The alternative would be to go on disability, which I would prefer not to do.I dunno where you live, but where I live disability pays you fuck all so the way you use is good in your case, I bet you sleep like a baby after is some. But I personally have known pot heads that smoke so much they dont have food in the house. in truth it is expensive here 10 dollars Canadian a gram.
I wish that were the case. In reality, on my worst nights it's enough to turn a completely sleepless night into one where I only get a couple of hours of sleep. I prefer to use nothing when I can, but it often is not possible.
I haven't bought it by the gram in decades, but $10 USD/CAN sounds about right. A quarter (7 grams) lasts me about 6-8 weeks and is $60 USD.
The prescription alternatives pretty much all have worse side effects, health risks or addiction potential.
Disability pays a tiny fraction of what I make, and I have dependents to take care of, which I cannot do without working. There are certainly people worse off than I, so as long as I'm able, I'll continue to work.
