“I'm glad mushrooms are against the law, because I took them one time, and you know what happened to me? I laid in a field of green grass for four hours going, "My God! I love everything." Yeah, now if that isn't a hazard to our country … how are we gonna justify arms dealing when we realize that we're all one?”

Real life story of Anand Mathur, a young ambitious man who was once a drug addict...
"Hi, My Name is Anand Mathur and I was a drug addict. I was born and brought up in Mumbai. I had a normal childhood. My parents were protective of me. I was a little shy and kept to myself. I had very few friends. I tried drugs for the first time during my summer break. I was in 12th and was preparing for my board exams. It was a family friend’s birthday party and had a bunch of friends taking drugs. It was certainly a peer pressure situation. I think I was just looking for a new experience. I had heard about it, but didn’t have too many friends who were doing it. Gradually, I started taking drugs every day. My performance in school deteriorated. I started bunking lectures and didn’t’ study at all. My grades started abating. I was an above average student and had started getting below 30%. My parents noticed that there was something wrong with me but I was cautious and concealed my actions. They were very worried. We belonged to a middle class family and so my parents only gave me a few bucks as my pocket money. I needed more for drugs. So I started to deal drugs. I had gotten a connection to a student from a degree college. I became a drug dealer – to make money and splurge it on my addiction. I had started selling drugs in my school. I had even hurt the ones who had threatened me that they would complaint about all this to my headmaster. I started to do worse and worse in school– I didn’t care. My parents were thrilled but unfortunately they couldn’t find out the problem. Drugs were always hanging over my head – so I just got high again and again so that I wouldn’t think about it. I was starting to become reckless as well. I had a bike and used to drive high all the time – I thought I was a better driver because I was high. I had all these stupid rationalizations that I kept using. I was clearly putting myself and others at risk. I had almost even killed a young girl due to my rash driving. I had lost all motivation to do something in life. One night when I reached home my parents confronted me. They told me that they had found a few packets of drugs in my wardrobe. They talked to me about everything. They told me that they’ll take me to a therapist or even send me to a rehab if required. I thought they were being absurd. They took me to a therapist. The meeting went on for 2 long hrs. The therapist drew a conclusion that I had gone too far and the only way to bring me back was to admit me in a rehab. Although I never thought that I had a problem. I was very angry with my parents. My parents made arrangements for me to go to a rehab center. I had decided that I would go to treatment with an open mind so I could learn something about myself. I knew it was a good place, and they had a lot of resources I could use. I was feeling embarrassed as my relatives had also come to know about my addiction. After getting into the rehab I realized I needed to take my recovery more seriously. I decided I would listen more, look at the readings more. A few days off the drugs, I felt it in my body. I started to realize that I was addicted, and I didn’t want to end up a junkie. I knew I needed help and wanted to live a better life. Today I’m a 24 yrs old young man who works in a call center. I’m very open with my parents now because I have nothing to hide anymore – whether it’s drugs or anything else. I certainly have peace of mind today. I’m comfortable in my own skin – wherever I’m at. I have so many more opportunities and clarity and better and more reliable friends now than I ever had when I was using drugs. My message to all those who take drugs is that if you think you have a problem, ask yourself this: “Does my use of drugs cause negative consequences in my life?” If the answer is yes – you may have a problem. At least keep an open mind – ask for help and try to find resources. There is a better way to live your life."

5 Myths about Drug Abuse and Addiction
MYTH 1: Overcoming addiction is a simply a matter of willpower. You can stop using drugs if you really want to. Prolonged exposure to drugs alters the brain in ways that result in powerful cravings and a compulsion to use. These brain changes make it extremely difficult to quit by sheer force of will.
MYTH 2: Addiction is a disease; there’s nothing you can do about it. Most experts agree that addiction is a brain disease, but that doesn’t mean you’re a helpless victim. The brain changes associated with addiction can be treated and reversed through therapy, medication, exercise, and other treatments.
MYTH 3: Addicts have to hit rock bottom before they can get better. Recovery can begin at any point in the addiction process—and the earlier, the better. The longer drug abuse continues, the stronger the addiction becomes and the harder it is to treat. Don’t wait to intervene until the addict has lost it all.
MYTH 4: You can’t force someone into treatment; they have to want help. Treatment doesn’t have to be voluntary to be successful. People who are pressured into treatment by their family, employer, or the legal system are just as likely to benefit as those who choose to enter treatment on their own. As they sober up and their thinking clears, many formerly resistant addicts decide they want to change.
MYTH 5: Treatment didn’t work before, so there’s no point trying again. Recovery from drug addiction is a long process that often involves setbacks. Relapse doesn’t mean that treatment has failed or that you’re a lost cause. Rather, it’s a signal to get back on track, either by going back to treatment or adjusting the treatment approach.
say no to DRUGS say yes to LIFE
