      Well yes, that’s why people do drugs.

      Usually doing it forever runs up against other problems like paying for it, holding down a job or health problems

      drugs only make you feel happy when you first start, eventually you use them to not feel bad
      also when you have a heart attack and almost die and are crippled for life: that’s sad
      basically, they only work temporarily and overall makes shit worse

      Why doesn’t everyone just use drugs to be happy forever?

      I know this is c/nostupidquestions, but surely you can come up with an answer for that one yourself. Why are you not shooting up heroin right now?

      Why else would people use drugs? The problem is that the side effects from drugs tend to increase unhappiness when you’re not on them.
