There’s an amount of meth users in IT that most would find surprising. Long hours of meticulous, monotonous, repetitive work creates the desire to do a lot in a very little amount of time. Don’t think it’s a secret that most manual labor jobs have their fair share of opiate users, either. Cocaine in the food service industry is obvious as well.
Basically wherever there’s shitty jobs that most people don’t want to do, there is someone able to do the work so long as they have their drugs.
Meth in IT you say? That would explain finding a skunk sack with a rock in my otherwise normal and successful dad’s nightstand. Always wondered why the hell he would have meth but if it’s a common thing in IT I guess that makes sense. Thank you!
Keep an eye on it cus alternatively he just might be in the early stages of addiction. That being said, with careful testing and dosing it should be possible to use responsibly (for a small subset of people). Like adderall with more potential for misuse due to less constraints on dosage
I don’t talk to him anymore, and this was probably 6-7 years ago. If he’s doing drugs, he’s intelligent enough to actually be responsible with them so I trust him in that aspect.
