Drugs


Why people take drugs for the first time ?


The "Weak Personality" Theory : Some people believe that people take drugs because they have a weak personality and because they are inadequate in some way. This theory says that drug-takers take drugs in order to escape from their problems .




The "Evil Pusher" Theory : This theory says that people take illegal drugs because a pusher tricks them into trying drugs so that he or she can make them addicted and then sell them drugs for a high profit .


The Pleasure Theory : This theory suggests that people take drugs because they like the effects .


The Rebel Theory : Other people believe that young people take drugs in order to rebel against their parents and against the rest of the society . This theory says that people take illegal drugs , just because it is not legal .


The In with the Crowd Theory : Another theory says that people take a drug if they want to belong to the crowd . Some people don´t like to feel different and like to be a pert in what other people are doing .


The because it is offered theory : Do people really have to have a strong reason to take a drug? Does everybody who takes alcohol or a cigarette have a reason ? Sometimes people do something just because they get the opportunity - so they might take a legal or illegal drug just because it is offered to them , even though they were not looking for the drug .
