Issues with friend

[freeganja]

Thanks to all those who decide to read this but I thought maybe this could be happening to someone else.

I've had this friend for several years who is a heavy smoker. He will easily smoke an ounce in a week. Anyway, back to the beginning...

I have been growing for a couple of years and in those two years I have never had a personal stash to myself. I grow in a limited amount of space with only 400 watts so I don't expect much. But, my friend always comes to me buying everything that I have so that I don't have anything left to myself.

Recently he got married and I decided to give him 2 Original Haze x Skunk #1 plants that I had to grow for almost 5 months. Along with that I grew a Satori clone and a Mandala #1 plant. Out of those, he bought all the Satori and much of the Mandala. Fast forward to two months...I ask him to send me some bud because I don't have access to any where I'm staying at the moment. I don't think the bud's gonna get to me, maybe it got "lost" in the mail. But now he wants the only bud that I have left (back at home) for himself, for that bud that he sent me in the mail. Now, I have sent him stuff before and never asked for anything in return.

I'm getting tired of having to support his habit and mine. Some of you may ask, then why do I sell to him? Because sometimes he says that he can't get anything anywhere else, and what am I supposed to do when he knows that I've got a harvest done? Plus I feel sorry for him.

I would be okay with selling him only a little bit, but he always comes back asking if I have more to sell. Now I feel like I have to lie and say that I stopped growing just so I could have something for myself.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

when u harvest a P tell him u only got a HP then just say "u smoke it to fast man'

 

[freeganja]

Oh trust me it's a running joke the way we talk about his smoking habits. I'm seriously thinking about saying I'm just not growing anymore.

Cut the umbilical cord - you owe him zilch, and he is in your debt.

That's not a pal - that's a customer, and a demanding, nonpaying one at that.

Buddy is on his own - and be sure to let him know why.

A friend that is a dick about weed, is no friend indeed.

triple the prices, and tell him that the demand is just that good. (your hands are tied)

 

[freeganja]

Thanks Classy. I actually owe him $180 but I think that I've repaid that with that wedding present. If this continues my repayment will be more than that, I'm sure.

Yep, that's the right phrase NOKUY.

Wow man an ounce a week!!!???? I once smoked an eighth in about 6 days and I was stoned ALL the time.

I have a friend who's in your exact situation. Except that his friend (our mutual friend) who buys the weed usually buys on credit, and has now racked up quite a debt that he doesn't really intend to repay.

Anyways, as I get older I've discovered that all things in life are improved by truth and honesty. I've been in your shoes, doing things for people because of a feeling within us that says its the right thing to do. At the end of the day you gotta do what's right for you.

You can't please everyone one, so you gotta please yourself . . .

+1. If he wants to smoke you out of your stash make it an expensive proposition to do so. I used to know someone who anyone in a state that is as repressive as mine knows as "the man." He is that guy whose stuff you have stumbled on from various sellers from time to time and you were just blown away. So I sought him out and got a hookup for myself and a couple members of my family battling some medical issues. Long story short he was only in our neck of the woods once in a blue moon and so I only got stuff from him every so often. Well a friend tried it one night and from that point on he would hound me weekly about getting some "at cost." Now I love to help people out but this was getting stupid, I could get popped for trafficking so I told him I was upping the price to street value just cuz I couldn't keep supplying people unless they were paying for my future legal bills. He still pays top dollar plus every once in a while to pick some up. Good guy but he doesn't know when to stop burning, 5 hits on a 2 hitter strain.

just tell your friend how you feel and if he still wants to take the last of your own headstash then he's not much of a friend imo.

next harvest i would just keep the head nugs and give em all the popcorn for the same price.

I wouldnt lie to him just tell him you are gong to limit the amount he buys

 

[freeganja]

Good guy but he doesn't know when to stop burning, 5 hits on a 2 hitter strain.

That's him all right. He smoked OHazexSkunk#1 in two weeks, and he had about an ounce of that. He smoked 11g of Satori in a week.

I guess I could tell him I got a crappy harvest, but I can't say that all the time. I don't feel right about lying, but then again I don't feel right about doing something so risky just to feed his big habit.

Tell him the second part of that, "I don't feel right about doing something so risky just to geed his big habit." Tell him you are only growing for yourself from now on because of security reasons. Hell tell him whatever you want to. You shouldn't be risking your freedom for him, you are the one taking all the risks and unless he is going to pay for those risks... no dice.

Good luck

 

[NOKUY]

Tell him you are only growing for yourself from now on because of security reasons.

ideally tell him i'm done growing.

....not that youve become selfish and only grow for you now....(ppl get vengance in their blood).

(i know your not selfish...just tired of feeding greed)...but just saying (saying how he'll take it)

the price inflation is the only route that is safe ....maybe he will decide to grow his own....worked for me.

 

[statusquo]

Demand has gone up (you want it more) and so should prices... Think of it as a favor since now maybe he will buy less since he can't afford it haha.

 

[sackoweed]

I would totally tell this douchebag.. Listen man i friggn dropped a gallon bucket of water on my ballast it no longer works and they are to expensive to buy a new one, the light is no good so i tossed it.. And wont be growing anymore.. If ya know of someone to get me some shit from, please let me know will you my good friend.. cough douchebag.... this could turn ugly if you do it any other way imho, this dude sounds like a bottom feeder sorry to say, i know he is your friend but, how can one feel sorry for such a person.. that is my two rusty coins... peace.

sack

 

[freeganja]

I think you are right statusquo & NOKUY. I recently upped the price to $100 per quarter because I got tired of him always smoking my stuff. It doesnt really help that he pays anyway...
because after I have none left, Im stuck buying from his guy until my next harvest!

 

[love?]

Just be honest, he will understand, eventually... if he doesn't well fuck him.

 

[mexilandrace]

you sure he isn't just selling it?

sounds kinda sketchy to me

you give him friend prices, he gets to make some cash on you and you keep empowering him to do so.

not saying he is doing that, but if I was you I would wonder...

 

[freeganja]

Yes Sackoweed, Ive thought about that. When he told me he wanted all my remaining weed at home I decided enough is enough. Id like to finally have the stash Ive been dreaming of, and the stashes that Ive seen on here.

 

[freeganja]

Actually Mexilandrace, he told me he was doing that, but promised me a cut. I havent seen that as of yet. Usually my harvests are only enough to support me until my next harvest comes around.
