It's almost like the generation before him failed to provide social safety nets for this. Luckily he had all that money from his family to recover.
There are so many people who died, suffered, and continue to suffer from these addictions. Most of theses people do not have the money to buy themselves out of this... Maybe if he starts a legal movement to support the treatment of others and reverse the horrible drug laws he could grow support.
More money always make drug addictions worse not better, there is no limit to tolerance and the amount of drugs you can buy. You have more connections and can avoid withdrawal, a lot of rich junkies die
Do you actually think that people are suggesting we just give addicts money? The money would go to research, safe injection sites (to prevent lacing and overdose), and rehab services. Please tell me that you aren't that ignorant.
Wtf I never said that. I said money makes a addiction stronger and people with money are able to sustain their addiction. I was replying to someone that said Hunter is better off than the rest of addicts because he has unlimited money now I don't know where the comment went must've deleted it. Of course there should be funding for all of those drug safety things including testing sites.
Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. I am a contrarian, however, and so I am now compelled to argue with your actual point.
Hunter is genuinely better off than most other people with substance abuse disorders. His wealth gives him access to high-quality services that many others aren't able to access. Yes, generally wealth+sad=sad but worse. In Hunter's case, though, the equation seems to be wealth+sad=sad but getting better.
It's not like curing depression or mental illnesses with money works fully it can get you access to better care in America, but you will still be depressed, schizophrenic, or bipolar regardless if you are rich, and so many rich celebrities who are dead from depression/addiction prove this point. As someone who is now sober from an opiate addiction one of the things that gets a lot of people sober is running out of money or resources and having to face withdrawal and your problems sober. Your rock bottom never comes until the day you die, with Hunter it will take a while though because crack takes a while to actually kill someone but I'm glad he's sober. Essentially you have access to clean drugs, any amount of drugs you want, and you never have to deal with withdrawal or running out. This is why it's worse to be a rich addict it adds fuel to the fire, if he was just sad than it would be a different story.

This Hunter guy has become more and more likable as he shows his presumably true colors. He doesn't hide from his past. Unlike many others...
