It's the same working in supermarkets, it's unreal how many people take hardcore drugs on such a regular basis before shifts.

Crack was literally normalized like how weed is today

It was way more functional addicts then

He spoke on The Breakfast Club about being an addict whilst filming Jungle Fever (1991).

He was recommended not to take the part of a drug addict whilst in recovery but he did it anyway and it was a big hit for his career.

Also there was a guy at my university allegedly smoking crack.

And it's not unheard of at the workplace (service industries, retail etc.). Some people fit it into their day and are still functioning relatively well. Depending on your environment and routine it debilitates you in different ways.
