Holy Bacchus Vinnys only beating Quinn at selling drugs because she won't touch the higher end stuff like coke and she has a limited customer base right?
do not forget that it might also imply him selling to minors!
as for Tommy loosing it? we all know that Quinn is overcharging if he goes to the downtown and get it directly he will probably cut the cost of what he used to pay to just 20%! so yes he can OD but that is because he gets his stuff on higher grade then what Quinn sells (or cuts) or he buys so much amount that his organism might not take the bang of his increase consumption! Anyway i don´t know how much DPC knows about this particular world and how well he can portray it, probably gonna be some Hollywood bullshit where all consumers are just evil instead of recognizing that these are people normally in tremendous emotional pain who need help!
also we got the image of Quinn having caught up to the guy who stole from her! somehow that is never gonna end well...
as for the needle things many prescription drugs are inject able because they hit faster and harder! people can also smoke heroin but they inject cause its more effective, same for cocaine but since cocaine is a buzz that goes by fast instead of heroin who lasts far longer the injecting stuff does not do much sense except you´re on a budget and wanna stretch it out, but if you do that crack seems more effective!
now me personally i am all for free choice but that choice can`t be given to people who do not have the maturity to make them! in many ways junkies have lost their ability to choose but i considered it more like a market conditions imposed on those poor people!
what do i mean from it? the stress and lack of human true connections from that world weakens them mentally
all study shows that if you provide those people with a house and meaningful human interactions they reduce in average 20% to 50% every year their consumption
furthermore when its legal somehow people find their ceiling and never go harder
when its more expensive (as it currently is because of the current "market conditions" imposed by the governments prohibition) they tend to go for the harder stuff and thus become more violent initiating a self destructive cycle that also hurts society greatly
yes i´m one of those nutcases for personal responsibility and getting the government out of people´s life except for quality control and enforcing the social rules but not to create them and impose unjust laws on people who are mature!
if there´s an age for smoking and drinking there should be an age for some of the harder stuff make it 27 or 65 or whatever
alcohol during the Prohibition era was a good example of the social disasters such things bring!
