Reminder: Every Drug Addict Could Have Bought Friends Instead

 Start a movie-viewing club and spend the drug money buying movies or renting venues.
 If you're poor enough that your poverty is crippling, you are too poor to buy drugs. Call me when there's an epidemic of ODing on water.


 Druggies aren't killing themselves out of despair, exactly. They're killing themselves because they've been told to kill themselves, and they're more obedient than sheep. The despair is a side-effect, or possibly a means. It is not causal.

 

 Imagine all the would-be druggies in Springfield bumfuckistan, instead got up one day, got a cup of coffee, and decided to pool resources to make a LAN party house. A based LAN party, all day, every day. This is not some weird utopian scheme, some hyperautist technical feat, some Newtonian genius idea, or in any way difficult. It's just spending drug money on not-drugs, for sociological profit.

 They're killing themselves because they're weak and deserve to be culled.
