Wow dude.. you lack perspective.
You have $400 to blow on a drug binge and begged people for money.
Ridiculous. Under any circumstance. You should give people their money back before shooting up $400 worth of smack.

Uh, yeah, through a guy who spends a lot on apparently addicting drugs.
I'm glad it worked out, but come on.

Yeah uh, $400 for a week of oxy is a shit load of oxy, especially when he's mentioned that he gets crazy discounts from his sellers.
How many pills is that?
Edit 500mg lol Jesus dude you should stop

Lol, I feel bad when I spend $20 a week on beer.
Um, a fucking lot.
In Georgia at least the going rate is $1 a milligram, and that rate is high compared to most places.
Plus, virtually any dealer is going to cut you a better deal if you are spending $400 in one go.
So, at the very, very least, 400 mg.
But in reality, probably twice that.

not cool i know
The main point here is ami can spend his money on what he wants.
However, why drop the "thanks for the donations" and "I dropped 4 hundred dollars on [insert item here]" in the same thread. Who cares if the item was drugs or not. If it's unrelated why even bring it up?

i've been begging for over 5 years.
You do, bro. Seriously.
If it were any of these things the detractors wouldn't be saying anything about it or at least the uproar wouldn't be as large. People here on GAF should not feel like they own any part of what you are and are not able to do with your life. However, when we see someone spiraling we help.
Just like we did with your mom.
whoa whoa whoa
i did not drop that revelation in the plea for help topic. I dropped that "bombshell" in the PoliGAF topic. That must be where you confusion is coming from.

bad gameplay lol
Because there was another thread accusing him of using all the donation money on drugs. It has since been locked.
Not defending him, by the way. Just sayin'.
After years of careful observation I can say OP is pure trash if I ever saw it. What you do to yourself is one thing but I've seen you consistently encourage the use of hard drugs on these forums, even heroin. Everyone should try ____ at least once in their lives! And now choose to continue with your addiction instead of seeking help and at the expense of helping your mother more than you are. Others should pitch in so Amir0x can still have his mexican dirt brick weed. Pathetic. As you are known to lie and even go so far as to edit year(s) old posts to do it, no one should trust a word that comes out of your mouth.
Best wishes to your mother.

oh... thats not that much at all
I've never actually bought it, but I've never turned it down...

The money was to his mother. Yeah, that might have been because he spent his money on drugs, maybe not, but GAF kindly donated to his mother.
Ami, I've spit my share of vitriol about you during your tenure as a mod, and maybe I'm not your biggest fan, but I'm glad your mother is doing better, and I think some of these comments are harsh as hell.

He is saying the donation drive came when he had very little money 6 months ago, and he just made the drug spend now after saving up after that.
Get some help if you can. Not because drugs are bad but because you could probably do something more productive and long lasting with 400 dollars. I'm not going to lecture you because it's your life. You don't need to end up dead because of your vice though.

I'm aware.
Six months in between begging for money and blowing $400 on drugs for a week is not anywhere near enough time.
Total lack of perspective. You had no business begging anyone for money in the first place if 6 months later you'd have that kind of cash to blow.
You should have borrowed that money instead.
Well, that post about the drugs was apparently in the PoliGAF thread. So unless he recently made some recent thank you message in that thread that I don't know about, it doesn't sound like he did.
Unless you're talking about this thread, in which case I think the thread title is pretty self-explanatory.
Edit: Beaten by the man himself.
When did the donation timer actually end though?
I think the big issue here is he asked for donations, yet had $400 sitting around that he could have used for his mother's care as well, instead, he got presumably more than $400 from GAF, and then spent his own $400 on drugs...
But, in reality, he didn't ever need GAF's $400 since he had his own.. basically he got someone else to pay for his mom so he could pay for his drugs with his money, when he should have just used that $400 drug money he set aside for his mother instead, and forgone 'partying out'..
Doesn't matter if you have $400 sitting in savings for your own shit, you don't ask for money from people until you have $0. Savings or not.
edit: to clarify, I like Ami, he's always been a gaffer I respected and would read his posts with purpose, but the priorities here are messed up to be sure.

It's not about helping or not helping someone, but planning ahead and preparing. Especially when you have a sick family member. Just because your head is above water doesn't mean you're out of danger yet. I've been in this situation many times.

You're crazy, you could have bought 400 McDoubles with that money.
On a serious note, I hope your mom is doing well and I don't regret donating to the cause.

Wow, you're horrible.
yeah... there is obviously some real confusion here, and it's my fault perhaps for being so open with neoGAF about my recreational activities. I should know by now that this is dangerous because people can take it out of context, or try to use it against your character simply because they disagree with the idea of recreational drug use (my body, I'll do to it what I want, etc etc).
But to those concerned, every last penny of the fundraising money went directly into my Mom's PayPAL, which then went directly into her bank account. I never once had access to that stuff.
I didn't donate but wtf? how do you go from such hard times to spending 400$ on a drug binge in a matter of months and expect everybody to be cool about it.
And then to say "no worries all of your money went to my mother". I don't doubt this is true but at the same time you're being disingenuous because you were saving money on the side (that you would not have been able to save without the donations) for a drug binge... which is equivalent to using GAFs money out right on yourself. GAF gave you money to help your mother, not for you to be selfish. What you do in your own time is your business but don't expect helper GAFers to be cool with how you're using the money.

No it seems it was the money was to him...for his mother. Big difference.
I'm glad it seemingly worked out, but you have to be stupid to give money like that.
All of this. And from the first page alone.

This is the worst post I've ever seen.
Yeah, I see why you're so confused about this now. I assume he just figured everyone knew about why he was responding with that information.
