I believe that drugs can help awaken consciousness and help with depression, mind trauma, body trauma, and other mental states.
But using them to survive for sufferings is pointless, especially when you become addicted and dependent not only on the chemical but also on the sensations it produces, even if the chemicals are not addictive or do not make you dependent bacause you use it like food for sensations.
They will only make the suffering worse and worse.
>Also
The United States is experiencing a barbaric opioid crisis because its hospitals prescribe them like candy and hotcakes. And that's just narcotics (for pain, narcotics are for pain, but people become addicted because they depend on the pain-relieving sensation and the opioid and as a form of coping and escapism from their problems).
When they talk about the war on drugs, they never talk about entheogens and the positive effects they can have on physical and psychological health if used correctly and therapeutically.
So, for me, drugs aren't bad if you know how to use them as a catalyst for a change in your mind and life.

Depends on which drugs you use and how you use them. Sure you can inject yourself with heroin to cope with your shit life, but if you invest in having an entheogenic experience through psychedelics you might be able to connect with your true self. Drugs aren't evil, they're a tool. In the right hands they can serve you and in the wrong hands they can and will destroy you.
