    Not op but I was smoking weed. I did the math and was spending around $15-20k a year, so I’m 1 day sober now.

      Wow that’s pretty crazy, what does that equate to amount wise on a daily basis?

        good luck on quitting op (and Not op), prob feels like soloing mount Everest with a fisher price hiking kit.

          (Disregard if you have other reasons, but if it’s just financial…)

          Have you tried moderation, because that’s…a lot lol

          I’m a daily user, but for me I don’t vape it (prevents use from being too easy, too accessible) just concentrates out of an e-nail and I generally stick to night time usage because kids and also I gave up driving high many years ago.

          My tracking spreadsheet has my average use of 1 gram every ~2 weeks and an annual spend of a couple hundred

              Ugh same. For me it’s that I can either have weed in my possession and get super high every day, or I can let my stash run out and go cold turkey. Only ever managed like 2 days stashing any THC product away without using it, and I thought about it constantly the whole time.

              But on the bright side, as long as I don’t let myself buy more I can go indefinitely, no problem. I was going on 2 years without it until I visited family in California a few months ago and they offered me some lol

            I feel you. Since I bought myself a Vaporizer my use has devinetively increased. However, its the only way, except edibles, that I can consume weed without coughing my lungs out.

      What’s crazy to me is how much cheaper alcohol is. I’m saving money by sacrificing my insides :3

        Heavily depends on area and usage patterns, I burn a gram of concentrates every 2 weeks and a gram is like $7-10 around here on sale

          This. Especially if you go partying weed is way cheaper, as long as you don’t have an absurdly high tolerance. You can smoke like 0.3g and be high for the whole evening and only spent like 3€ on getting high. If you want to achieve the same with alcohol you would have to spend way more.
