I thought it was widely accepted that cocaine was used by all aspects of society? And more specifically middle class / higher earners/achievers? I’ve heard many stories over the last 30 years of a high level of drug use in these circles, whether from paramedics attending overdoses, media parties/office nights out, deaths (from heroin) in high ranking financial circles, private schools…
many might not appear on the surface to be addicts, but drugs can suddenly take hold and destroy your life, specifically if your economic situation suddenly changes and you’re not in a position to finance your habit anymore.
