![]() I've always found it interesting how weed helps keep people locked into bad patterns and circumstances.
I know a bis*xual young woman with 3 kids making $9 an hour at a grocery store. No car, lives on her sister's couch and every day she's smoking weed on snapchat still in her work uniform. *One hater's phone call away from being unemployed. My point is the money she's spending on weed could be spent towards trying to better her situation in some shape form or fashion. How do people get locked into this patterns and living conditions. People live terribly all thru the year and then they get that income tax check and they can either make an upward move with it or they can blow it all on bs until the next year comes around and they have the same choices. Damn... There are so many people living like this I understand if you don't really want sh*t, but you gotta want better for your kids. |

I worked with a 40 something year old man that been washing dishes for $12 an hour for almost 14 years. He don't do any drugs. He just don't have the want to do better.
I know people that drink liquor and don't have jobs at all. Not looking to get one either Point is you can find examples to fit any situation. That doesn't mean it's the same for everybody |

Damn OP you lost. If she don't want better that's on her not drugs. Plus I don't know that women's life. I was very functional smoking. I'm ex smoker literally on because the job I want does randoms. It's unconstitutional if you ask me. Way too many successful people smoke. I met people that don't do any drugs and are in that lady same situation.
P.S. drugs aren't for everybody |

Don't know her background so I'm not going to say it was how she was raised.
...but your inability to see past your tomorrows-self is the issue, sometimes people are so blinded by the "now" that they just can't. She needs to surround herself with successful people, or people who have been in her situation and were able to get out of their own way to do better for themselves and their family. I feel like she's in her comfortable(not good) place in her life that always her to minimize her responsibility and allows her to stay where she is today. Weed to her is a vice that she uses to numb herself from reality(maybe maybe not) I smoke weed and dont lack motivation at all (another topic). I wanted to start a business and surrounded myself with successful people, joined groups, and set small goals that led to accomplishing bigger ones. |

I love to blow, but because of my job I don’t. Not that they random test, but they would if there was an injury and it’s not a risk I’m taking since I have a son now. I say it all the time… when I smoke bud im useless lol. Sometimes I’ll want to do sh*t, but it’s like 75/25. Still wish I could smoke though

Weed keeps you locked in a down cycle... You WILL never pull yourself up out of the gutter and make something of yourself puffing blunts 3-5 times a week it ain't happening. Weed tells you that everything is OK and that things aren't that bad. Add on top of that the money spent on it. This post is for career minded people. | |

You have a better job now than you had before... You realized at some point that the weed was going to reduce your earnings potential... This chick work at a grocery store deli... Literal minimum wage type job... Coming up with a couple hours worth of pay to get a bag of weed to smoke on... She can't apply for anything better BECAUSE SHE'D FAIL A DRUG TEST... I'm talking about how people get stuck on a cycle of fu*kery and substandard living and how weed can keep you locked into that cycle | |

You're right it's really a failure of people being able to look into their future and see what's in line for them. Figuring out where there trajectory is. | |
