How is the current economy affecting YOUR drug use?

Forcibly reducing my use.

I think force is the worst way anyone can stop drugs, even if they haven't got a physical habit.
I am not deciding to reduce, or stop, but I feel like I am being reduced some stuff, and being stopped others.

I guess my body is benefiting in some ways, it must be.
 
I've cut down on my weed use, cause to me it was just something to have. It's not one of my favorite drugs. I buy a bit at the beginning of the week and that will last me each week sometimes longer. But that's not due to the current economy.

I'm more of an opiate, benzo person. My benzo's are prescribed so I'm good there, and my opiates I always manage to rummage some up. If you want it bad enough you will find it, trust me... even if you have to hop in a car and head to the next town over, you'll get it. Same if you don't have the money to keep up your habit, you'll def find the money somehow, if you don't want to then you will go without and have shitty withdrawals. Unless that is your point cause you are flat out quitting.
 
I cant wait to get my tax return :)

However I AM going to be saving most of it..........
....

anyway.. i'm broke as fuck but i still get high every day (parents get high as well as every one of my neighbors :D)
 
I think drug sales will be steady or increase maybe. People, during harder times, find a release in drugs.
 
I am not sure on the whole drug market or anything....but I have definitely been trying to cut back on my purchases and make the shit I buy last longer. But that's just me.
 
I've always been pretty tight with my $$ (what little I have) but addiction always wins the battle with logic. Luckily you can always skip a meal to buy that fat can of lager.

The Economy has finally hit me too tho, I just got cut 20% for 4 months, with the future profoundly uncertain.
Semi-related, I'm going through a bit of a personality/confidence crisis; being cautious & smart hasn't made me happy, so its time to burn the cash reserves & braincells!

I'm more than sick of my staple alcohol and my old fav. cannabis is no longer conveniently obtainable, so its on to the big city and all its alluring felonious substances.

Thankfully I have family that isn't upside-down like me.
I pride myself on profound self-sufficiency, but @ the back of my mind I'm realizing I could blow it all & still have a backup.
So caution and American alcoholism be damned; I'm putting my underemployment to good use!
 
^^ you are so right but every time i buy i tend to use it all in that same night.
My mom is watching tv in her room i go to the bathroom and roll one up.
30 mins later the same thing
Some times i know i cant get higher but i smoke anyway.
That's a shitty habit to me.
 
I have pretty much cut out opiates, although they weren't too much of a problem, just an occassional thing, once a week or every two weeks I'd grab like two or three morphines. But now I cannot afford them. I still smoke weed about every other day and drink alcohol occassionally.

this is all I can afford and still pay for bills and college tuition.

you can bet I miss my opiates but I'm hoping this will bring my tolerance back down so when I have a good cash flow I can just grab a bunch again and get a real nod on
 
I use more drugs these days and use it off of my credit. The news about the economy is just too depressing to hear and I need drugs to mask the feeling about how crappy our economy. I've greatly cut back on my other spends and allocateed more resouces towards buying drugs.

The only affect this recession has had on me (I'm 17, haha) is that my eternally skint father has been spending fat stimulus cheques on copious amounts of bud and throwing a substantial amount my way.
 
I quit my job about 3 months ago and have just been living off my savings. I havnt spent too much surprisinly even though I get high every day. A bundle usually lasts me around 5 days so maybe that's why.
 
I'm throwing in my job in four weeks, buy a ticket to the tropics where i'll spend a large portion on MDMA powder, LSD and Meth . . . Fuck the recession i'm young and stupid!

Just 32 more sleeps <3
 
changes in the economy have absolutely shit to do with the black market (which will always be strong, and when people face hard times many turn to hard drugs so its probably running double time).

Also I can tell you two things that didn't recede along with the recession are my cravings and my withdrawals. I'm prettty sure that goes for everyone else here that uses drugs ;)
 
I too have a vegetable garden with pretty flowers in it ;)

As a waitress, I'm making probably $200 less a month than I was pre-recession. I just work more hours if I can, spend less on food, go out less.... drugs don't get cut so much- but I'm starting to trade what I have for what I want so no money lost in the deal.
 
I can't find a job anywhere, so I have to mooch off people when I wanna smoke weed. It's not affecting it that badly, I just wish I had money for other stuff like food and stuff for my aquarium.
 
Yea, no shortage with me. I don't think drugs are truly that expensive unless you are addicted to coke or smoke LARGE amounts of weed.

Everything else is pretty cheap, well priced, product.
