Drug debt - The final taboo.

It seems people are happy to admit to alcohol and gambling problems leading to huge amount of debt. However, I don't recall reading any confessions regarding drug abuse.

Certain 'recreational' drugs are expensive, and make drug dealers very rich. For the user, it can prove to be an expensive habit, often leading to huge amounts of debt being built up. With credit being so easy to obtain, especially in this Pay Day Loan era, i would suggest that drug dealers are profiting hugely from this.

This thread is not here too judge, but to support. If anyone has a story about drug debt they would like to share, then please do.

    Are you saying that you are in debt due to drugs or just trying to collect general information about others? Your opener sounds very like a journalist to me. Give a statement and ask for discussion with no personal story.
