Poor folks aren't more likely to use drugs: It seems that drug abuse is actually pretty common through society, but with poor folks using the least - mostly because drugs cost money.

Poor people are more likely to get caught for using drugs, however, simply because of living spaces. You and a couple friends wanna get high? Low income, you might be in a car, on the corner, or in an alley. Higher income, you might be in your basement or pretty private backyard.
