Idk what planet you're living on but every smoker I know spends closer to 300 a month on weed than 300 a year. Unless youre smoking like a single puff on a 1 hitter once a day, or unless you are getting insane deals on ganj, this makes absolutely no sense to me. 100 in a month on alcohol seems about right if youre an alcoholic (or if you're buying your drinks at a bar)

Concentrates are really great, and cost effective if you're a moderate consumer (even daily).

The store near me sells 2 gram disposable vapes for $30 after taxes. Those last me two months or so if I'm only using them, so I could actually get my cost down more if I gave up flower. My alcohol costs were admittedly a lot of $3 a can craft beer which definitely adds up fast.

Tolerances vary wildly when it comes to weed. I know people who need literally 10x my "I want to be very high" dose to get sorta-high. Weed's expensive for them, but very cheap for me. I probably spend $400ish per year on it and have some almost daily (and our weed prices are nearly double what states with better markets are—ours was deliberately designed to allow political insiders to rent-seek). > 100 in a month on alcohol seems about right if youre an alcoholic (or if you're buying your drinks at a bar) You can hit $100/month fast without having that high an intake or buying like you're royalty. Good sipping liquor's hard to come by under $50/750ml, so, 50ml/day and you're probably over $100/month. The wine market's real hit-or-miss (and mostly miss) under $15/bottle (in the US) and a lot of what one might wish to experience, flavor-wise, barely exists at all under $20/bottle. Good beer has been moving toward four-packs priced well in the teens of dollars, single 12-ouncers at $3-7, and $15+ bombers, over the last few years. Of course if you just want to get hammered and don't care what it tastes like, $100 will get you really far, that's true.

I'm happy that there's someone out there who isn't particularly experienced with alcoholism, genuinely, but your figures are very, very off $100 a month on alcohol is like, 5-6 low tier cases of beer. That's just 5-6 beers a day. That's alcoholism to be sure, but the degeneracy goes way, way further. If you work at a liquor store, you'll see the grandma who comes in 3x a week to buy a cheap plastic handle of vodka. Or the guy who buys a 12 pack and two shooters, every single day. Or the new mom who goes from buying 2 bottles of wine a week to 10.

  Depends on what youre buying, and how raging of an alcoholic you are. I probably spend around 100 a month and I would be clinically considered an alcoholic.

In my town craft 4 packs of beer cost 15 dollars, or about 4 dollars a beer. I have 1 a night, which easily brings my cost over 100 a month. I don’t consider myself an alcoholic.
