This post takes a health‑first view. Substance use affects people from all backgrounds. Stigma can keep folks from seeking help.
- Realities: people use for many reasons—stress, trauma, social pressure.
- Risks: dependence, health complications, legal consequences.
- Support: harm‑reduction services, counseling, and recovery programs save lives.
If you or someone you know needs support, consider contacting local health services or helplines in your area.
