What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Growing cannabis (legal here in Canada)

…anyone can grow weed. Growing GOOD weed is an art.

I unintentionally grow weed because I made some tincture for grandma.

Now it just grows on my garden and I can't get rid of it.

One of it's many nicknames is ditchweed for a reason. It's a weed like any other. The US spends millions per year burning it out of ditches on the side of the road all around the country.

I’d be happy to burn it for them!

A little bit at a time!

We call it "The Granny choice" variety.

And trust me it is horrible, for tinctures it is great, but for anything else not.
