I remember once reading a story somewhere on reddit, where a guy had a drug problem and he had a dealer that would get him anything he wanted. When the guy told his dealer he wanted to get clean, his dealer revealed that the guy was literally his only customer, and was only selling to him because the dealer wanted to make sure the guy only ever got clean+uncut stuff in quantities he'd be unlikely to overdose on. Or something along those lines. I feel like that plot would work really well for a end-of-movie reveal

Edit: this was not a post on reddit, this is a story from one of John Mulaney's specials.

Pretty sure that was a John Mulaney joke/life story

You know, now that you say it, that has to have been where that memory came from, thanks for catching that

Yeah it turned out John Mulaney turned one of his friends into a drug dealer and he just kept doing it to make sure Mulaney got quality stuff
