Get the rich people poormug. Lighting and smoking a cigarette with tobacco and one hitter with Cannabis simultaneously. It can also be used as an attempt to mask the weed smell if circumstances require.
I grabbed a Marlboro red and poked my one hitter into the last of my weed to smoke a poor man's spliff.

Get the Poor Man's Spliffmug. Poor Man's Ritalin is 2mg Nicotine lozenges and Caffeine in the form of Coffee and Monster energy drinks. Poor Man's Ritalin is when you have ADHD, you either drink emergency coffee you saved up, or you take a 2mg Nicotine lozenge. Then you wait 30 minutes. Then use the focus and relaxation from the coffee 100mg Caffeine or 2mg Nicotine lozenge and prepare some coffee. Then drink coffee. The combination of 2 coffees 200mg total Caffeine might help you focus, or it will put you to sleep. The combination of 2mg Nicotine and 100mg Caffeine might help you focus, or it might just put you to sleep (but less likely than with the 2 coffees). If you want, you can have a beer or shot of vodka for added focus to the Coffee and Nicotine combo.
Tony: I tried a 2mg Nicotine lozenge and then made coffee 30 minutes later. Then I enjoyed a coffee (100mg Caffeine). Thanks, Poor Man's Ritalin!

“Yeah but I tend to be sensitive about those things.”
“Yeah, me too I tend to make those kind of jokes though because I am poor snowy pan.”

Get the Poor Snowy Panmug. A stage most financially inferior individuals go through. Instead of taking the time to feel better about themselves, they elaborate their sad feelings by expressing their hatred and disgust towards individuals that are indeed flooded in racks, a top floor boss if you would. Some become so brain damaged that they stay poor forever.
Jrug: "Ara's such a drama queen. Why is she so upset?"
Yeezus: "Don't worry about it, she's going through her poor-angst phase. She's broke, remember?"
