Even the highlights for this thread seem to go on forever...
There is some element of truth here but the drugs that ruined Nick are success and excess. Kiwi farmers tell stories about mushroom trips they had 10 years ago in college and smoke grass while they listen to Ween records from the 90's. It takes money to support a coke habit, a lot of money. Nick decided at some point to live like a rock star and do whatever he wanted with his fat Youtube bag. Like Bossman Nick had a lot of time and resources to dedicate to his pursuits and very few people to hold him accountable for chasing the dragon.
See the fact that you think alcohol is a lesser threat to society than weed tells me you don't understand drugs at all. Pot is a mood drug for most people akin to an anti-depressant. You can be buzzed out of your gourd on THC and have a great time playing blocks and coloring with the kids. Drugs have scenes, they have personalities, music, culture, history. Drugs aren't all just one interchangeable monolith with a carve out for coffee and beer. If Rackets was hitting dabs and playing x-box we wouldn't be having this conversation. Hell, if he was doing coke like a normal person and burning through an 8-ball over the weekend off camera we wouldn't be having this conversation.... but he had like 7 8-balls if the weights are correct, and he was so fucked up and gaunt that the streams were tantamount to cries for help. The drugs are just something to peruse, something to indulge in and chase for Nick, just like sex and mustang pulls. You can make anything a vice, if you embrace the LA mindset you can make everything a vice.
You can't party harder than everyone forever. Good Ol' Slurms taught me that, rest his future soul.
Every kiwi is an illegal drug user it seems, from pot to ketamine to coke, all of it. Then they go 'omg this guy got caught', while they all do it all the time. What can really be said of that? I mean most kiwis won't have kids so not quite as bad, so that's not as bad?
I know this will get flags, people hate their mirrors.

Ban drugs, weed, make it Singapore style, I know guys love weed, but you'll end up like this.
Just allow alcohol and that's bad as it gets. The entire 'recreational drug' thing will eat you up and destroy all you. Nick wasn't using weed and was into the worst shit, but being easy on drugs leads to what we are seeing. It's a nightmare.
