How true is this statement? Drugs has no relationship with gambling

Drugs has no relationship with gambling!

I was curious on my last post where someone said drugs has nothing to do with gambling, from my end drugs contribute alot when it comes to gambling because intensive gambling needs some certain morals or weird feelings to condole heavy weight losses or even withstand the pressure of losing in a hot seat of gamblers. Imagine someone uses half of life savings and bet into games and you fail at that point you need hard substances to clear your head off the loss. People who are into gambling eventually deal on drugs as well as part of the business deals and game. Avoid drugs, avoid gambling if you can't withstand your health while.

There is no direct connection to drugs, what the OP explained is that indirectly there is a possibility that gambling can lead to drug addiction and in my opinion that is very far away, the closest is criminal activity, where someone is more desperate to steal in order to have money to gamble, and drugs are still too far from being related to gambling.

So you doing drugs?
If yes, then try quitting at least for your mental health, you may feel as if you getting off stress by substance abuse but mind you also that their have their long term negative effects on you well being, gambling is for fun, so seeking other substance to have that fun doesn't make sense to me, I suggest that we gamble with free head at least to be able to calculate our risks and limit our spending, instead of getting carried away with the temporary feelings from substance which most often lead to lose sense your have been impird by the drug.

I have experienced what is called gambling addiction before for almost 5 years in a way that I do not have money in my bank account because of gambling but when I have money I will spend almost all on gambling and it will all be lost again and again and so on. With all these, I am not taking drugs.

But if someone like drugs, such person may take more drugs after losing money in gambling.

I like alcohol but I am not a drunkard, if I lose money at the time, I do not think of drinking at all. Maybe because I do not have alcohol at home most time but I gamble at home.

Drugs cambridge a lot of despair in any persons life. Of course, if you also die in gambling into that, the situation can become even more desperate.

So of course gambling and drags can tie together and quite literally destroy someone's life. It's no joke! Whoever says the opposite is actually in denial. It's not bad to keep correcting this sentiments. Anything that even has the potential to be life ruining should be advised against.

I think drug addiction and gambling addiction might be related, just like food addiction or sex addiction. Being addicted means having some kind of emotional or mental disorder; any and all addictions are unhealthy... but a person addicted to drugs might not be addicted to gambling, they're not related... the problem is more mental, affecting the individual's actions...

It’s not impossible for a gambler to look for another escape after suffering a major loss beyond what they can handle, and that escape is often drugs. It may seem a bit strange to see the connection between the two, I mean, a gambler places bets with the intention of seeking entertainment, but in the end has to find another way to cope and relieve the pressure. We know this happens because they gamble beyond their limits and fail to set boundaries before placing their bets. If a gambler falls into the dark world of drugs and becomes addicted to both, I think sooner or later their life will fall apart. Moreover, the effort to quit will be extremely difficult.

It is obvious that draws have many disadvantages in gambling because when you gamble with a drug I don't think we can be able to make a good prediction, so it will be better if you make your predictions with your right senses and not to be under influence of anything you might be have the opportunity to predict well because there is no side distraction

Why with drugs I think that you may not make a good impact for calculation in your prediction so you'll be controlled by the influence of drugs which can lead you to make a wrong prediction and the wrong decision at same time.

So you are telling us that in order to carry the weight in time when we're losing, taking drugs is advisable? I don't think it will bring an essence to a gambler, instead it will only lead you faster to gambling addiction. I know that because there are gamblers I know who are also influenced with drugs, look at them now, they're penniless and have no real direction living their lives.

If you want to stay responsible with gambling, don't mixed it with drugs. Drugs are not here to comfort us, but its here to keep us high and keep us thinking that we're always having an edge even in reality its not.

People who are into gambling eventually deal on drugs as well as part of the business deals and game. Avoid drugs, avoid gambling if you can't withstand your health while.

What are you making such generalization and  conclusion?  There is really no point in connecting drugs to gambling, coz there is really no aspect of gambling that requires drugs to function, and as such folk can be infact more effectively and efficiently when they are sober. And just so you no, not all gamblers use drugs, am very certain that lots of folks on this forum as well as millions others out there who are gamblers, don't do drugs. Those who try and mixx up drugs and gambling together, are simply those who cannot handle loss, pressure and definitely sttrsss, and they perceive drug to be the easiest way of relieving and calming down themselves, but then this is all a personal behavior, coz not every gambler does in such a way.

When one consumes alcohol or some hard drugs there is a release of DOPamine in their brain which makes them feel very happy all the time and whatever they are doing at that time, they will never see it as something bad. Rather, it will be something that they consider to be contributing to their happy mood.

To some extent I will agree with you that hard drugs can promote gambling, but the drug consumer needs to be someone who like gambling before they will be effective on them in that area.

Will you rank Alcohol as a drug as well? Because I do not know for drugs exactly, but for alcohol, I can say that yes some gamblers rely on alcohol use. So what I am saying is @OP, if you do not see alcohol as part of drugs maybe because you indulge in alcohol, then you have a stigma for others not using the same substance as you. Also I will like to point out that not all gamblers rely on drugs or alcohol for gambling, some have their own ways of letting go of the pressure built up from gambling, they have their own ways of keeping calm. Some may have the habit to hit the gym, some play video games, some watch movies, some take a swim, some go play physical football, things like that.

Any addiction is bad, and it takes a lot of time for not everyone to get addicted to it. Now, gambling addiction and drug addiction are two different things and have nothing to do with each other. When a gambler becomes addicted to gambling, he considers gambling to be his main source of income and tries to make gambling his main source of income, whether he wins or loses. Yes, when a gambler loses everything, he may lose control of himself and become attracted to drugs, but that does not apply to everyone.

Drugs has no relationship with gambling!

I am on the opinion that gambling has no business or relationship with taking of drugs.

What only happens here is that some people like a situation that will make them don't feel bad in what they are doing. Like they want t be completely zero minded when they want to involve in some action, and this makes them to take drug. Now they feel like before gambling they need to take drug before they can perform well in gambling but what they don't know is that taking drug before gambling is the worst case scenario that can happen to anyone. It's a matter of choice but if a gambler adopt that system he has become addicted on 2x leverage meaning that he now has 2 level of addiction, which are gambling and drug addition. Surely in my own understanding I feel that gambling has nothing to do with drug but anyone that does the both is just a person who is a drug addict but likes to use it and gamble, and when he does that he find pleasure in it and find it difficult to leave and blame it on gambling.

Drugs has no relationship with gambling!
...

There is actually a relationship. Studies show gambling problems often occur alongside drug and even with alcohol misuse, and both involve similar risk factors and for mental health. While it's not true for everyone since we have different risk management and body intake, it's also not accurate to say there's no connection at all.

So you doing drugs?
If yes, then try quitting at least for your mental health, you may feel as if you getting off stress by substance abuse but mind you also that their have their long term negative effects on you well being, gambling is for fun, so seeking other substance to have that fun doesn't make sense to me, I suggest that we gamble with free head at least to be able to calculate our risks and limit our spending, instead of getting carried away with the temporary feelings from substance which most often lead to lose sense your have been impird by the drug.

This is the funny part: accusing the OP of taking drugs?

I think he just imagine it tha gambling has a relationship with drugs. The fact is the people have individuals decision if they want to take a drugs before gambling or not but the majority of us don't take drugs because we only seek for fun not destroying our life.

I won't argue though, because even here in my area, every single person whom I've come across that visits offline/physical casinos quite often are into some form of hard substance, especially alcohol, and my believe is that someone who takes alcohol have a high chance of doing hard drugs as well..

But then, I am not talking about light gamblers like myself and maybe some of us on this forum who are simply gambling for the sake of having fun and maybe for the fact that we are promoting gambling casinos which require to participate in gambling related discussions, and what other way is more effective to participate in gambling related discussions if its not for us ourselves to gamble and gain first hand experience?

For the hard gamblers out there, drug is likely and definitely part of their life because there are some risks people take in gambling which I am sure they can't take such risks with a clear mind.

To my opinion is all about the individual,if the individual is into drugs there is a tendency after losing he will run up to drugs to console him self but instead is destroying his or herself.i no a lot of people who gamble and the do do drugs.for real drugs has no relationship with gamble.

[Botnake]

I’m the one who can prove there’s no connection. I was a gambling addict before, but I was never addicted to drugs.

There are some drug addicts who gamble, sure, but that doesn’t mean the two are automatically connected. It doesn’t go both ways.

I don’t get why people always try to paint gambling as something evil. It gives entertainment, and it’s really up to the gambler how responsible he is. If he’s not, then yeah, he’ll get addicted, but that’s on him. We gamblers are the ones in the driver’s seat. We can’t blame anyone else for our own mistakes.

[Cantsay]

I have gambled for years and never have I been involved in any drugs, and also the people I know who are around me and that are also gamblers still don’t do drugs, so I’m curious as to why you’re surprised by the fact that someone pointed out that drugs has no relationship with gambling?

It’s true that drugs could affect how one thinks and does things but that doesn’t mean that everyone who has ever done drugs will automatically get involved in gambling there are some people who take substances of abuse and yet don’t do gambling, they find it less interesting than just getting stoned and dosing off.
