Know folks who spend 500+/month on weed and then can't afford to live. Just because they don't go trainspotting doesn't mean it isn't as fucked.
True
Because they are addicts with money or are they escaping bigger issues? Genuinely curious! (Not challenging you)
Dunno. Got cut out because didn't approve of lighting up every 30m.
Yeah, but that's usually escapism. It's not the weed that puts them in a bad spot. They probably need to fix other parts of their life. I know of folks who ignore health and financial responsibility to play video games too. I wouldn't blame the video games though.
We agree. Only that one German kid who hates keyboards went trainspotting. People can peacefully play games into unemployment and homelessness same way they can smoke themselves into it.
