What do I say to an acquaintance that smokes for a thousand bucks of weed every month and begs me for money for a new iPhone 15 Pro Max? 🤔

Bugger off.
But nicely.
Explain how he can better manage his money.
I did, he insists that marijuana is his "medicine". 😳
Well sure, but he can manage his money and save for the iphone. Does he usually bother you for free things? 😅
Sure marijuana is medicine, it's also the disease. 🙄
Tell him that if he isn't willing to reduce his marijuana consumption and save, then it's evident he doesn't really want the iPhone.
If he really wanted the iPhone he could cut back the weed.
Buy him a flip phone.
Exactly my thoughts.
A smartphone is maybe something of a necessity these days. The latest iPhone? That's a luxury.
It would be a different question if he was asking for, like, a $300 phone, IMO.
Agreed entirely ehich also makes me suspicious that his drug problem has gotten so bad that he's trying to bilk me one ladt time for two grand under the pretense of getting a phone.
All in all the situation with him is sad as fuck. He's gone from once, a troubled but trustworthy kid to being a very dubious individual.
Tell this person to stop smoking and invest the money in the phone. What an asshole! 😡
No.

See how much weed it takes to make a phone...

No.
Print a photo of the iPhone on paper, and roll a joint with it. Best, stickiest bud you can find.
For every week that that joint sits unsmoked on his monitor, you'll put $10 aside for his iPhone.
Only problem i havent solved is Proof-Of-Weed... :(
