According to my friendly AI assistant...<p>- A quarter gram of meth typically costs around $25. [1]<p>- A meth user consuming a quarter gram of meth daily would spend around $9,125 per year on the drug. [1]<p>It seems like the savings from not buying meth every day would be significantly more than what California is paying... which makes me question why pay at all? I get that additional isn't exactly a logic problem, but needing to get paid $599 to save $9,125 doesn't compute in my head if money is the motivator.<p>[1] <a href="https://addictionblog.org/infographics/the-cost-of-meth-addiction-infographic/" rel="nofollow">https://addictionblog.org/infographics/the-cost-of-meth-addi...</a>
cheap as chips!<p>Cheaper than the cost of all the crime they conmmit and the cost of being sent to prison.<p>£599.00 = about £50 a week. absolute peanuts. 2 grams of meth each week right there.<p>Thats cost of about one week in prison here on Airstrip One<p>imagine if there was a real commitment to help people get off drugs.
