I've seen DMT go for upward of $200 a gram, which is ludicrously overpriced, but that drug is hyped to high heaven. It's a good drug and it deserves the hype but no way is one gram worth $200 or more. :lol:

Snacks and pot.
Saying it sounds bad but it's just the way it is, I don't make a lot so clothes and the like are a bit out of reach. So I just do coffee and get snack wraps and shit.

Damn I suppose that would take the cake lol I've never looked into Dmt so I had no idea on the price. MDMA is probably the most expensive recreationally used drug their is

>Stone how much do you spend on non-essential stuff in a month?

I get 2 newspapers, I suppose one would do but I don't watch tv so its a cheap luxury. Plus I get dollars off coupons which more than pay for the extra subscription in a year.

I smoke a lot of pot, I need it for medicinal reasons more than kicks. I get it really cheap. I eat dark chocolate which costs a whopping $5 at trader joes for 1/2 kilo. Its good for health too but there may be cheaper ways to get the cocoa. Sometimes I buy junk I don't really need but I've cut back on that. I was paying money for language practice to maintain fluency. Is that a non essential or a good investment?

I'm thinking hard trying to come up with more. The thing is, if I identity something non essential that I don't actually crave then I usually eliminate it eventually. If I do crave something then I try to kick the addiction. I was hooked on pastries, and sweets but kicked it and lost a lot of weight years ago. If anything I should spend more, I deny myself too much. But if I need money for something its never a problem. An interesting coincidence, don't you think?



Stone watches his finance closely.  This is a very positive trait, if most of the poorer Americans would imitate him, they would lift themselves out of poverty for sure.

I think the two of us are quite similar.  I too, hold onto my wallet with both fists.  I very very very rarely spend money, and when I do it's almost on food, which generally doesn't cost very much.  I don't have a cell phone and no car either.  So right there I save on car insurance and the monthly plan fee.  I don't follow fashion as to buy the latest fashion that just came out.  Nowadays almost all of the money I make, I put it towards my condo-buying fund.

p.s.  What language are you trying to learn, can you tell me?  Also, I like dark chocolate too but I can't eat too much of it, trying to lose weight, lol

p.s.s.  I think it's awesome that you don't watch TV.  I don't either.  TV rots and corrupts people's minds, yo

People you consider poor may be happier than the wealthy.
Money is to be spent and nothing else.

It's funny because DMT only gets you high for like a half hour, and the standard "strong dose" is 50mg, so at $200 for a gram that's about $10 for a strong trip. I guess that's not so bad if you know how to use it, especially considering how intense the trip is, but newbies typically waste a few doses figuring out how to smoke it right. I just feel sorry for somebody who ends up spending $40 on a half hour trip.

That involves more math than I care to do tonight.

DMT, MDMA and LSD in no particular order for sure. Even pills get way overpriced for their ready-availability.

All the shitty drugs (heroin, crack, meth) you can dose pretty cheap. Gotta try to keep the fix under budget!

Yea math is something I can not do right now lol alcohol as I mentioned earlier is the second most expensive drug I use but it's hard to say what a dose is. Shit MDMA is up there tho for sure.

That is some serious coin. It's been awhile since I went to a festival (probably 3 or 4 years now.)

I'm too much of a old Jew to wanna throw that kinda money around for festivities. That's allowance for 3.5 months of drinking!

Electric forest is by far the best festive ice been too, but yea the price is getting to be a bit much. Then about another 50 or 60 for gas and stopping for food. And then 200 for my drugs lol fuck it it's close and fun, this will be my last year tho
