am 26 now, starting using at 18.
Although I have smoked almost every day for the past eight years, I will calculate on average a gram a day of good weed for three years. Lowballing the price a little to $15 a gram comes out to $16,425 for three years.
Now I sold mainly to support my habit, and obviously got it at cheaper prices than that. Then again, I have to factor in the three times I have been arrested for marijuana and the money spent on that.
Not to mention the years I spent eating a lot of hydrocodone, xanax, and somas. Although I did suppliment that with bustin Dr. scripts and other various means.
Then the roughly $1k I had stolen from my house).
Not to mention the fact that I was a shitty alcoholic who chose to continue drinking even when it meant eating NOTHING but ramen noodles for months at a time.
I think I feel sick... ;-)
Oh well, live and learn. In the end who knows if I have lost money or gained money from this, I do know I have NOTHING to show for it at this point in my life. Except my experiences and lessons learned, which are quite literally invaluable.
At this point I smoke an oz of regular weed and maybe a gram of good a month. Rougly $1k a year. Really need to cut it back even more, but fuck I love it.
