How much money do you typically spend every month on herb?

If you're lucky enough to have access to concentrates, you can add that to the price too.

I spend $600 on average per month. I smoke a gram a day, and a gram is $20 around here.

 

Who would assume I was bragging?

I wasn't aware it was a contest. And not all of us can get together $3-400+ at one time. I'm well aware of the savings once you start buying in divisions of ounces instead of by the gram. I don't even buy by the gram every time, so not sure why you'd assume that. I mostly buy 8ths that last me 3 days. That's why I said about a gram a day.

 

Maybe you could just not assume to know a complete strangers situation. It's not my money.

 

Again, you're being ignorant.

A.You don't know me
B. You're acting condescending as hell. Take that shit to Reddit.

 

It's my anti-depressant. It's the only thing that's ever alleviated my depression. No pills have worked. It's prevented me from killing myself numerous times. My dad knows it helps so he used to give me $20 a day to buy a gram. He's not into it and doesn't understand about the savings. He also can't afford to gather up $400 at once for an ounce. He has lots of bills and we don't make much money. I can't just "wait a month and save up". It's not as easy as "having self control". It's a matter of life and death at times.

My Dad is starting to realize the savings though as I explain it to him and I've gotten him to agree to buying 8ths. That's the most I've been able to talk him into.

I receive SSI monthly, and although some would demonize me for spending that money on what to them is just some street drug, it's far less costly than a long-term, in-patient Hospital stay I receive $465/m and my share of that is $100. The rest is supposed to go to food, clothes, and other necessities. Now that my Dad knows about the savings and is seeing it when I show him the bags, I've talked him into giving me a little more so I can get a half.

I don't have control of when and where I get the money, and I can't work the type of jobs I'm qualified for, so even though I'm well aware buying a gram a day is wasting money, it's all I have. If it were my money, I'd buy an ounce at the beginning of the month and it'd last me the whole month probably. But since it's not my money and money is a struggle every week with my family, I have to take it when I can get it. And if you knew me irl, you'd know that taking the $20 and just saving it all month like that is not an option. Don't think that in the 5 years that this has been going on I've never thought about it. It's just simply not feasible.
