An|Wenden - To Use

To use hard drugs would be an awful experience. Or so we are told. It’s a non-stop ride to social depravity that would render any regular, hard-working guy utterly hopeless within a very short timeframe. But then what about the ridiculously rich who use cocaine and heroin on a regular basis, paid for out of their millions obtained from idiots buying their completely shite music, movies and hair products. Technically, they’re not doing anyone any harm except themselves. Some upperty cocksure fuckend spending five hundred quid a day on a crack habit must surely benefit the economy from their dealers spending massive amounts on diamond jewellery and Louis-Fucking-Vuitton bags and wallets. The sales tax on the purchases made from one single celebrity habit would probably be enough to fund several inner city drug rehab programmes. It’s not the drugs that are the problem - heroin is probably fantastic - but the inability to support a stupidly massive habit on a minimum-wage job. The only reason they want to make an example of the Amy Winehouses and Pete Dohertys of the world is so they can send a message to the lowlifes on the street that they’ll catch anyone for drugs, regardless of stature, so just look out! You could be next! But that’s just a ludicrously cynical approach to get addicts to quit so the government won’t have to pay for their prison or rehab sessions. Drugs are probably great, but I don’t really want to find myself performing shameful sex acts or robbing old ladies to maintain a great big habit. I‘d rather stick to my Chocolate Fingers and Tesco’s Finest Triple Chocolate Cookies addiction - marginally cheaper and slightly more socially acceptable.
