Internet is bad for conveying sarcasm.. or whatever I was trying to convey...

^ supposedly anesthesiologists breathe in minute amounts of anesthetic gases which can cause them to be predisposed to addiction/drug abuse. Not sure if I buy it. I think it's all about access. They have a boatload of fentanyl (among others but fent is usually the primary opioid availible) sitting in front of them at all times. I have worked in operating rooms before, and inside the O.R. environment there is not a lot of control over controlled drugs for the most part. Drugs like midazolam, pentothal, phenobarb, etc. sometimes just sit around, and things like fent, morphine, and so on are often not even locked up. At my place of employment there was on anesthesiologist who would start the patient under anesthesia, then insert an IV into his own hand and start a fentanyl drip for himself. He got away with it for quite a while since the patient's head, where he kept his hand, is under drapes and not visible to the scrubbed surgical team. He did eventually get caught, sent to one of those professional intervention programs, and now works, I think, for an insurance company or something doing non-clinical work. Interesting story.

HA! Yeah I knew that's what it was, but that sounds pretty unbelievable, so I didn't want to post only to get people asking me for proof =D . But yeah I read about that a couple years ago, crazy shit. Just the temptation of being around it, seeing people getting sedated at your hands all day long, I mean shit if that doesn't get ya interested I dunno what will!!

The more I think about it, I'd think access and viewing the effects of the drugs are reliant upon each other and have to crush the 'breathing minute amounts of opiates' theories. I dunno, just makes more sense that way. And the slick methods of iv'ing, that was in the article as well, they're damn clever in that regard (which is to be expected, given that's what they do for a living).
 
Steel Fabrication and Ironworking goes hand in hand with drugs. All of them.

This is definitely true. Most people I know who are heavily addicted to oxys and heroin are construction workers. I think it has partly to do with ease of access to opiates from the high percentage of accidents on the job. Also, I can imagine that working hard as a laborer would be hard on the body leading many construction workers to use opiates to ease the pain.

+1 on the office workers doing coke.

Keep 'em coming!

I can second this . . . three of my cousins did construction work for a while on the same job-site and two ended addicted to oxycontin and some other opiates. One of them still uses sometimes but is no longer addicted, maybe never was (but I'm pretty sure he was like two-three years ago). The other one really fucked his life up, joined the air force, etc.
 
yeah. construction workers: coke and opiates
restaurant workers: pot, x, coke
delivery drivers: pot

CHEMISTS (i know a ton of chemists, there's 6 in my family alone):
---All drugs

My current organic chem teacher took a teaching job specifically because it would allow her to either take or synth drugs with little supervision.
 
Motherfuckers that write for sesame street ------------> mad amounts of LSD.

*Seriously though, has anyone actually watched this shit its trippin' me out.

I can't believe no one has mentioned lawyers/law office staff and coke.

Not common (and very frowned upon) on the West Coast (US) but nearly everywhere on the East Coast.

My big brother is a new associate in a pretty big New York law firm, and he told me that the prevelence of coke is EXTREMELY exaggerated. He said its frowned upon, and those that use it do so very privately and secretively.

I think most businesses would frown on cocaine usage, and most lawyers I have known who I either knew or suspected used were very private about it (or so they thought). Lawyers have overall a high percentage of substance abuse, certainly the most common is alcohol. Substance abuse continuing education is required by most (if not all) state Bar associations. It certainly doesn't stop some of them.

^ since when is being a junkie considered a career?
does that mean I do have to file taxes this April, after all?

That's great. It IS a career too, now that I sit and think about it. It's that all encompassing.
 
^ funny that this came up

I'm writing a paper, one of the citations in it is:

Rubington, E. (1967). Drug addiction as a deviant career. Substance Use & Misuse, 2(1), 3-20.

Yeah, those coke users are some classy folk, aren't they? 8)

Most coke users I know are not what I'd call high class. They work minimum wage jobs and are constantly being fired.
 
I'd associate any job requiring long hours awake with stimulants. Perhaps jobs requiring physical exertion with opiates to ease the pain of sore/strained muscles.

I don't have a job, just going to college - majoring in computer science and physics. I like psychedelics, dissociatives, and opiates. I dislike alcohol, a worthless recreational drug on its own IMO. I don't care much for any of the stimulants I've tried, but they have been weak ones. I like MDMA and methylone if you count those as stimulants, but they are much more than just stimulants, IMO.
