Bullshit. Even drugs that take you away from reality don't have to be an escape from reality; "escape" denotes that you're leaving because you don't like reality, not because you do like where you're going instead.

From what you posted, I'd say don't start them.  

You should enjoy being 16 without adding this kind of complication to it.  Besides, you'll have more to "escape" from once you're older.  And I don't think you should sacrifice your friendships over something like this.  Chances are in a few years they'll be curious about drugs too anyway.

because an escape is an escape regardless of your feelings towards where you go and what you leave behind.

the denotation is something you see and choose to react to in a defensive manner out of reflex

this is probably because the overwhelming majority of drug users are dysfunctional reality hating creatures.

you mean the word not the phrase
i realize that.
you're escaping the confinement of a brain in its 'normal state'/current state

not all confinement is negative, how is a 'normal state' negative

i meant the phrase
when people say "drugs are an escape" it has a negative connotation
the word actually is very neutral in its connotation
