i can go through a fifth of regular hard stuff in two days (or less) gin disappears most quickly beer....shoot, definitely depends on what beer it is, but a good session beer i could easily drink a case of in one day if i put my mind to it (i've made 15 packs of strohs, a cheap session beer, disappear in a day with no issue at all) but yeah...i spend way more on alcohol than herb. and i have more expensive taste when it comes to alcohol. i can deal with middies, but i have to find alcohol that either i really like or is cheap enough to not care that its sub par, but still tasty enough to drink (gordons and seagrams gins and vodkas, strohs or pbr for beer, you get the idea) the worst is when i get a bottle of something REALLY good like cabo wabo or some scotch....i intend to pace myself and drink far less. but it doesnt happen.
Careful nesta, that kinda habit is as bad as a coke or heroin habit Chamelian, it's one of the reasons I am cutting back drastically. Weed is amazing, and life-changing while you are high, but once you return to reality . . . I'm just starting to realise it's not worth it. And I notice that the longer I don't do it, the less I want it. 1 month ago I would spend a large amount of my day either doing or thinking about weed and weed related things. Now I go a full day or more without it popping into my head, and when it does, I'm just like, allright, I'll get high, and then what? Am I that unimaginative? Can I really not think of a better place to put my time and money? I have decided I am bigger than that. It's time for me to grow the fuck up.
i'd save alot more money but idk i enjoy weed so it dosen't really bother me. i mean if the money isn't savedi ts probably going ot fast food or stupid shit like that.
cannabis is like one of my hobbies. i enjoy reading about it, experimenting with making oils and budder, smoking it, all the beautiful glass pieces for smoking it, all the strains, learning how to grow and whatnot. i mean you can think about where your money could be better spent with anything, but indulging in something you like and enjoying yourself is better than worrying about what could have been.
well said, I agree. What good is money if u dont spend it on what makes you happy. as long as it doenst seriously interfear with oher aspects of you life.
don't i know it! i just went overboard when i turned 21 and have been having trouble slowing down. for having gotten good and drunk virtually every night of the year, i'm doing pretty well now that i'm in school full time and living in a dorm. it will be good for me, and i'm doing good with decreasing my drinking and breaking the habit, but its still arduous work. i've only thrown up once in the three weeks i've been here, compared to 4 days out of the week minimum.... these days i'm still drinking, but less often and getting better and better as time goes on. i'm not allowed to bring alcohol back to my room, but i do occasionally and i'm not loud and dont have a roommate so its not difficult to get away with it. these days i drink...probably 4 nights a week or so. compared to all but 4 nights in a year, i think thats some mighty fine progress! still, money runs out quick when you're unemployed and drinking. plus i have school to focus my mind on, and to be honest i'm no dummy and i have simply been drunk so much for so long because i was doing little else than drinking, smoking, and working. so bit by bit i'm coming along, and i dont have withdrawals (except psychologically just craving a drink....no delirium tremens or anything) i just need something better to put my mind to and spend my time on, and i dont expect to stop drinking at the drop of a hat. it will take time, and i recognize the issue and the progress, and i admit that being a saturday night with no classes tomorrow i did make the hike to the liquor store.... but its slow work. i'm getting there, and thank you for the concern honestly, when i say i'm no dummy...well, i recognize its an understatement but i hate to say it any other way as nobody likes hubris. i think part of the reason i've been drinking so much in the past is to essentially wage war with my intellect, to dumb me down. it's been relatively effective. these past few years i was going to school VERY part time (often just one class per quarter) at a community college and working entry-level food service jobs. past three levels at starbucks were a nice change of pace, but still not stimulating. i felt out of place. i'm socially awkward, and there are few people i can relate to. i think all of this has contributed to my drinking habit. now i'm in a good school full time with no job and nothing to devote myself to other than academics and meeting new people, and alcohol will generally be a hindrance. i look forward to changing my ways, but dont want to rush it. i'm doing well, and getting better bit by bit i have to relearn how to use my mind though. i've gone so long abusing it and struggling to shut it down....learning to do that was tough enough and not very effective. now i need to learn how to turn it back on and learn to be reasonably intelligent again....it will take time to get back into study mode. but i am happy and optimistic
