Do you ever think about how misrepresented the post-apocalypse is in entertainment media?
Because I do.
I think about it all the time.

Think about it! What would be the number one resource in a post-apocalyptic wasteland?
Gasoline? Water? Food?
As valuable as the latter two may be (and sorry Max, but I imagine gas would lose its value), there's one commodity that would skyrocket in value.
Drugs.
I often wonder what the most popular drug would be in each wasteland. What if the wasteland was that of the #Mad Max Outback? What if we were living in a winter wasteland? An overgrown urban environment, as seen in games like #The Last of Us? Or a dusty earthquake-prone scenario like #I Am Alive? Hell, maybe we'll fall to the #Zombies!
Weed wouldn't be the top dog in any of these scenarios, no. We'd all rely on narcotics far more detrimental to our health.
Alcohol could be quite valuable, but somehow I picture meth and heroin on top.
Imagine-- anyone capable of manufacturing such goods would become a warlord! Beware the fiend, the methlord Heisenberg!

Another thing media often forgets is that most survivors would probably find a hobby to keep them from dying of boredom. Sure, you've gotta survive, but why does nobody ever just sit down and write, draw, or make some music? You've got all the time in the world to practice!

Oh, and sex. #A Boy and His Dog was onto something there. We'll all become whores, selling our bodies for whichever drug we're personally addicted to.
