Can you afford the drugs you do?

   I can't. It's well out of my budget, I think that's true for a lot of us here. Normally for this reason, I try to keep my use in check. I've slipped in the last month or so, but before then I was going steady with phenibut, one day on, three days off. A 20 dollar jar could, has, was, is, are, do be lasting me well over a month. I've had my current 100g jar for like two now, i forget how much it cost. I always feel I need SOMETHING though, and usually that something is cheaper in a bigger box, and abuseable, so I'll abuse it of course. I don't think I'd be okay with using how much I want to use unless I was making at least 2k a month. It's not much. Spouts of alcoholic binges, weed for night time, opiates occasionally, I'm no coke addict.
   
   I dunno, the thought just occurred to me. Drugs are expensive.

   yeah, one of the reasons I use them at all is so that I actually CAN function at work without losing my mind

   How would one do the drugs they do if they couldn't afford to?

   Well, there's a big difference between being *able to* and being able to *afford to.*

   What I'm saying is, if you have drugs to do, you inherently were able to afford them, otherwise you wouldn't have them.

   What he means by "afford to" is being able buy and consume your drugs without sacrificing lifestyle and/or basic needs and/or going into debt.

   This. The only drug I buy in any real volume is alcohol and it's cheap as dirt (I could buy enough to kill me for like $20, I could stay drunk every waking hour for about a week for $100 and still be able to function, and that's not even buying the real bottom shelf shit). I honestly couldn't drink myself into a bad financial situation if I tried.
   
   Weed's also cheap and I don't smoke much, I'm very cautious with stimulant dependency so my use is very affordable, and everything else is a once in awhile thing and in small volumes.
   
   Drugs are pretty cheap on the whole.

    That's still 400 a month, I think for most here that's a rather big expense.

    my addiction runs me 360 a month. I manage. The only reason I had to deal with any WDs is because fuck UPS and fuck USPS not running 7 days a week. Thank god someone knows a pretty straight heroin dealer around here who doesn't fuck around, fronts, and is always where he says hes gonna be.

    Another $15 today. $15 for 2L of beer seems high to me.

    To be fair, since my injuries, I feel the same way- to need something- though I am very particular. I want medication that eases the pain, that I can function on, and not be a space cadet. I don't like being out of control or unable to do things. This is why opiates are my drug of choice and I, for the most part, avoid other drugs. Lately, to help with the wds I've been in I've ate a shitload of somas, some kpins, and during the drive here are a bunch of adderall to stay awake- but that is out of the norm for me. Once my medicine comes, I won't be touching that shit with a ten foot pole- I don't like how it makes me feel or think, but it has helped somewhat for wds. I don't even smoke a lot of pot very often, if I have it it's usually for someone else.
