Okay, let's go with $80 a month. We'll assume that the price of marijuana has increased at a typical price rate of 3.5 percent per year, and that instead of spending the money on that, he had started an Individual Retirement Account. With tax-free returns, and compounding at 7 percent per year under the assumption that he was going with a solid conservative stock fund, his marijuana money would be $40,162.96 today if he had invested it.

Hopefully that will help him shake the habit.

Figure it for me. I used to go through about a quarter pound every 2 weeks. :D

a quarter cost $100 if you're smokin the good shit.

but that lasts about a month.


hmmm...should I get some weed...or pay my cable bill?

(one is just no good without the other)

OK. You take the money, I'll take the pot. $40 grand ain't much when spread over a lifetime. Who knows how much I've saved in stress related doctor bills, medication and such.

How many years? You may have smoked away a mortgage.

If you want $40k worth, you'll have to see Nate Newton.

And you have to figure in all the time you spent looking for your lost cats.

paying for weed is dumb. You gotta get enough to support your habit and enough to flip it and make money.

lol

Too bad dandelions don't get you high.

I could make a fortune.

Or - what if we found out that it was really the rolling papers that got you high.

I guess that would screw up a lot of paychecks for those who earn their living from MJ being illegal.

We'll just leave it as is, I guess.....

You don't have to look for them if it's raining. I learned that on Chiefs Planet.

I don't know. I was usually getting a half-pound at a time, selling a qp at $25 an eighth and smoking the rest...

25? was this in 1993?

That's a profound point. I wonder if anyone has ever tested that.

I can figure it out, but I need to know your tax bracket so I can figure out the taxes that you paid on it.
