Why are poor people so infatuated with drugs?

Hmm, that is a complicated question. Many factors could contribute to drug use. Some factors are a person’s social and economic position, their physical health, their mental health, their age, and their genetic makeup. In addition to these, some people want to feel more or less numb to their emotions. Others may feel like they can't control their lives, and drugs can offer a sense of control. Other things that could contribute to drug use include environmental factors, like a person’s neighborhood or community, as well as their friends, family and culture.
