scary realization
    #19376810 - 01/06/14 11:08 AM (10 years, 25 days ago)

Just did the math, and I spent over $10,000 on cannabis alone. And tack on another five grand for other substances. Wonder where I would be if I had all that money saved up...

I think I need to reexamine my priorities and clean up my act... I am a sucker for altered states of consciousness, but I need to take a break. Integrate the past year of experiences, from a completely sober mindset. Spend more time writing and formulating coherent thoughts and ideas out of the scrambled fragments swirling through my head.

Damn 10k? That's a lot money. How much do you smoke per week? How long have you been smoking?

yeah.  but what would you have done with that instead?


andits not like you would just get $15K if you didnt do drugs.  thats $30/wk over the course of a decade.  would you save that money instead?  probably not.  odds are, if you didnt do drugs, you'd just have gone to a lot mroe happy hours, concerts, movies, etc.

Why does it matter? If you don't make money to spend it on good times what's the point? If you like drugs, buy drugs.

The way I look at it, I invested in an education of some sorts. I went out met a ton of people from all different types of background with only one thing in common. Get to see some perspective. And to be honest it seems like its paying off.

I find it best not to dwell on such things.


I used to have a nasty 80$ per day opiate habbit. For a year, with lighter use before that. Ofc the only way to manage a habbit like that is to be in that world, in all of its facilities, so without the habbit i wouldnt have been doing what i was doing in order to make that much in the first place..if you know what i mean.

If i hadnt been using but was still doing everything else, that would have been about 30000$ in my pocket. In just this past year


Add in about 500 per month(averaged) on pot for the entire time ive been smoking, so 6 years. Take into account that i started growing so i got 3 months per year for 3 years of smoking my own, nearly free, product.



Lets just call it 60 months for easy math. 30000$. I could easily buy a decent house around here for that.


This doesnt count the 2 years where my ex wife was taking about 25 bars per day, and me about 10. Thats 70$ per day my cost, 105$ if i were to have sold them.  This also doesnt account for off and on hydrocodone use since 6 years ago, climaxing at about 15 per day for 2 years with my ex wife. 45$ per day my cost, 60$ if sold.

Lets add in 30k for court and probation fees that were a direct result of my possession of drugs. Not to mention the future income lost because of my criminal record.



All of this adds up to easily over $130k over the past 5 years. Thats a paid off house and car, and bills and food covered for 3 or 5 years, all off of what has gone into my body.

Then again, if i wasnt using drugs, then i would not have been involved in the activities associated with those drugs that provided me the income to buy and use them. Maybe if i hadnt been using drugs i would have gotten a decent job and brought in the same if not more money, legally so that i would actually have some thing to show for it...besides a record and half fried brain.

If i could go back in time i would go back to that night i got frustrated enough to try that first joint, and beat the shit out of myself until my younger self was too injured to use :feelsbadman:

the way i see it, drugs have changed the way i think, made me make/meet certain friends, gave me awesome life experieces that i wouldnt have experienced otherwise. im gonna look back at my life in 30 years and know that i lived my life to the fullest when i had the chance

the only bad thing about it is that i wish i had that money back for more practical things, but i dont regret doing one drug

without drugs i never woulda got into a music/festival scene. and i love that life

That $10,000 was only in 2013 not my entire life, as well as the $5,000 on other substances. I smoke probably half an ounce or more a week. I have been trying to cut back recently. I don't even want to start to think of how much that has been since I started doing drugs. I could probably have bought a house by now if I had saved it all and been straight edge. Haha
