Tell me...

Is spending £50 a fortnight on cannabis excessive? I don't go out, I hardly drink, and I don't really spend any money on myself other than my habit. How much do you all spend on luxuries like cigarettes, alcohol or cannabis?

When did drugs come under the category of 'luxuries'?

I wouldn't call any of those luxuries

If you can afford it, then no it's not excessive.

Can I ask why you smoke cannabis? No judgement, just interested.

Is this money all yours or are there financial responsibilities you have to tend to? Do you have a partner and kids?

Ilovecoleslaw well no, but at least 2 of them are legal...

Luxury drugs? £10 a week on wine.

Yes.

Having lived with a cannabis smoker who spent a similar amount and became more and more anti - social, anxious, paranoid and aggressive while on it.

A big resounding yes.

Biccie

I spend 7.50 per day on cigarettes. I shouldn't but i do

Yet to get an answer

Sorry that was a bit delayed.

Nothing because I work to hard for my money to throw it away

Migraleve surely you spend some of your earnings on something for yourself?

You getting a quarter for that? Seems you smoke quite a lot if so, I'd expect a proper eighth to last a lone smoker 2 weeks .

Why even ask? Are you hard up? Is someone close complaining about your spending habits?

Your post is attention seeking. Bored are you?

Thought cannabis was supposed to 'chill you out'

Perhaps the reason you don't go out is spending so much on drugs that make you want to stay indoors in a cloud of smoke?

Sorry no idea if that is actually a lot to spend if you are that way inclined. I'm bitter about cannabis as I've seen it perpetuate MH problems of family and friends and in some cases change personalities completely. I appreciate the same could be said about alcohol and I have similar feelings towards that to be honest.

Has it been suggested you are spending too much?

How much do you all spend on luxuries like cigarettes, alcohol or cannabis?

Cigarettes: £0 per year
Alcohol: £100-120 per year
Cannabis: £0 per year

I doubt I spend £50 a year on alcohol and nothing at all on cigarettes or cannabis (or any other illegal drugs). Chocolate, ice cream, and stupidly expensive drinks from coffee shops on the other hand, it is probably close to £50 per week!

I spend an inordinate amount on my hair.

Do you hide what you spend on cannabis from others? Do you worry what others think so hide your usage?

Yes to those questions would worry me more than some joints.

Migraleve surely you spend some of your earnings on something for yourself?

Yes of course I do. Lots in fact.

What I don't do is throw it away on drugs, cigarettes or alcohol.

It's not too much if you can afford it. I spend less on alcohol (and don't smoke) at the moment but have two small children so probably only have a pint a week at present.

Don't ask me how much I spend on takeaway though

I don't do luxury drugs. But I do wear Chanel foundation. About £40 every year or two.

Disclaimer .... he's dead now. The brother of mine who died from drug and alcohol addiction, and cannabis psychosis was the first symptom to be diagnosed.

Just sayin.

He was 38.
