At the peak of my own usage, I smoked around an ounce every 3 days while (pretending to be) working from home. $40/eighth + taxes a pretty average price in the Bay Area, so that works out to almost exactly $100/day.

That's pretty extreme, even for heavy smokers, but far from impossible.

An OZ every 3 days is pretty insane I'm gonna be honest. You must've been rolling everything to go through that. Using pieces helps a lot. Hope you're doing well
I can't even roll a joint. Just bong rips all day.

And yeah, definitely not a sustainable or healthy habit...I'm ok now, but my career took a permanent hit. Oh well.

I've seen billboards in other states advertising $5 eighths; probably not the same quality but it's not necessarily as expensive as you make it out to be.
Yeah, I wasn't spending $100/day because I'd buy cheap weed in bulk, look for deals and sales, etc. But if you buy 'irresonsibly' and just pick up like an average eighth from a dispensary, it can be pricey.

I realize I'm being pretty pedantic here, you're right that spend $100/day requires massive usage plus buying moderately expensive weed. But it's not, technically, impossible.
