I am getting sick of seeing so many tokers. There is so much air congestion and they are a big waste of money. Weed makes little to no sense for most people living.
Whenever I see a concert with a haze of pot smoke over it, I think of the giant amount of capital that is being wasted. Weed users typically have utilization rates of less than 10%, which means they are money pits the rest of the time.
Sobriety + job prospects + a lack of having to be home by 4:20 every day is much better financially.
Let's consider the financials behind weed smokership. Here I assume that someone lives near a decently sized (> 1 million) metropolitan area, and smokes 2 hours each day of the week to kill time because of the job they lost by testing positive on a drug test.
Total hours smoking per month: 60 hours
Munchies: $100/month
Bong maintenance: $100/month (including land value of living in your parents basement)
Weed: $400/month (assuming 30 plants per garden, $4 per plant, and 30 joints per plant average)
Cost per hour of smoking: $7.33 (<---I didn't really check this math any more than the OP in the real thread probably did.)
If you have access to weed-sharing services like a hookah, which costs around $9/hour, then why would you own a bong? With internet shopping, home delivery, taxis/Uber, and cheap rolling papers it makes no sense to me.
