  5. Why do people abuse heroin?
Asked: 2018-06-21 16:12:28
I used to be super harsh on drug addicts, until my son started using. Now I just want to know why he’s using heroin. Why do some people turn to drugs while other keep it under control?

Heroin and opioids are some of the most potent drugs in existence. They make people feel really euphoric and peaceful, and can make it seem like everything in life will be alright. Some people may never have recovered from something bad, and the heroin makes them feel better. It’s not the same for any two people. Ask him, and try to get him help.

I think that the most basic answer to this is because it feels good. The high is unlike any other drug, and for a person who’s predisposed to addiction, it can be hard to resist. People use drugs to self-medicate pain, hide their feelings, or just to deal with life.
