I don’t take drugs, but I’m not ignorant to how normal it is to some people.
My older brother smoked cannabis for years, he ended up with psychosis and was sectioned for four years. He now has a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
My older half sister, her and her partner have smoked weed for years. She’s had to go to food banks several times to feed my nephew because so much of her money goes on drugs.
Someone I was friends with at school does weed with her partner and he also does coke. They got in trouble with dealers and had her car torched and windows smashed. They also rely on handouts as they’re always struggling to pay bills because it goes on drugs. They have a toddler who she struggles to buy nappies for.
Someone else I know got into massive debt with drugs and crashed his car into a tree killing himself and leaving behind a 6 week old baby.
I don’t do drugs no, but I am aware how prevalent it is. Of course it doesn’t always work out like the above, but often it does one way or another eventually.
