Same in our village you can get it everywhere (cocaine in this instance) and In the next small town. When you go out most are using and don’t hide the fact. It’s the norm to them. Like you say they think I don’t know because I don’t use myself but my ‘husband’ has told me what his friends were up to (when he was in his once or twice max a year usage)
I would’t have understood before. Some friends of mine would’t I’m sure if they knew. But it does become like a disease not one that is caught or develops but one that is self inflicted through recreational use and to escape situations that life throws at us. Sometimes folk need an in-depth explanation because knowledge is good, it can happen to anyone.
