    Lots of really good advice in this thread and some really funny replies to boot!

    My addition to those nuggets would be this: Get a night job. I have delivered pizza for years to make extra money. I have found that it goes farther than just "extra money". I don't know how old you are, but when I was in my twenties, I looked at the night I delivered as doubling the money I made because as well as making a bit of bank, I was not out spending money, and I also got to eat. I also made pretty good money with near zero responsibility....

    Oh the joys of drinking and smoking, and if you can do it while trying to double your money at the local pool hall, you.... are on the road to success!

    Who can afford a doctor?! Downtown. Back alley. Pill Bill. I also hear he plays pool and will let you shoot games for free pills... Tell him t00nces2 sent you.

    Yeah, tell her that. Tell her that while you drink your booze and smoke your butts. Nothing worse than having carping, nagging ball and chain around while you are trying to get your head together drinking and smoking and twisting a spleef.

    Much as anything ... it's a crutch. You'll be better off if you can learn how to deal with the things that life throws at you without the aid of crutches.

    It's likely that you've got bill collectors calling if you've got financial stress. In fact ... they may be the biggest reason why you're feeling stressed. It's their job to motivate you to pay the bill and some are very good at it.

    Try not to talk with them any more than you have to.

    Talk is cheap ... action is precious !

    Okay, the weed thingy... Speaking from experience, and the experience of others.... Pot has a side effect called "the 'noids". Doesn't happen all the time, but it can happen anytime, and seems to happen more if you are worried. You smoke and you get paranoid, and not just a little paranoid. You start to worry to the point you start questioning your entire life. The 'noids can really become a black hole and the paranoia can keep eating away at your mind. If you are not a pot smoker now and know the pitfalls, I would not recommend taking it up for help on this problem (I actually would not recommend pot for "solving" any problem. It will help about as much as the booze and cigs.).

    Having been quit the...ah...enjoyer back in the day, I will have to say...never had that happen, an lord knows I had a ton of stress back then an caused a bunch. Nor have I ever met anyone who has had such.

    Pot for some folks COULD cause mental issues. My experience it's folks who are at risk already for such things. I have a friend who is schizophrenic, I could blame it on the pot but I'm sure it was the fault of both pot an the stress he was under when he got diagnosed. I have no statistics to back it up, but I would bet money the majority of people who smoke, use edibles have no issues with it.

    I have another buddy who can't even smell it. When he was younger someone gave him laced pot. Ever since he will pretty much throw up. I tested the theory once, it's true. LOL he thought it was funny to after he was done cussing up a storm. lol.

    To each their own though I say. I'd rather risk being paranoid, then become a addict to opiates, or any other pill for that matter.

    "I'd rather risk being paranoid, then become a addict to opiates, or any other pill for that matter."


    Just to be clear, you're admitting to being paranoid about opiates?
