I just do NOT get it...

Something I don't quite understand is when someone has the nerve to complain that they are unable to pay their bills, or they are always tight on cash, yet they manage to smoke week on the daily. 

Let me start with the fact that I have never done drugs, or abused prescription medication. I don't really care to be a part of that. I try not to judge those who do make these choices, but it's hard not to judge them when they make it a top priority over other necessities. If you are unable to pay your rent, cell phone bill, car insurance, etc, then don't buy weed all the damn time. 

My favorite quote from pot smokers is "it's not addicting like cigarettes, or cocaine!" The problem is, and what they fail to mention/realize, is that the "High" is addicting. Regardless, I am not here to say what weed is or is not, people get too defensive when others put down their habits. I do however, feel that it is safe to say people who make weed a top priority, when they have other needs, are dumb. Keep things in order, and don't start expensive habits if you cannot maintain a roof over your head at the same time. 

All of that being said, if you are an adult and still live with your parents because you can't afford to live on your own, and you smoke weed, I have ZERO SYMPATHY for your lazy ass. Weed is a crappy excuse for why you cannot get your life together. 

To me it is not worth it to give up other luxuries, like shopping and buying things (that don't disappear in five minutes), to obtain such a nasty habit. 

On one last note, I am not a fan of people who post photos on social media of themselves smoking weed, a picture of their joint, or even tweets saying garbage like "I need some weed/bud/pot etc." 

Technically this substance is illegal. Underage drinking on social media is a no no, so why can't pot smokers figure out. I will be forever stumped on why people make this garbage top priority.

  1. You must be really fun at parties. Seriously though, you didn't need to clarify that you've never smoked weed. It's painfully obvious from your ignorance and lack of self-awareness. Actually makes a lot of sense.

  2. Hey anonymous. Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to see you can read between the lines to understand "in a painfully obvious way" (sorry to pain you!) that I've never smoked weed. To clarify again I'm not personally saying "don't smoke weed" all I'm saying is "let's keep our priorities straight!" I may not know what it's like to waste money on something like this, but I know it's a silly excuse as to why you can't pay your bills. If you're able to keep up your recreation as well as pay your bills on time (and in full!) then I have no issue with it, I just choose not to partake! Thanks again for taking the time to comment!!!
