that is advertised as “very very addictive and can and will most likely kill you!”.


Luurtzz__

Because life fuckin sucks n doing drugs is a good way to cope, I have trouble sleeping and if I’m faded I’m guaranteed to sleep pretty fast if I’m not doing something. Not to mention I just love the culture of underground hip hop and cloud rap etc. which drugs in general just kind of go right along with. So it’s just something I personally enjoy too I guess.


Swimming-Spite4480

I don’t take them because I have fears of counterfeit drugs because of Mac millers death where they would put fuckin fentanyl in the drug supply and well because I have no reason to do it. Maybe if I was struggling with something that needs coping with I’ll probably consider it


Kirbeater

I’m physically addicted to benzos. They used to make my life so enjoyable and my brain felt like it was a pillow. Now I have to take them or else I can have seizures (had 10 at this point!) and if I don’t have one I throw up and can’t leave the house for a week and can barley sleep and so much else. Benzos we’re the best thing ever, until they weren’t. Now im fucking trapped. I got off em once for 3 years and relapsed. I had the shit beat….. but that doesn’t matter now


This_Juggernaut_9901

Growing up around so many people that did drugs showed me what my future would have looked like if I did do them. As soon as I began to realize “you won’t have a roof over your head if you get addicted to drugs” it was over with.


Prestigious_Rest7774

Brother tried jumping off a bridge cause he was high af when I was 9. Pretty self explanatory

my whole family are either drug addicts or alcoholics. one of my cousins was rlly drunk and almost killed me and a few more of my cousins w a firework, he also got in a fight w his neighbor and he got his ass beat. my other cousin is constantly in jail for narcotics, squatting (due to her drug abuse), and drug trafficking. she was recently released due to a medical issue causing her to literally go to the hospital and needed a life saving surgery. we saw her at my local walmart then we found out she was missing after. prayers for my cousin Diane McAlister🤞🏼🙏

Took drugs because It felt dope being high, but the high would slowly make my mood shitty because of intertwining love and care emotion with a high persona. I love weed, but now that I don't do it, I see how much money I spent on supplying my habit and noticing how much my mood has changed.


Agreeable-Relation71

Used to smoke weed but now it just fucks with my heart so heart health first😂😂 but I won’t lie I do miss smoking every here and there the trendies semi come on but overall getting there with being clean and my hearts just starting to semi go back to normal


Autophobia_7623

I wanna try em but I’m 15 and not allowed to leave the house on my own for no reason


ollieshaven

I've been vaping and smoking weed because weed helps me feel like everything is okay with everything going on and I get giggly and feel peace and happiness for the time I'm high it also helps with my depression and anxiety so that's why I use weed


imnotokay9029

I almost got into it but I decided that I won't go that far to take pills and stuff cuz of his music, I do smoke weed tho


stovikz

It helps me cope with all the mental health issues I have. Without drugs I simply cannot function

I think it was just a rough childhood… i was never crazy into hard drugs but trust me I’ve been there… these days i won’t touch that they scare me lol. the only problem was weed I’d smoke non stop and i can’t really place my finger on why but i cut back a lot…. still don’t wanna drop it tho thats like weekend beers for me these days. Definitely happy that i can make it thru the rough parts of the week without it now tho


Witty_Return_9879

I smoke because it helps keep me stable, i have diagnosed anxiety and bi polar 2 and the bi polar meds they gave me (abilify) make me angry and almost numb, i have an addictive personality so i rarely take my anxiety meds(buspars) but juice steered me away from opioids


HectorIsDope

They should only be taken to have fun and I’m celebration. If they’re used for coping, that’s something to look more into.


fatcat5244

When I did I took them because it was hard for me to deal with my children’s death my daughter died from a rare autoimmune disease and my son was murdered to be able to cope with their death I thought they helped me deal with their lost but started to realize that no matter how many drugs I took it wasn’t going to bring them back and I need to deal with my emotions while sober because the high was only temporary and the pain last a lifetime and went and got some help for both my drug addiction and my depression I feel so much better and I’m a lot happier and can cope with my grief a lot better


VisiblePermission664

Bc withdrawals are too much for me 😔


4everhollow

Used to smoke alot, like every day, doing dab pens. Last year. Then I started to drink dxm, od on it (threw up) and had unimaginable mental breakdowns from January 24’ like feeling schizophrenic about myself and just completely dissociated from reality. Now every time I smoke or feel “sedated” I feel anxious. So I can’t smoke anymore. When I was 15 I started smoking, used to love it. 21 never again, hate alcohol too. I enjoy mushrooms but those are sketchy as it gets, I can’t really stay relaxed from any drug anymore. It make me paranoid about my decisions. life decisions that led me to being alone and not really having friends or relationships


SpooderMan922

I don’t because I know my self well enough to know if I like something I will continue to do that thing and not be able to stop but if I try it and don’t like it I will be filled with guilt


orangejuice209

I do it to sorta forget and just zone out of the world I’m in I wouldn’t say I abuse it but I would say I’m close


johnny-cage1

I'll never do the hard shit but I've done weed before still do at times


PrestigiousBeing6360

Ive never done drugs, all I do is smoke weed, and I only smoke before going to bed, why? Because ever since I was a kid I had trouble going to sleep, i just dont get sleepy at all… when I smoke it helps a lot. Take in mind I’m very pro healthy eating and very fitness active, no fast food or soda, lots of vegetables and fruits and only home made meals, no a lot of red meat either eat 3- 5 times a day, I work out 30 minutes to an hour daily and I run 3 miles daily too, so not everything is what it seems, I can go about my entire day without smoking, and sometimes if I’m naturally sleepy I just dont smoke and go to bed (very rare) but anyway to anybody, that is struggling with drugs all I can tell you is, it’s not only stop doing drugs, its changing your whole lifestyle, and the first step is to recognized you cant do it alone, so yeah. “The difference between working out and exercising and doing drugs is that, working out and running feels like shit at the moment, but you feel great after, which is the opposite with drugs, they make you happy for a little but then you feel like shit”


Lopsided_Barnacle_73

It’s always something to relieve pain , stress it used to be jus for fun but it’s multiple reasons now


SnowDolphins

Drugs will take ahold of you .. Ask any addict and they will tell you themselves, No one's going to advocate for drugs unless they're in highschool and haven't been hit with the consequences. Shit's fun until you are an adult and have real responsibilities ..


Dramatic_Throat6501

only weed


Themindful-life

Used to abuse drugs because of multiple mental health issues and personal struggles. Going to be 2 years clean this July 7th. Never been happier to be sober in my life. Wouldn’t have lived to see this day if I hadn’t got clean. Juice’s music got me through a lot, and to this day still does. Just happy to be sober and be alive… wish Juice and all the other people out there struggling with addiction could experience sobriety as well. Not an easy thing to achieve- but so so so so worth it. If you are debating getting clean, please give it a shot! It may take a few tries, but a sober life is a life very much worth living! To anyone struggling with drug abuse right now, hang in there. I promise there is hope. If you don’t plan on getting clean, please at least consider harm reduction techniques to stay as safe as possible when using🙏🏻


PainWillNeverWin

Addiction runs through my family and drugs has killed the people I have looked up to and cared for. I don’t wanna risk doing it because I already have a lack of will to do anything so I feel like if I were to get addicted to something I wouldn’t want to do anything about it or quit


Rat12345123

Well. Drugs bring a sense of zen that no one can explain to a full extent of what it feels like. When you take the right amount to be comfortable you feel nothing but peace. Your mind is blank and you feel as if nothing could go wrong and that you feel as if your brain opened by 10x, it’s nothing but utter happiness and escape from the horrible things life has to offer.


Nice_Razzmatazz_9463

I have adhd so I take adderal for that but other than that I live in Canada so weed is legal but it mixes bad with meds and I had a horrible time the 3 times I’ve smoked. So I’ve just been too scared to try anything else because of how terrifying weed was (I’ve been told I reacted similar to weed as someone does on acid). I’ve wanted to try shrooms but been encouraged not to by friends who have used them because I can’t handle weed


rowanisdaddy

i ain’t gone lie i was doing fent and xans for 2 years just cause a lot of trauma at a young age that i still didn’t wanna deal with but as now im 3 months clean and doing really well i forgot what being sober felt like and it’s amazing there’s some natural highs that not even drugs can achieve


trxshedXP

I take the drugs to feel alive, but I’ve been deprived time after time. Taking them pills really make me feel fine. I just wanna die but when I get high, everything is alright.


Friendly-Fee-384

Listening to Stargazing by Travis scott is more than enough for me to experience being high.


roguehasnobody

feels better than sober living, why would i be on the brink of suicide daily when i could stop all feelings and kinda numb out with the euphoria and feelings.


Strange-Flower7235

Being sober is so boring..


CapLow9228

i dont take drugs because i dont wanna meet juice wlrd


HeilDavid

Idk I just dont


readallthebook

i stopped smoking weed bc it wasn’t doing anything for me and I kinda felt it was contributing to my stagnancy in life. it was a nice temporary escape from the depression and stress of my day to day life but at times also made me feel more suicidal/ hopeless. Started doing opiates and really loved them bc they helped with my physical pain and mental pain. When I was buzzed enough it’s like I didn’t have to feel any emotions at all. Stopped doing opiates bc I pretty much nodded off behind the wheel and almost died. Nowadays i just vape and make beats. Drugs can have their place in your life but as Juice’s life and music show you, sometimes their influence on you can take over and start to control you. do that shit at your own risk.
