I would say the drugs is a class thing…drugs are classy if youre rich, trashy if you’re poor.

I’m not USAian, but still.

Poor people are "crack heads", "junkies", and "drunks".

Rich people "have fun at parties", "Suffer from opioid abuse disorder", or are a "lush"...

Same shit, different tax bracket.

This true. Drugs are another tool to oppress people. The more money someone makes, the few drug tests they take.

It’s been well over a decade since I had to take a drug test for a job.

The more money someone makes, it's also the less likely they're working a job where people can be seriously harmed or killed by the direct, immediate effects of their behavior on the job. Jim from Sales being on smack is less likely to cause injury or death in the short term than forklift driver Klaus being on smack.
