Purchasing drugs is your prerogative. By all means, get as high as you want to. Just understand that if you have a substantial habit, you're going to burn through money like it's weed—unless you're just rich like that. This infographic, created by Clarity Way, compares the amount of money spent on illegal drugs purchased from the now-defunct Silk Road to that spent buying them on the street. 

Although Silk Road may have made it easy for lazy folks who don't like to venture outside or establish personal connections with their drug dealers, it was still understandably more expensive than purchasing drugs on the street. Chalk it up to the cost of doing business and how far people will go to get high.
