how drugs and gambling destroy a person’s life??

[DeCryptoBlogger]

I’m fortunate to live in the Netherlands right on the German border, where soft drugs like cannabis are tolerated under specific local policies. That doesn’t mean I take the topic lightly, far from it.

While certain substances may be legally or socially accepted in parts of Europe, I think it’s important to be honest about the potential risks and consequences. In my experience and observation, this stuff can ruin lives, create serious dependence, and lead to long-term problems for individuals and their families.

I’m not here to judge personal choices, but we shouldn’t romanticize or underestimate the impact that addiction, of any kind, can have. It’s one thing to discuss freedoms and laws, and another to ignore the human cost when things go wrong.

Just wanted to share that perspective.

Cannabis is the kind of drug that the world has a rather ambiguous attitude towards. Because this is probably the only type of drug, if it can be called that at all, that is used in the long term in treatment, and in general there are quite a few places where it is legalized. But in any case, I would not take it together while playing gambling, because such a mix of entertainment only harms the overall result. It is better to play cards and roulette separately, or slots and decide for yourself whether it is worth getting involved in cannabis. Although to be honest, I absolutely condemn any kind of such entertainment.

I understand that cannabis is viewed differently in many countries, and yes, it has medical uses. But I’ve personally seen the long-term effects in someone close to me. Over the years, it changed his behavior, aggression, poor judgment, and damaged family relationships.

So for me, the concern goes beyond mixing it with gambling. Long-term heavy use can have serious psychological and social consequences. Maybe not for everyone, but the risks are very real.

That’s why I don’t think the discussion should focus only on whether it’s legal or combined with gambling. The long-term impact itself deserves attention.

You are right and this is where moderation is comes in as a very important thing or rule to adhere to, everything good in life have bad consequences when over done even the down to the food that we eat.
Some foods can be very healthy but it being healthy depends solely on how moderate we eat the food, the food taken or eaten too much could lead to some health issues or complications we won't believe is from that food.

There are drugs that are healthy but their being healthy depends solely on how we take the drug, for example, cannabis you mentioned is a very healthy drug and prevents heart related issues when taken moderately, but when abused like it's the case in most parts of our society today, it poses a serious health risk and issues that one could live with forever until they die.
So in all, moderation is very important in everything including gambling and drug (but who ever can avoid taking drugs should do so by all means).

[Wakate]

Yes, that's correct. Taking drugs kills the brain, it also kills the body, it depends on what type of drug and above all it gives you a very strong physical dependence that you cannot easily eliminate and also makes you commit some bad actions just to get the dose you need.

There has been lot of campaigns about drugs and how the government has been fighting to make sure that people abstain from abusing the use of drugs and taking hard drugs. A gamblers is 100% better than a man that is known for taking hard drugs.
At least we still prefer someone that is a gambler and has become an addict to someone known for taking hard drugs.

Well, you are right with your perspective, in my opinion.

I have friends who got addicted to different drugs. Be it marijuana or crystal meth. I have seen them at their worst, too, when they badly need the money to take another dose, but they don't have the capability, so they borrow money from different people, and their first victims will be us, the friends. Then, they made it worse by adding gambling to their bad habits. Now they are all buried in debts and I highly doubt they can recover from it. Some changed to try to become a better person, but others continue their habit.

When a person sees it, it will help them learn a lesson on why we cannot combine drugs and gambling. We are digging our own graves very fast by doing that.

I understand your point, but in practice financial incentives are a significant factor in how governments regulate both sectors, even though they are not the only consideration.

I feel you mate. Inasmuch as both gambling and drug addiction may have very similar effects on a person, the fact that the government frowns and punishes drugs users (even if you’re not addicted) but legalizes casinos in some part of the world say a lot about the two. It’s pretty much easier to cope with a gambling addict, just as it’s easier for him to recover than it is for a drug addict, because drug addiction gradually kills its victims from the inside.

[shawonngp]

anybody who is a drug addict will not even have the brain to calculate a game in gambling except that the person is already a gambling addict combined with a drug addict, but for me it is difficult before you can see a someone who is a drug addict and also been a gambling addict, instead of me to be a drug addict it is more better for me to be a gambling addict, because psychologically anyone who is a drug addict come undergo some health damages and also having a health challenges so it is different and it cannot be compared with someone who is only having influential problems so it will be better for me to be gambling addict because it can be controlled and it can be amend.

You don't have to assume that anyone that is taking drugs will not have the brain to calculate well, when some of these drugs do make them very active to work and do crazy things. There are bigger danger for people taking their and that is what the government had been fighting against trying to ban it and track the distribution by all means.
We ought to say no to drugs and it is more dangerous to our health than someone with gambling addiction.

Drug addiction can undoubtedly cause more harm than gambling, just as gambling addiction causes gradual damage, drugs destroy the body and psyche more quickly and severely. When we take drugs to excess, we immediately lose our ability to think, we cannot even know what we are doing at that moment and we cannot remember it. That is why drugs should be kept away completely, we can gamble with limitations, this is not a problem, but even if we take a very small amount of drugs, it becomes very harmful for us.

Gambling and drugs are both very harmful; both can lead to death. Maybe drugs can affect the body very quickly, because taking too many drugs will destroy your brain, and your behaviour will seem unusual to everyone, because it is the effect of over intoxication, which destroys people physically. But gambling can also stress you physically and mentally. When you become addicted to gambling, you can no longer control your mind. Many people even commit suicide due to their excessive addiction.

. Someone can think that taking drugs and gambling is the same thing.

That's where a lot of confusion could come from because we all try to break down each of the addictions. We can say that addictions aren't all the same because the ugliest and most dangerous is drug addiction, but thinking that drugs and gambling can be combined is a bit difficult. A drug addict will always want to buy drugs, and the money they spend on gambling will only go towards drugs That's what I mean a drugged person can gamble, but they won't last long.

[ZeroVinsonN]

That's not easy at all. Things with drugs are sometimes so delicate. Just look at some movies and how they portray addicted people and everything they do to get high, to get out of it I think a person with a drug addiction is something very difficult Gambling addiction is difficult too, but in terms of comparison, drug addiction is much more violent.

Even the movies mostly are like the number 1 encourages of hard drugs amd its usage. Young people seemed to always be glued to their phones and gadgets and these gadgets are always in the Internet.  Streaming and watching movies and moving from page to page. And  currently it seems like about 90% of movies always encourage the use of drugs . Offcourse young people always like to practicality what they see and always try out new things.  After trying out out they end up being user and end as addicts in the end.

Movies are rated according to their target audience so when a relatively younger person decides to watch a movie that above their aga grade then you can necessarily blame the movie for that, the only problem here being that we can't regulate what a person watches when they have access to their own devices that can enable them to watch these movies unsupervised, granted the amount of drug use portrayed in movies these days is just too much, most of which are unnecessary, maybe there can be some kind of a regulation on how much of these things are portrayed in movies.

On the moment that you do deal up with something on excessive manner on which you are already that spending up too much time and money and affect your mentality and other statuses that your life has then this is what it can be called addiction on something that you cant be able to stop. This is why it would be best that once you do deal up with something then it should be that in moderation and control so that you wouldnt be ending up on having some issues specially on your life because once addiction that shackles in then it would be that so hard for you to get out and thats something that most people ending up on having issues just because of this. Its always been best that you should be wary about into the actions that you are dealing on because once you do made out the wrong ones then you would be facing up such consequences.

You are right, not that being addicted to gambling is good but at least is a way better than being addicted to drugs, which can even destroy one's system, in a way it can lead to death and it only takes the grace of God for a person who takes hard drugs to stop or quit from taking drugs, unlike someone who is addicted in gambling can be managed if they are being by their family members or their determination to stop but nevertheless being addicted to these two is not an option, so people should be careful they way they allow things to get into them, for their own wellbeing.

Drug abuse is a major challenge we are facing currently and it's a serious killer of the dreams and aspirations of the young ones that get themselves all caught up in the art. You don't wait till you're addicted to so many things at the same time before you no that you should as a matter of urgency cut off from anything that's capable of destroying you not just for the short term but also the long term. If you're a gambling addict, the highest effect is that you get financially drained and it might take a very long time for you to recover from it. With proper discipline, you can still come out of it completely. But if you get addicted to drugs, the effect goes beyond the ordinary and can affect your health to the point that no form of rehabilitation can get you completely whole again.

No matter how much you gain from gambling and the intake of drugs,  you have to spelt out some of the negative effect it has on people because on a daily bases, people get endangered when they go about these things the wrong way.

[Agbe]

<...> so it can be said that drugs take life quickly while gambling slowly takes away the whole life...

False. A single gambling session can ruin a person's life because the amount of money you can lose is much greater. You cannot consume $1 million worth of cocaine, heroin or any other drug you want in one night, far from that. But you can lose $1 million in a single night. You can lose your life savings and even get into debt with quick loans and lose everything in no time.

You have a point though, ever wondered why a person that's not even addicted to gambling ends up incurring lots of losses when they decide to bet with a huge amount for the first probably just because they need a fast way to multiply what they have but it all turns out badly for them. Even drugs can ruin people's lives just by taking it for the first time. it's all about moderation and not doing things excessively.

[Italian Panic]

Gambling destroys a person's life when they lose the control of the situation. Gambling is good if practiced with responsability and if stopped at the point you decide previusly. If you cannot stopped the betting or the game you enter in a tornado who take away your money and sometimes all your money, even your life.

[oktana]

ADDICTION is the key phrase here. Addiction to gambling does damage to one financial and psychologically, with losses comes desperation and wins trigger delusions. You start believing in wins that may never happen, you end up running into dents, lies and untrustworthy.

For drugs? It’s more like a trap, your body builds tolerance to make you feel normal. This affects your health, finance and behavior, most likely your self control because In the absence of intake it’s impossible to eat or even go about your day.

The combination of both is a fast route to doom, it wouldn’t just take your money and health, it would shrink your future, self respect, relationships, ability to feel joy without stimulation. It doesn’t destroy you in flames, it destroys you in PIECES!

Taking drugs along with gambling is not the right decision at all because when we gamble, excitement or emotion is at work in us and taking drugs along with gambling doubles the amount of emotion or excitement in the frenzy, which makes it impossible to control oneself. As a result, it becomes very challenging to lose self-control and make the right decision. As a result, the gambler suffers financially, and even gambling becomes an addiction, resulting in life gradually coming to a standstill. Therefore taking drugs along with gambling doubles the amount of risk.

Such a decision is very terrible, in such a situation the gambler damages himself mentally, financially, family, and even his life. Those who have such a habit will not be able to live a normal life in any way, their families will easily be destroyed and they will completely deviate from the normal state.

You're quite right as a drug addict would be focused on getting the next fix and not to gamble. It works both ways as a gambling addict would readily spend the last money on him to gamble in hopes of striking it big, winning a bug enough amount to start his life again.
Drug addiction and gambling addiction are not the same. Both are addictions and really dangerous and have ruined and still ruining lives every day. A drug addict that's way in too deep spends about 95% of any money he gets on drugs. Probably same stats with the gambling addict that's in too deep. I don't actually believe anyone is more dangerous than the other as an addiction overtime is equally dangerous irrespective of the activity as it all leads to one same conclusion all the time. The person being extremely fucked up.
