I was just wondering about this and would be very appreciative and interested in your answers:

1.How do you get money that supports your drug use? (i.e. a good job, theft, prostitution, trust fund. inheritance, dealing/selling, etc...)

2. How does this method of supporting your drug use hold up? Will it work in the longterm, or will you end up homeless or very poor?

Thank you, and I am sorry if this offends anyone as I know money can be a sensitive private subject. I am not passing judgment on anyone, just curious.
 
myself an opiate addict (mostly in pill form):

1. I support my drug use usually by collecting money from fellow addicts when I go to my dealer to get the wholesale prices and get more pills for less money. Than I give those who gave me money their pills and keep the extra.

I also work but try not to cut into my bill-money (cellphone,rent,internet,car) by spending that money on drugs. I spend an average of 300 dollars of my worked for money on drugs a week and get the rest by hustling other people (not ripping off, just overcharging)

2. I don't know if this is a very stable method of acquiring funds for drugs, but it has worked for me for almost four years. Also a 300 dollar a week habit isn't that much compared to many addicts I know.
 
I'm sure you're going to get multiple replies from people that deal, steal or sell their bodies for drugs. As for the long term sustainablity, you can probably come to an accurate conclusion without someone else having to tell you.
 
I got free health insurance because I have Leukemia. so I get my morphine (90# 30mg CR Morphine, and 120# 30mg IR Morphine), 60# 2mg Diazepams (with 3 refills, so 4 bottles total), and 60# 5mg Marinol all for free.

and when I run out of my pain meds, if I'm in bad withdrawals, I know people that can help me out. I'm not really comfortorable saying how I know them, or how they help me out though.
 
yeah I realize that asking for detailed info on how someone breaks the law might be taboo on this forum. Sorry if I offended you sid3 I was just curious.
 
my prescriptions only cost $10 for IR or ER medications. Its $25 for some certain brand name meds like Kadian or Avinza and i havent bought drugs from a "dealer" in many many months--when i used to (back in the day lol) it was money from working, or saved up money from other stuff


Lord: Im really sorry to hear that your life has been so bad. My life was really bad up through August but luckily I was able to clean myself up in time for school and am currently a successful student. I really hope you get the opportunity to shape up your life man

Opiates-I get for free my GF's mom has a huge script.

Weed-Well a wise man once said "Money doesn't grow on trees, it grows on weeds"

Meth-I choose to exercise my rights under the fith amendment of the US constitution.

Everything else-Trade mostly

I have lots of potential too, both a normal school and a gifted class waiting for me, LOTS of people care about me and my success. I'm just too paranoid to do anything anymore... and hate people too much, and all the rest.
I deleted my post because who gives a shit if I go to jail, but the people I mentioned must be protected.
 
jail sucks man, I hope you don't end up going. I don't know the story though. but I spent a month in county in '07 and I could not fucking stand it. at one point I even told my mom I was gonna hang myself with my sheet, which we both obviously knew I wasn't gonna do because that didn't help her get me out.

Maybe I'll regret thinking that once I'm a bit less depressed. Anyway, this WILL be my last post in this thread because I completely derailed another thread... don't want to have that happen again.

With the money I get from my job?

I've never had to plan for it, I've just bought what I've wanted when I had cash.

Then again, I've never been in an addiction, so that may be why I have difficulty following what you're asking.
 
good job for me and I'm a light drugs customer (only benzos (many types) , codeine, tramadol,... ) no expensive high level drugs has coke or hero

I thought the same thing too, until I went up and read his post.

he collects others money, and keeps the extra pills for himself. thats what every middleman does. but if he is charging a little more, then thats not right.

ask them for gas money, and a button/bag whatever you get for making the trip and risking getting arrested. thats what I used to do. that way you get the button they owed you for hooking them up, and you get to keep the extras, which is usually like 5 bags extra for the the first nice big round number (no prices allowed on here, so figure it out).

When I was using meth regularly I supported my habit mainly through prostitution, dealing, and eventually manufacturing. I've never been able to hold down a "proper" job and I doubt I'll be able to in the forseeable future. Those methods held up quite well, but of course I was always at risk of getting busted. I quit meth a couple of months ago, but I've had the occasional slip-up since then, which I paid for with my own money (I'm no longer dealing or selling my body for it). Benzos are another drug I'm addicted to, but I get those prescribed from my doctor and my country's government-funded healthcare pays for that.
