Me and my friends would smoke...everyday. Sometimes we'd take some from our relatives who had an excessive amount, sometimes we'd buy.

But now, we're ALL dry. We decided to cut back to only the weekends until we can get back on our feet money wise.


I'm so glad there aren't serious withdraw effects....But damn, this sucks.

It is not the absence of money that sucks, but money itself. Money is that which creates the divide between the rich and the poor, the haves and the have-nots, the affluent and the starving. In a moneyless society, resources would be given primarily to the needy, not the greedy. We have the technological and industrial capability to ensure that everybody on the planet has what they need to be happy and healthy. It is only the unequal distribution of wealth, created by money and the capitalist system it runs, that concentrates this technological-industrial power into the hands of the few and ensures that it will not be used for the equal benefit of all. The abolition of money is an idea whose time has come, and I hope one day we wisen up and try to do something about it.

I get what you're saying, but I don't see it ever happening. Unfortunately we don't live in the utopia we desire. You've got a good heart though!

Dude, without money resources wouldn't be GIVEN to the needy. It would just be a barter system. I wouldn't give away my widgets that I made by my hard work I would simply trade them for some of your types of widgets that I need/cannot make. Money just makes barter easier. You don't have to run around and find someone who will trade your ugly lawn decorations for a car. Instead you can make lawn decorations and sell them for money and then use the money to buy the car. Money makes the barter process simpler.

I have never run out of money or been tested.

Can't get a job until next year :\


And yeah, a moneyless utopia is genious. Too bad we've come too far in this world to just abolish money. You could little by little decrease inflation, but it wouldn't work. We're a buy-sell community. And bartering wouldn't work either. What would you rather do? Trade money for resources, or resources for resources?

We don't NEED money to live. It just makes it so much easier, but we've made it that we have to depend on money for a lot.

Lucky for me I can still get weed when I don't have money.
However UNLUCKY for me my weed is locked in my boyfriends house and I accidently left my house key inside of his house. So I am about to go try and break in because I am going crazy without weed, shit it's been like 3 hours!!! AAHHHH..

It's true we don't live in a utopia. And we never will. But we still don't have any excuse for not trying to get as close as we possibly can. To previous generations, the abolition of slavery, the abolition of absolute monarchy and the abolition of institutionalized sexism would have seemed like radical utopian fantasies. I don't think society is finished progressing just yet; new concepts of justice and new forms of social relations will replace the ones we have now. I think (or at least I hope) that our increasing concern with equality, liberty and brotherhood will continue, and I am merely pointing out one direction that I think would be worth a try at some point in the future.

Unfortunately, that time is not now. Our society is not yet prepared for the abolition of money. Before the foundations of our society can be effectively changed, the people have to be convinced that change is possible and necessary. That is why we need visionaries. There will be more Martin Luther Kings, more Thomas Paines, more Henry David Thoreaus, and more Susan B. Anthonys to inspire future generations to improve society in ways that we in our ancient epoch naïvely deem impossible.
