I just want to say one thing. My ex's main dealer had no drug problem himself. It's true he had trouble getting work, he was a migrant and had no real skills, but he made a LOT of money out of the misery of others, and supported a family VERY well on that money.
There's a few stereotypes here that rub me up the wrong way. It seems like the rich addict is worse than the poor dealer just because he has money! Does coming from a poor background mean you don't have to have a conscience? Or does coming from a rich background mean you are always to blame?
Small time dealers who do it to support their own habit are different to me, it's the big ones, the ones that make money that really do my head in.
I know it doesn't help to blame the dealers, and maybe I don't really blame them for what happened to my ex. I just don't like them!
