          Because they've been priced out of legal drugs. Growing up I thought people got addicted by choice. Very few people get addicted because they fell into the wrong crowd and just partied too hard and ended up addicted. (that's a wealthy person's story that gets told all the time.)n the broken down drug addict you see on the streets. Likely was in foster care as a kid, had some physical or mental condition they couldn't afford to treat, or is from a historically marginalized groups.

            There is also the whole thing of the CIA smuggling Cocaine into the US and fueling the crack epidemic to undermine the civil rights movement and fund fascist terrorists in Central America and fuel weapons into a brutal war in the Middle East.

              I'M ADDICTED TO THE HUSTLE, THAT RISE AND GRIND LIFESTYLE. I EARN $1000 BEFORE I TAKE MY FIRST SHIT IN THE MORNING. (the big bowl of cocaine for breakfast is completely unrelated, I swear)

                Withdrawal from opioids can make you physically ill. When you are addicted, it doesn’t even make you feel good anymore, because you’ve desensitized those receptors.

                It sounds like hell, a cycle of feeling like absolute shit, doing awful things to get a hit (when you’re that desperate - are you going to make someone wear a condom if they’ll give you extra money not to?), and then just getting temporary relief.

                      The numbers vary but most all agree about 50% of the homeless population were orphans. Studies also find that between 1/3-1/2 of orphans become homeless when they turn 18 and leave the shitty social network that clearly doesnt adequately help them be ready for life outside those places.

                      Those numbers will only get worse as we keep shifting more money to the upper class and cutting social safety programs.

                        Heroin/fentanyl was the biggest example of this. Doctors were writing scripts for oxycodone to anyone who asked. Taking 2 of those for a month straight got people hooked. Buying oxy of the street is expensive, so they eventually had to move on to heroin/fentanyl.

                          US foster care system is little better than prison. Honestly, all past and current would have a good class action lawsuit against the US government.

                            It's almost as if those in power are pure evil. You can change the faces and the parties. But when the rubber meets the profits, you know who they'll side with.

                                It’s a common term for all stimulant users.

                                  Some crackheads twerk, but that's a different kind of crack.
