I remember all of the money I wasted buying alcohol in college. On the one hand I had fun with my friends while drinking, but that money could have been better spent on textbooks or tuition. Now I have student debt and memories of cash that disappeared from my hands as fast as it got there. Nowadays I couldn’t afford alcohol if I wanted to. Plus it’s probably a good thing as well, as there are a lot of alcoholics in my family and I just easily could have become one myself. However, I am a regular user of cannabis. I guess I can’t say that much about people who drink when I use cannabis recreationally and medically. And on top of it, my cannabis use is not cheap. It’s a lot of money sometimes, especially when I want to get good products that actually work. Some cannabis flower products are inexpensive but really ineffective at treating my medical ailments. I have headaches and insomnia on a daily basis, so I need good cannabis Indica products if I want medical relief. But at the same time, I have to figure out how to budget for these purchases. Better cannabis flower products means I have to spend more money on the same amount of weed. If people consume a lot of cannabis through smoking joints or smoking blunts, it’s going to be hard for them to buy high quality cannabis each time. I have a weed budget that’s separate from my food budget. Lately I’ve been trying to knock down my weed budget.
