50 grand to stop doing drugs.

Take the 50 grand and invest it into a festival. Go to a farm in the mid west. (colorado area). And start a annual festival. They will turn in alot of money and a good time.
 
There are really only two options:

One, pull a massive troll. Hide your usage and stick to RCs and other little-known crap for five years, then take the $50,000, buy a bunch of useless shit, and give it all away at Burning Man. Spend the last of the money on crack and ask her to smoke it with you.

Two, tell her to fuck off.
 
I wouldn't take it, for several reasons:

1. She's "about to be" a big-time lawyer? The law market is REALLY rough right now, and if she isn't even established yet then assuming she'll have the 50 grand to fork over in 5 years is a stretch. What happens if she loses her job and falls on tough times? Do you think she'd live up to it? Would you even want her to if it would put her in financial trouble?

2. It's a really unhealthy relationship to develop with your sister, being paid off for the decisions you would have made that she doesn't like or understand.

3. Even if you follow through on it, it could create distrust and awkwardness between the two of you. This is kind of an extension of #2, I guess, but it's already obvious that she has no trust for you and your decisions; do you really want her suspiciously keeping tabs on everything you do to see if you're living up to your pledge? The best way to kill honesty and trust is to involve lots of money.

I would tell her that what she's "offering" is a very controlling gesture and isn't helpful. You can't "fix" people by throwing money at them to do as you say. Whatever she thinks is wrong with your drug use, understanding and respecting each others' decisions and offering candid advice and criticism will do both of you more good than this bizarre arrangement of hers.
 
Get a job, take your drugs, make your own $50k :)
I dunno. I stared at the reply box for quite some time before replying to this one. It's difficult, really fucking difficult.
What would I do if I were you? Well. I'm poor so that kind of money would really help me with the dreams that I have at the moment. But also. I really fucking love drugs. Oh dear.

Here you go. Prove yourself to your sister by making the money yourself while being the person you want to be. I bet it will feel amazing to earn it all yourself without turning your life into something that you don't want it to be.
I think if I gave up all drugs because someone paid me I would become very depressed and bitter about that person and the world.
 
Now she might be your sister but with something involving a sum of money that big, there's no way I'd trust them to give me it in 5 years time, even if they were my parents or my closest friend. You simply don't know if they'll even *have* that money in 5 years.

Money isn't everything. If you're at school, then work hard for the sake of working hard - not for getting money, and if you like drugs, take them, but enjoy them at the weekends, in your free time, and don't let them get in the way of the other stuff in your life.

Then show your sister that drugs aren't a bad thing, that they changed you from someone who would have taken the 50k and ran, to someone who isn't even going to accept it, and is going to try harder at school and make something of their life anyway. Then when you're earning, that 50k will be yours in no time, and she'll be proud :)
 
yeah, she needs to realize that even if you do drugs, they're a part of who you are. if she's willing to spend 50 grand just to change someone she loves, then tell her to take a good look at herself... (i'd revoke this statement if it was obvious that you were using and it was negatively impacting your life...)

otherwise, tell her to pay you $50 a day or something (i know that's off the mark but i'm too lazy to get a calculator) until it totals 50 grand - that way you'd be sure that you'd get the money .
 
50,000 could pay for a nice chunk of your college education, or allow you to continue your college education if you already have a degree. It could help you pay for rent, or food, or you could put it into your savings account in case you need money to pay medical bills. You could do a lot of good with that money. I think she's making this offer to try to show you that there is a lot more to life than drugs and that you could really move forward and accomplish much more in life if you made some changes.

Of course, the ball is in your court.
 
^ Good points on college education there. I say, if you are gonna do it, since she is a lawyer, set up a contract. You can even have stipulations where you do a UA every couple of months to verify you are following the contract. You want it to be air-tight on both ends, so that she can't back out (and maybe realizes that the contract idea might not be a great one). This could just be something she said in the heat of the moment. Maybe talk it over with her while you are sober?

Maybe take this as a sign to slow down on the drug use (How often do you use, by the way?)
 
I'm not trying be offensive but your sister sounds like a control freak.

I'm quite sure she believes that you will realize in 5 years what a favor she's done to you to help you give up drugs. Or perhaps even that she would've saved your life or something along those lines, i'm sorry.. :(

I just don't believe you'll ever see the 50g's no matter what you do. But these are just my subjective opinions.
 
wether she has the 50 gs is irrelevant to his question cause if by any chance she doesnt have it he can just do drugs again, deciding to except 50 gs if she has it is the question...why would you quit unless she gives you the money.
