My tolerance for mary jane...

If they didn't smoke weed, maybe that extra $5k of post-tax money per year would go into something like assets or paying off debt. Smokers, gamblers, and alcoholics go into that same category - they work incredibly hard to get money then they have nothing to show for it.

except good times and memories...wooo!

Meh, I'd rather live well than die rich...

Now, of course there's a middle ground. But I'm 28, married, have a house plus a rent income, stopped casual drinking and cut out eating at restaurants.. We go to the movie theater monthly now instead of weekly since, frankly, reruns are mighty entertaining under the influence.. I also stopped seeing a shrink (social anxiety disorder), stopped taking meds, stopped smoking cigarettes.. Stopped spending money on video games (pot means you don't mind waiting for that $80 game to get to the value bin, since tetris is mind blowingly fun)... And feel like my quality of life is just fine.

But, you're right - $5,200 extra a year is nice to have.. I should consider growing

Really not true, unfortunately I have more hard drug experience than I should. I've seen plaster sold as crack, as well as chunks of soap. Straight baking soda sold as powder coke, and the person still injected it hoping there were traces of real coke in it.

Heroin (my poison) is worse because of it's unique coloration, it can be mocha brown powder to very very light tan so there are more opportunities to fake out. Tiny amounts of heroin mixed with crushed up xanax, brown sugar, coffee creamer. The worst (or best depends on how you look at it) is getting "dope" that is Fentanyl. I OD'd because of a Fentanyl bag and I was really experienced.

Bottom line you are taking a risk with hard drugs, going IV, it comes with the territory. I mean you buy a bag of powder from a gang member poor it in water and shoot it in your arm, assuming it is what he said it was... not my brightest moments. Thats why you find Your Man and if his bags are good and he's legit to cling to him like the fuckin plague.

Edit: At this point is is largely accepted that Ecstasy pills are going to contain more Meth than MDMA. Good pills just depend on what the ratio is. Pure MDMA is still available in the form of straight crystals called Molly.

Holy shit dude, glad you've been clean for 6 weeks. Keep it up! I could never imagine doing something that would make me physically dependent on it. I only smoke pot, drink alcohol ONLY occasionally and only very little (no more than a drink) and take caffeine tablets during finals (very controlled dosages otherwise I jitter and can't concentrate). Drinking coffee for some reason makes me very sick. The only drugs I'd ever consider doing are psychedelics and only when I'm stable in life and especially mentally. Also I wouldn't do any drugs where I can't confirm it's origins i.e. I'd grow it myself. I grow my own pot and I love it. I've got seeds of peyote germinating that someday (20+ years) will be mature enough for use.
