6 - Drugs

IDK Its weird how a lot of rich and powerful are all closet drug addicts. Like you got the funds and resources to turn your self into an Adonis amongst people. You got the funds to go skydiving daily, flying in experimental aircraft, learning how to do some James Bond level driving maneuvers, or train to go all John Wick on a shooting course. Yet a lot go, “hold my beer gonna get some nose candy”

Like come on, am I missing something or are these people terribly boring? Where are the mega wealthy ones that wake up to have breakfast in a hot air ballon, followed by Horse Polo, followed by fencing lessons from an olympic champion?

You're missing how a bunch of their friends from their new social class already do drugs and how good those drugs feel.

Easy hole to fall into, but money honestly makes it harder to climb out of, you can always afford the drugs.

So it becomes the norm, whereas someone at the poverty line with an addiction can't afford them regularly and has to spend grocery money on them and therefore might be addicted but also resents them.

Rich people can afford to normalize drugs and consider themselves fine while they're on them, because they're still living within their means.
