Question for Winter bone 3

Ree's mother is medicated for her mental illness, and neighbors donate painkillers to Ree after she takes a beating. The dolly clan makes a living by producing illegal methamphetamines, and Ree smokes marijuana when it's offered to her. How do mind-altering devices both destroy and make bearable the fabric of life in Rathlin Valley?

Mind-altering drugs ease the pain of existence, but they also change the recipient. Those using the drugs are only a shell of who they are, and the drugs may provide freedom from the pain of their existence, but they do nothing to improve that existence.
