If you were homeless, had no support/family system or friends, slept in the cold, were a woman, faced DV and general danger/violence present on the streets, were starving, and fighting the darkest stages of your mental health... you'd probably do anything to feel better.
Drugs offer a temporary, yet effective escape from an impossible to survive set of circumstances. We know they're wrong, but in these hard times they are the only thing that feel right.
The drug use in these hard times then becomes a disorder of choice, meaning it affects our ability to "say no". It makes "saying no" (an easy and simple thing to do) become the most difficult and complicated battle.
This is only enhanced by the fact that with nothing positive or consistent in your life you have no fighting reason to even get better anyway.
Simply, why? Why does it matter? Everyone blows their money on useless **** , and drugs are no different
