Explanation:

1. Some people are more drawn to risk taking than others. They may use drugs to fit in with their social
group or to help them cope, for a sense of release or individual transformation, or for the thrill.

2. It may be that your genetic or psychological characteristics mean you are more likely to take drugs.

3. Some people try drugs for the first time as an experiment, because they are curious or because
friends are doing it.

4. The age you are when you first try drugs can influence how you will go on to use them.

5. This is a major factor, as many people take recreational drugs for the ‘buzz’ or ‘thrill’. They make a
deliberate choice to pursue this ‘high’.

6. There are two schools of thought on the influence of your friends on your drug use. One is that the
group can pressure you into taking drugs. Another is that people may choose to hang out with people
who are into the same things as they are.

7. The easier it is to get drugs, the more likely you are to use them. This will also influence the type of
drugs you use.
 8. People who live in a ‘deprived’ state, where the risk factors are high and the protective factors low,
have a higher risk of using drugs.

9. Some people use drugs to lose weight or to help them concentrate. Others may self-diagnose
problems and use drugs to self-medicate.
