Why rich people just don't do drugs everyday? I consider myself poor NEET from middle-class family, still get high daily (if enough money). I'd never be sober if owned one million, so how do multimillionaries live without drugs? Or are they drug addicts? Or, maybe, never tried drugs?

Substantial wealth should be protected and propagated over generations. It only takes one of two generations of fuck up progeny to really dry up a decent well so to say. Value of an ivy education seems to be depreciating. If you do drugs all day what can you really offer to growing your families wealth? Tech is an anomaly where people are able to amass wealth without old money connections.

Do you not understand how it is bad for your health and concentration. Or do you not understand how it will negatively impact your wealth? It's actually not too hard to waste away your wealth, just look at sports athletes and Lottery winners.

Most people don't get rich until they are older. And while I know will come as a shock, most adults grow out their desire for drugs.

Despite what see on TV or movies, the "hip, well-off pot-smoking middle age cool dude" is almost universally a myth. Most people still getting high or doing other drugs into their 40's and beyond are pathetic social pariahs, even if they keep their shit together.

Furthermore, there's still a stigma associated with drug use of any kind (again, despite what you see on TV or in movies). Not to mention the legal consequences. Rich people have more to lose by harming their social standing, and reputation, let alone running afoul of state or federal laws.

>> No.622219

All of the implications ITT.... Of course rich people do drugs, you'd be naive to think they don't do rails off their $1000 hookers. Sure, not all of them do it, but it's safe to assume a vast majority of them do. There's a lot going on behind closed doors.

People who smoke weed because they enjoy it tend to not let anyone know they smoke weed. The older, more well off people remember the bad stigma that pot used to have and hence keep it to themselves.

They are, but they have the means to avoid the life of shitty apartments, shitty jobs, and crime that most addicts enjoy. They also tend not to get high on the job or before work.

The sterotypical pot smoker is someone young, with long hair, who openly supports legalization, and like pro-pot musicians and media. The clean cut business professional who enjoys a joint at home after work is as far as you can get from a teenage stoner.

Or you do it with a close group of friends like i do. They all got their lifes together and don't look like stoners. So just dont let your coworkers bosses neighbours family members see you smoke and you'll be alright.

Oh and OP most harddrugs are just very very bad and addictive for the body and your time on this planet is the most valuable thing there is so i'd rather stick to a joint or a beer in the weekends and occasionally an xtc pill on a party. If i would do this every day it would become normal and the joy i would be getting out of it will be significantly less.

Some do, there was some documentary about that rich guy is clearly an opium addict but he is fine because he has a secure hook up and enough money to feed his addiction. Which just goes to show the benignness of opiates, and that the real problem is not opiates but a lack of opiates. Legalize it.
