EXHAUSTED but also wish I was smarter with my teenage money instead of blowing it on weed, accessories for my car, and name brand clothing.

The power of the dollar back then was amazing, I don't see half as many teens working bc what they make "isn't worth it" or something these days

Those things brought you joy at the time and your happiness was equally important.

It's cheaper to grow it, but I also buy it regularly as well...

Eh, even in legal states, you still need room and the ability to deal with the odor.

Im in a non legal state and grow in stealth. Its not that hard to do. There's decades of forums of dedicated stealth cab builds. I supply myself with a hidden compartment in an aquarium stand for mother and veg, and a locked deep freezer for flower.

That’s great, but I have a son and a live in mother in law. I’d love to put a grow tent in a closet, but I don’t have a closet to dedicate to that. I go through an eight a month, so buying is the practical choice for me.

An eighth a month?

Oh man, I'm such a burnout...

Dry herb vape. I get  a very nice high from .1 grams of 25-30% flower. An eighth gives me enough flower to last a month and cover the margin of error while weighing it out

I live in WA and it's honestly just not worth it to grow. Within the last couple years the stores in Seattle have gotten cutthroat and 3.5 of good flower is like $20, great flower for $25.

Could have had over 3 million per 1k invested into like 20 different stocks

I would gladly sacrifice some of that joy for early retirement.

Hard disagree. That's just promoting instant validation.

I spent all my 20s sewing patches into my jeans and using the library to answer emails. Now I have no debt and I'm about to buy a house worth 7 figures.

Choices matter. Sacrifice pays off.

I bought weed and own a 7 figure house too.
