If anything, the inverse is true, as you can see by so many of our inner cities, where poverty and social ills do contribute to the drug problem.

LOL, you must not hang around people with real money, of the people who I know who never have to worry about money, more of them do drugs than don't. Even if it's once a month, they still do it. It's funny that people still buy the BS line of money = happiness, and closes doors on fun and temptations.

The thing is you can't even imagine the type of money that guys like him have, so there's no comparison, you don't think he bought all the material possesions he wanted and did whatever he wanted in his free time ontop of the drugs, if so you're kidding yourself. If you're poor and like drugs you'll find ways to get them and if you're rich it's even easier, cause you don't have to worry about buying some drugs or paying the bills, it's far easier.

Where did I say that? I was talking about myself, hence the "I" in my post.

No idea how accurate what I found is, but from what I can tell, at most, including performance bonuses, he'd make an average of $2.2 million a year over the 5 years of his contract.

Take out the 35% for taxes, your looking at about $1.4 million. Doing what I want to do, I could go through that in a matter of 6 months each and every year, and that doesn't even include the money I'd have to spend just to live daily life, or the money I'd spend buying the things I want.

Trust me, I realize how easy it is to get drugs, and I also realize how many people use them. All I said is I personally wouldn't go out, and get drunk and high all the time like was said. As I mentioned above, there are plenty of other things I'd rather spend the money on, and even only doing one of them, I'd go through it extremely quickly.

But you can't say that, you can't see the future. You can't put yourself in a millionaires shoes and say you wouldn't do this or that, because until you have that level of money you don't know what you'd do. You may have ideas, but those can get left behind in the instant of a sniff. Never say NEVER, my friend.

So I can't say what I would do, but someone else can?

You're right I can't, and others can't put themselves in my shoes. Yet, like I mentioned above, others can say what I would do, but I can't? That kind of logic wouldn't even make sense to a 5 year old.

So on one hand, I'm being told I can't say for sure what I would do, but on the other, I'm being told what I would do. Hmm...something seems wrong there.

LOL, I haven't said you'd do it, but for someone to say never about anything is stupid. Sometimes you don't get to choose wether or not you do something, remember that.

Dude, if 6 grams is running you five hundred, you need a new man. In Texas, $500 should get you the onion.
