Why can't Christians say that parts of the Old Testament don't apply??..

Loki_999 I truly wish I had never indulged into drugs, I've had to many friends die from drug use and it really breaks my heart every time I hear about one of them dying.

Well, don't want to completely derail this thread, but drugs are no different from many other things in life - use them sensibly and you will be fine. Abuse them you will suffer. Alcohol is the prime example.

Most of my friends at university and afterwards did drugs some more than others. Never had a friend die or come close to it.

Sorry to hear you had friends who died from them, guess they just didn't know when to stop.

Loki_999 addiction can be quick or it may take a longer period of time but either way it is a horrible and distructive thing that no one ever wants to happen to them, I do not know how long your friends have been using but I can tell you this if they continue you may wind-up mourning over someone that is very close to you. People find many reasons to start using and find even more not to quit, I can tell you this, most if not all will say escape is a good reason to continue to use the only thing about that answer is their escape from life could become the last thing they do.
