blog post 11: not even once

Often people think that if they are dealing or associated with drugs but not using they are somewhat superior. They become wrapped up in their own pride and ambitions. This is something that we really see with both Hank and Gus. Both of them had been screwed over in the past and had this strange drive to be the most successful drug head and meth cook.

Both Gus and Walt belittle those who use especially Jesse. They talk down to him and do not trust him because he uses. Gus especially refuses at first to let him be part of his “company” because he is a junkie.

But ironically, Gus and Walt both end up dying due to their choices. Neither of them ever used drugs. They were both very clean cut. I think what most people do not realize is there are a lot people out there that deal but don’t use. The consequences however are the same. You are still putting yourself and those around you at risk as we saw throughout the series. Not many people in the show actually did drugs. The only ones really did were Jesse, the hookers, Tuco, and occasionally Jesse’s drug dealers who eventually clean up.
