Why Do People Start?

I have looked at what drugs do to the body, both on the outside and inside, the strain it puts on relationships, the effect it has on family and friends, etc. But I wanted to look at why people use drugs even though they know all the problems it can cause. Of course there are the obvious reasons such as peer pressure. But what are some other reasons? While researching, I found many other reasons, such as they do it to feel relaxed or to forget problems. Some use drugs to cope with stress or simply because they are adventurous and curious. There are some who use because their whole family is addicted to drugs. But in many cases, people use drugs as a way to deal with problems they don’t know how to handle. It could be to deal with problems at home, in relationships, or in school/their work. There are probably many other reasons why a person would start using drugs; these were just a few that shows why many start to use drugs.
