Getting High on Their Own Supply	comment	In the 1983 film Scarface, one of the movie's most memorable quotes was Elvira Hancock's advice to Tony Montana on selling drugs: "Don't get high on your own supply" — advice that Tony Montana famously ignored and ultimately paid the price for. In fiction and real life, drug dealers, be they high-level kingpins or low-level street hustlers, often fall into the trap of addiction by recreationally using their own product. This reckless waste of their resources usually leads to: A rapidly shrinking drug supply because of their reckless use of it, leading to loss of profit due to not having enough drugs to sell. Loss of respect from other drug dealers/criminals, not to mention their personal associates. Sanity Slippage due to addiction and/or the drugs' effects, which can often lead to them making bad (and often fatal) calls of judgement. And finally death, either from a drug overdose or being killed by another dealer who was supplying them (as Tony was in the movie). However, this trope isn't exclusive to just drug dealers. Heroes or villains who rely on using a Super Serum or Psycho Serum to get their powers can often get too attached to it, leading to similarly disastrous results. This is also often used as a way to deconstruct Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!. This trope has been quoted or alluded to by many Hip-Hop artists since the release of the 1983 movie. A sub-trope to Hookers and Blow. Compare Addictive Magic. Contrast Straight Edge Evil. Not to be confused with Believing Their Own Lies, despite this trope sometimes being a metaphor for that one.

The high-level drug traffickers of the cartels are nowhere near stupid enough to indulge in their own product. This also gets a Lampshade Hanging in Narcos: Mexico by a couple of Gangbangers who just introduced crack cocaine to their Mexican partners. They've seen Scarface, but unlike Tony Montana himself, they actually take the lesson to heart. Played straight with the members of the Prisco gang that aren't Ricardo, who are shown to party heavily with booze, hookers, and their own cocaine. This leads to the fatal mistake of one of them calling their associates on a satellite phone, giving away their location to Los Pepes and the cops. Zigzagged with the Guadalajara Cartel's bosses. FÃ©lix sticks to Cigarettes of Anxiety and broody glasses of liquor and is consequently the most clearminded of the lot, Don Neto partakes in the odd line of coke but is otherwise a Functional Addict, but Rafa gets high so frequently that he becomes a liability to the organization with his erratic and stupid decisions.

Getting High on Their Own Supply / int_562e8a6e	comment	Max Payne: The first game features Valkyr, a highly addictive and dangerous drug with a Sickly Green Glow that has been circulating through New York's underworld for several years by the time the game takes place, with a group of Valkyr junkies having murdered Max's wife and infant daughter three years before during the early days of the drug. Jack Lupino, one of the lieutenants in the Punchinello mob who traffics in the stuff, has gotten addicted to it and uses as much as he can get his hands on, which has driven him murderously insane. This is because Valkyr isn't a recreational drug at all, it's a Psycho Serum originally developed for military use that Nichole Horne, the Big Bad of the game, has been selling through her criminal contacts after the government pulled the plug. The "high" the users are getting is the initial stages of psychosis and bloodlust meant for combat, with Lupino one of the few using enough for the full effect, such that when Max finally brings Lupino down, he has to empty the full mag of his Beretta into him just to be sure he's dead.

Getting High on Their Own Supply / int_ca08598f	comment	In The Wire, Avon Barksdale demands that the members of his drug syndicate keep themselves disciplined and drug-free so that they're sharper and better than their rivals. A few of his lieutenants are seen partying anyway, although they justify it as only being because of a special occasion. One notable example within the Barksdale Organization is Bird, the hitman responsible for killing off the witness at D'Angelo's trial that they couldn't bribe, and later a participant in the torture and murder of Omar's boyfriend Brandon. When talking with the MCU, Omar informs them that Bird does not cut into his own supply, which is wise, he also is not completely a smart soldier, as he uses the same gun from murder to murder. The MCU thus apprehend Bird as he's leaving one of the shooting galleries. The trauma from seeing Brandon's dead body after hinting the Barksdale crew of his whereabouts drives Wallace to start snorting the product he's supposed to be selling. A lot of this discipline within the organization is lost when Avon goes to prison at the end of season 1, and by the time that he returns to the streets in the middle of season 3, some members are openly using. When Avon sees a couple of low-ranking members getting high in the middle of his homecoming party, he angrily has them thrown out. Sherrod, Bubbles' protoge in season four, works as a corner boy while also developing an addiction to the product, which ultimately leads to his death from a poisoned vial Bubbles meant for the junkie who keeps robbing him.

Getting High on Their Own Supply / int_cc1ec7ec	comment	In Daredevil, after the Kingpin is dethroned from his seat of power, the first thing the next issue shows is some low-level operator from his empire known as "Trainwreck Miller" trying his hand at being an autonomous pusher. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't really know how to hide the evidence.

Getting High on Their Own Supply / int_cc510e3f	comment	A common problem encountered in Bar Rescue is bar staff drinking from the bar's own stock during working hours and getting intoxicated. This naturally infuriates Jon Taffer because aside from leading to drunken behavior, it's also incredibly unprofessional and wasteful.

Getting High on Their Own Supply / int_d9c602eb	comment	The South Park episode "Medicinal Fried Chicken," which as a Whole-Plot Reference to Scarface, treats KFC food as a G-Rated Drug as fast food became illegal in low-income areas in Colorado at the same time that medicinal marijuana becomes legal. Cartman is hopelessly addicted to KFC and starts working as muscle for a dealer, then ends up taking over and orders more product from the Colonel than he can possibly sell to feed his addiction. This results in a shoot-out between his grade school gang, the Colonel's thugs, and the FBI.

When Lo Wang finally tracks down the one behind the operation, he learns that the dealer in question has become a gigantic demon called a Talon as a result of using too much of his own Shade and has to be put down. As Wang is a Pop-Cultured Badass, he immediately references Biggie, having to spell it out for Kamiko.

Getting High on Their Own Supply / int_f0c816fb	comment	A lot of problems in Breaking Bad are caused by Jesse getting high, though not just on the meth he cooks personally. That said, other people in the business, like Walt and Gus, avert this trope. In fact, Walt specifically refuses to even meet his customers, partially because he's living a double life, and partially because he rather hypocritically finds drug use distasteful.

Getting High on Their Own Supply / int_fa00b130	comment	Spongebob Squarepants: In "Just One Bite", Spongebob finds out that Squidward has never eaten a Krabby Patty, and spends most of the episode trying to get him to try one despite Squidward's insistence that he'd hate it. When Squidward finally relents, he claims it's horrible... only for it to turn out he was lying to save face, as he actually loved it. Over the course of the episode, his desire for more Krabby Patties reaches the point of an obsession reminiscent of addiction. This eventually reaches a point where he locks himself in the Krabby Patty vault and starts devouring them. Once he's out and an ambulance is called to take him to the hospital from explosive overeating, the driver wistfully says he remembers his first Krabby Patty too.

Getting High on Their Own Supply / int_fdc66d32	comment	In Kamen Rider Double, superpower-granting Gaia Memories are a clear metaphor for drugs, with addictive properties and even regular use resembling drug injections. While most of the dealers use special Drivers to filter out the side effects, Weather Dopant prefers to take them straight and uses multiples at once for extra powers. This causes his ultimate downfall as when his Memory is beaten out of him, he dies from the backlash, as opposed to other users emerging unscathed.
