"On a daily basis I consume enough drugs to sedate Manhattan, Long Island, and Queens for a month. I take Quaaludes 10-15 times a day for my "back pain", Adderall to stay focused, Xanax to take the edge off, pot to mellow me out,cocaine to wake me back up again, and morphine ... Well, because it's awesome."Jordan taking this many drugs daily was not good for his actions, let alone his health. Jordan would not have crashed his helicopter because he was high. He also wouldn't have went crazy and got in a big fight with his wife and tried to take his children away from her, he wouldn't have went to jail either.
Another theme that would be totally different if elements were changed would be if he never met his best friend Donnie. Donnie and Jordan started Stratton Oakmont, because they were tired of getting treated like pond scum. It says in the story,
"You're lower than pond scum" said my new boss..."If Donnie was not in Jordan's life I believe Jordan would be successful, but not as successful as he was at Stratton Oakmont. Also if Donnie was not in the story Jordan wouldn't have went to jail for as long because half of the things Jordan went to jail for was Donnie's fault. He also wouldn't have been caught telling Donnie to not confess to the police because he was wearing a wire. I do not believe that this story would be better if there was no drugs involved. If Donnie was not in the story I believe it would still be around the same, but I just believe he would not be as big as he was. What do you guys think that the story would have been as good if Jordan was not on drugs, and Donnie was not in the story?
