Whaddya mean? The poor things have no money left over for anything else!

PS Do people actually have habits that expensive? Wouldn't they OD or something after the first $500 worth?

Yes, they do.

$500/day is a lot more typical, but the range usually runs between $200 and $2000 for serious users.

Not all of them pay cash. That's why they're called crack whores.

You can't overdose on cocaine, in the strict medical sense of the word. You can do so much cocaine that your heart just says "What the FUCK??" and chooses not to work any more.

With heroin, it kind of depends ... on the strength of the cut, mainly. Sometimes the product is cut so many times that you have to shoot more to get high from it. Also, you develop a tolerance for heroin, so you need more and more just to keep yourself from having withdrawal symptoms between shots.
