With the offshoring of manufacturing jobs men with nothing to do end up taking drugs. In poor areas drug use is very common, so it is easy to eventually give in and try it, then you are hooked the first time and can't stop.
- josefresco 9y agoThat's, not how addiction works. Also, drug use is common ... everywhere. Rich people can afford to hide their drug use, and can also afford legal protection if they are caught.
- gscott 9y agoSo people don't get addicted because they have nothing better to do? I lived in Lakeside California where so many people are addicted to meth, it is crazy. If there was manufacturing people would have something to do, have something to look forward to, an idea of a future and stay off drugs. Not everyone can do white collar work and not everyone wants to work in fast food or 7/11. The outsourcing of work an average everyday person does leads to ideas of no future, which leads to boredom & self-pity, which leads to drug use. For $10 you can get high, be happy and not worry about a thing. That high solves all problems. Then the person just thinks about their next high and how to get it.
- igravious 9y agoYou misunderstand. It's not one hit and you're hooked.
- themaninthedark 9y agoDoes it matter if it is one hit and you are hooked or five hits and you are hooked? The end result is that we still have people addicted because of how good it makes them feel about their shitty circumstances.

- ruleabidinguser 9y agoGot a source for that?
- josefresco 9y agohttps://www.vice.com/en_us/article/exqm9j/reasons-why-you-cant-get-addicted-to-drugs-after-one-hit https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/exqm9j/reasons-why-you-ca... https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/heroin-addiction/faq/addicted-first-time/ https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/heroin-addiction/faq/addi... that introductory experience can be the start of a compulsive cycle that quickly leads to addiction. Probably better sources, but the boogeyman scare tactics taught to children to keep them from experimenting with drugs is too simplistic and flawed - but hey no one is going to explain to kids how brain chemistry works because abstinence is ... easier.
