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.

If you are rich (or famous) people will want to control you and the best way to do that is to get you hooked on drugs and supply those drugs.

Look at how those people around Matthew Perry were laughing about how much they were charging him for the ketamine. Think about all the managers that have provided drugs for musicians.

The issue, you see, is that they can do all of that stuff with cocaine too

no matter how rich they are, they're still human and they get too tired for fencing after playing Horse Polo (which rich people just call Polo by the way). the cocaine allows them to have the energy for Space Tennis right after getting their asses kicked by olympic fencers

Drugs are fun but expensive, not sure what's hard to understand

Things won’t make people happy for forever, happiness comes from within. People with financial resources can afford to spend a lot of time running from that truth.

your "day 1s" refer to the people who have been with you since day 1, e.g. your longest friend
