Why Do Many Celebrities Use Illegal Drugs

In this globalization era, the use of drugs has been widely used by many people,

especially celebrities. Everyone has a different perspective about illegal drugs, some

prefer to conclude that illegal drugs are absolutely bad for long-term usage. It is not

clear why celebrities prefer to use illegal drugs, therefore, this essay shall explore

some reasons why many celebrities use illegal drugs.

Firstly, they may have problems in their private-life and sometimes it can lead them

to a stressful life. Hence, some of them use drugs to escape from their problems.

However, their decision to use drugs can damage their bodies, and sometimes, some

of them could die of overdose. For instance, one of the widely known celebrities,

Heath Ledger, died from an overdose of drugs.

Secondly, their addiction of using illegal drugs could come from fellow celebrities.

Like teenagers, celebrities also have the pressure when they were asked to use

drugs. Generally, some of them could not handle the pressure and they went along

to use illegal drugs. For example, a famous actress, Lilo, was a clear example of the

peer pressure among celebrities who used illegal drugs.

Finally, in some developed countries, like America, it is easy to purchase illegal

drugs because of their law. For this reason, the condition can trigger some

celebrities to use illegal drugs. Whereas, curiosity can also become one factor that

made many celebrities in America do illegal drugs.

In a nutshell, it is clear that many celebrities use illegal drugs from the reasons

mentioned above. In my opinion, just because celebrities are surrounded by many

people who like them, does not mean they are happy. We do not know what

pressure upon them until we live their lives.
