Money wasted on drugs

Ever think about how much money you guys spend on your vices.
I was looking at old bank statements, and when I was drinking heavily I would spend over $1000 a month at the liquor store. I did this for years.
I pretty much drank a downpayment on a house in a year. Not even counting the other drugs.
It is a sad thought as I sit here with less than $1 in my bank. $2 in change. Four smokes and 2 months behind on rent.

Rarely does consuming drugs help you make money.
Now if you were to resell it for profit.

Yeah I've thought about it, it's actually one of the reasons I decided to quit smoking weed. I was paying 110 a quarter and going through an oz every month. That wasn't all I was buying from him, just that was guaranteed every month.
Should have seen the look of disappointment on my dealer's face when I told him I had to quit.. I wouldn't be surprised to find out I was his best customer. I doubt he was doing much big time dealing given the car he drove..

after almost 27 years im finally learning how to save money and not blow it all on drugs. it takes lots of effort tho.

Let us be friends.
and of course he will be upset to lose a customer paying 110/7g. that is insane, where do you live?
I last payed 65 for 7g of powerplant kush., and even that I thought was insane.
and im 26, and not sure if Ive learned that lesson or not. I know it, but will I follow it?

I live in TX, I coulda found it a bit cheaper, but the one who I could get it from for cheaper was far less dependable.. I'd call and say I need something and then he'd say he'd be here in an hour and then I wouldn't hear from him until the next day or something.
Those two are the only ones I've ever found to have anything other than Mexican brick. Was worth the price to me. I was paying a little extra for a dependable dealer who was here within 20 mins of my call.
As far as I know 90-110 for a 1/4 is pretty standard pricing for top shelf shit here.. Anyone who says they can do better has never been able to prove it to me.

Shit I probably spent 20 grand on heroin in the year and a half I was using it.
Dont even get me started on weed,psychs, alcohol, etc.
Ive probably spent well over 100k in 8 years.

Canada is pretty decent, lots of good cheap drugs. Ket, coke, m, H, speed. All cheaper and relatively pure. Booze is so pricey though. 35$ here for the cheapest 40oz of hard liquor.
and there is some smokin canadian chicks man.

Dope has gotten me through when I didn't have money but money never got me through when I didn't have dope.
I can't remember who said that or how it was said exactly but it's pretty brilliant in a way. Basically, you can be happy without money but with only money all you've got is green colored toilet paper.

You don't have to buy dope, you can make it or grow it depending on your dope of preference. That quote is good quote regardless and there are plenty tons of reasons to get high. I rarely get high but it is a necessity in my life. I wouldn't be complete if I had never experienced several kinds of highs. That said, I love being sober too. I also love dope. I don't love either one more than the other.

What's your point? That's why dope is more important than money. It is worth more and even when it's not worth as much it will still be worth something AND the chances of its value in weight going down are slim. Dope rules money.

All the time its soul crushing, i spend 300$ every 1-2 weeks for medical marijuana,ive been doing it for around 5 years,aside from that almost ALL the pocket money ive ever had went to booze or drugs.Only a few ties have i actually bought something legit. If i were to guess how much money i've spent on just weed alone it would probably be 100k

I wasted approximately $40,000 on weed in the decade 1992-2002 
I had much rather taken a $2000 (lets say $4K in todays dollars) vacation twice a year, in retrospect.

Ive only "wasted" money on drugs a few times. Once I got sold fake ecstasy pills, and another time i dropped a roxy 30 into the sink, one time i got sold bunk adderall (idk how that happened, they where adderall 30s, they orange round kind. They did NOTHING. Idk how he made them, but they where fake as fuck.)

thats pretty steep, damn...if you have a good job or are a heavy dealer then it can weigh out..
but i was spending about a grand every two months on various drugs, not bad i suppose. but it was alot of meth, heroin, ghb, ketamine, molly.. so yeah maybe thats bad.
my income is very good at this time so i was able to support myself and my vices. now i am in brasil and tend to spend about 50 usd every two-three days on blow, about 2 grams worth. not bad considering the quality is amazing. going on 4 weeks now
