ELI5:Whay is a drug den called a "Trap house"?
gpt
Essentially, once a drug dealer has been successful, he will eventually obtain a house not meant for living in, but just a place where all the junkies know there will be a constant supply of dope, and shelter, which is probably the two main demands of a drug addict that hangs out in trap houses. And that's where the "trap" is. A steady supply of drugs, a roof over your head, and being surrounded by only other drug users or sellers is the haven every junkie is seeking, so why would they want to leave? It'll just keep drawing them back in, pretty much "trapping" them there until they somehow make a change. "Trapping" can also be used as a term for just selling drugs, and it's the same concept, once an addicted is hooked on your supply, you have them "trapped".
