Why are so many strippers into dope?

Two reasons: 1) to numb themselves from bad feelings, and 2) they get mixed up in other fast-cash enterprises.

Are you a stripper? Have you ever stripped? If you had, you would be more knowledgeable on the subject. I have been in the 'exotic dancer' business for 9 years; most of the girls are actually in college, or they are supporting their families. It's not all about drugs. I won't lie to you, it is all about the money.

I'm a dancer. I think some dancers use drugs for the same reasons other people use drugs - escape, not thinking about the future, inability to resist temptation, to be cool. Dancers (we don't really use stripper that much) tend to do OK with money and it is cash so maybe they have more access/opportunity. Generally the girls at the better clubs don't as much as the girls at the not so nice clubs - not sure what is cause and what is effect, because once you start abusing drugs (including alchohol) regularly, usually a slide down to the bottom.

I think you can look at it the other way around. Why do so many dope heads become strippers? Stripping provides quick easy money for people with no job skills.

It's all part of the business, the hype and the 'glam.' It's the same reasons movie stars get tied up in drug problems, too.

I saw a news show about strippers and most of them said they do it only because the money is good, and they have kids to raise. I think the reason they do drugs is to numb themselves from the humiliation of having men act disgusting around them.

It's been pointed out that so many of these people are mentally ill and come from abusive backgrounds. The drugs are to numb the feelings.

If you were into the easy money of taking your clothes off for a room full of pervs, wouldn't you also be into the easy high of doing drugs? Also 'you become what you do'. I dated a girl who later became a stripper. She was a hippie chick who thought it was a goof and was amazed at the bad attatudes and lifestyles of the longtime strippers, a couple years later she had thier attatude and their lifestyle.
