how is buying drugs reducing their suffering?

Why do we do drugs at all if it isn't to reduce our suffering on this planet?

I never have used any, so I don't know what the drugs would help with. I see it as just biding time and not reducing suffering long term. A person involved with homeless here in BC said drug use just prolongs the inevitable path to suicide. Oof.
