Drugs in the strip club

Wanted to take a moment to address this. Drugs are rampant anywhere in the country but damn they are prevalent in the strip club. No one addresses this. There are two things to consider. Are dancers using because they like the party lifestyle or because they want to relax and open up. The truth is simple a girl will do what she has to do to make a living. Sometimes a dark void opens up and you want to escape and drugs are the option that is easy and effective. Every dancer, pornstar and hooker was once a girl wanting to be a brain surgeon or other job but they realized their pussy and tits are more effective then their brain. Thats just how that works. But that can weigh on someone to the point of needing a crutch. The point is answering the drug problem inside of strip clubs and for that point across the world needs to start with understanding why people use.

The same disharmony that leads to drugs can lead to a stripper lifestyle. I'm not talking about the dedicated single mother for whom stripping is the best economic solution. I'm talking about the stripper whose life is chaos and drama.
I met a lot of special people when I was a case worker. What I saw most was that people think they are too good and too special and unique to worry ab the typical issues associated with drugs, and can just have fun, until it does overwhelm them. Few people admit that they got involved w drugs bc it was fun, and they thought they were too good to get addicted.
I think there are pressures in the club and circumstances of that type of athmosohere that lends itself to girls starting to look for an escape. And drugs and alcohol are that escape for many of them.
Sadly, I've known a few dancers that have OD'd and lost their life's because of drugs too.
Mental illness (depression, bipolar, ...) can affect anyone. It is still taboo and in many cases the individual does not realize they are afflicted. Self-medicating can seem like an escape without the stigma of seeking out professional help.
I can't think of a single job, other than stripping, where this would be tolerated by an employer.
In my prior life i worked in education, doing after school activities just to supplement my income so I could have some resemblance of a standard of living. My fellow coworkers were the goofiest and most fucked up people I've ever met. Drug use would have been much higher if they could afford it, so they used whatever was inexpensive; alcohol/weed/stolen prescription medication.
The bottom line is that when faced with difficult scenarios, you got to do what it takes to change your environment for the better. If stripping allows you to have more hours of peace, with a few hours of stress, then it's a far better trade off than working in a job that slowly kills you. In my prior position, I was working my ass off and nobody cared, especially when you're working with impoverished people who's only escape is turning to drugs. I found out that by not being poor was the best way I could help myself and others. My escapes these days since I have
Money are traveling overseas or going out to a nice dinner with only one or two glasses of wine, and going to bed by 10 PM. The poor don't get to do that.
That's one reason I don't look for OTC. It costs me too damn much.
