LOL!!!! Yikes - I hope I’ve never said any of those things!!!! Although a few did seem familiar to my vast repertoire ……..please believe I AIN’T NO DOPE FIEND!!!! I’m crazy as hell sober!!!! TRUST!!! I’m a handful, ask anyone who knows me.
Anyway - back to this crack thing —-
Crack ain’t just for the underbelly of society anymore. The illicit substance is becoming the drug of choice across social milieus. Serenity House Drug & Alcohol Treatment Centre in Calgary has treated bankers, oil workers and CEOs with crack addiction problems. Jodi Dahlgren, a substance abuse therapist told me, “I used to work at Main and Hastings in Vancouver, but I’ve never seen anything this bad. I never thought I’d be treating millionaires with crack addictions.”
I spoke with Brent, a recovering outpatient, and he’s typical of this new class of addict. Like many users, he burned through a lot of money on crack. Although the exact amount is hard to estimate — he still hasn’t tallied how much he spent on hotel rooms alone to host drug-fuelled parties — the figure is at least $250,000, which includes the remortgaging of his home and several thousand dollars in RSPs. “I feel terrible for the girls we were partying with,” he told me over the phone remorsefully. “They were good girls from middle-class homes. Some of them were still going to high school.”
GO FIGURE!!!!
