How do you treat your friends?

Hey Guys,
lets say you just harvested sowwhere near to a pound. Your intent of growing is to treat yourself.
Now you have your friends coming over and you sure smoke one (or two or three ...) to just enjoy life and weeed.
The evening comes and youre beeing asked if you sell or give away some of the sweet flowers. Youre sure that you dont want to sell any, as this would not suit your character, but you def want to give your friends a share, as theyre not growing. (Sharing is caring!!)

So do you just give away your buds or do you "charge" anything for it? (Maight be a beer or sth one has to bring to get bud :p)

Peace

your friends shouldnt know you grow imo.

even so, they shouldnt mooch either. Its definatley ok imo for someone to ask for weed once or twice. after that it gets old. As far as them asking if u sell it. just tell them u dont sell it. And that u need to save it for your self

or tell them u sold it all to someone else except for an ounce then when they come over you can tell them you dont have enough to give away!! but you will smoke a joint with them if they want!!

well i for one would not let my friends know how much i had, or that i grew it.

two, of course its ok to hook your friends up once and a while, but they dont need know anything other than you have a little extra this one time or two to spare.

and if you do let people know these things, they ask you to sell it to them, give it away. ALL THE TIME.

keep certain things to yourself, save yourself some trouble.

toss them a nug or two here and there and leave it at that.

" Friends" soon develop a sense of entitlement, especially once they find out you are growing. Which in itself is your #1 security concern. Friends, people, like to let people know they know the grower. Let them get busted with your generosity and they will play lets make a deal to get themselves outta trouble. Your name will be the first off their lips. They can soon become like leaches eager to clean you out of your flowers because once they have you over a barrel what are ya gonna do? Sharing is caring same as loose lips lead to jail sentences. Not trying to be negative here or pop your bubble, but tell 1 friend what you are doing you will never know how many he has told.

Nothing wrong with hooking a friend up and taking a donation for your hard work.

Just dont make it a habit, and they wont make it a habit.

some good points made.

If they already know your growing, which they shouldn't, I def think its best to say you sold the majority of it. Just have a small harvest party and smoke them out. That should be it.

I had it happen to me and I never realised how popular I was until I had ounces of lovely herb in my house. Not saying they were using me or anything but when ppl are in your house smoking your herb, eating your food and drinkin your drink and never even bringing up a 6pack or a pizza it can get annoying. Im all for sharing.....once its reciprocated in some form or another

I like this one.
the others kind said the same thing. So looks like most of us r on the same page when it comes to this stuff.

I usuly ask me friends if they wanna match a few bowls. when they have some good.

haha.....well said Superman...

If it is a good friend, meaning someone who I know would reciprocate, I have no problem laying a small bud on them...especially if I want to get feedback on a harvest.

But superman is right, 99.9% of people if they knew you grew (or even if they knew you always had weed) would have an expectation that they should get it for free all the time...

basically, cash talks, bullshit walks.

My circle is pretty tight. People I've known all of my life. So when I host a "sit-down" people get a care package when they leave. Even if it's just a couple rolled and presented nicely. It majorly depends on how much I have but I'm a budgeter and always know how much is "extra." Beyond that, if they ask and I have, I share. If I'm low or out then I don't. Friends understand.

That's up to you but selling opens doors you might want to keep shut. It's a matter of whether you value the $ more than having smoke at the ready.

I'm not immune from the "sell me a bud" crack. But the best answers are wordless. You get that incredulous look (not necessarily rude.)

I know weed is much better sharing than hoarding. Friends bring out the appreciation full-circle. But you have a limit and the line is where you see it.

If you don't want to toss or even sell to your friends, consider going to their place on occasion to share the wealth in addition to friends visiting you.

The one thing I would definitely not do is tell folks you're growing. People have a weird way of telling others and assuming your secret is safe with them (and whoever they told.) Friends may tell another because they like you and their impressed. But friends don't necessarily see things from your perspective...

Gotta spliff, mate?
Nah, but Joe's got a pack and won't even sell me a bud
.

That kind of knowledge is yours alone, IMO.

You're a generous guy and I know you're a good friend. I just hope somebody doesn't sour grape what's out of their discretion. Even if it doesn't get you pinched, human nature sometimes gets weird.

I'm like you, I share weed with friends but I tend to lie to keep perspectives my own. They never see more than I plan to blaze and they don't know I grow. They might suspect but I never confirm. It's a lonely aspect but safety can't be underestimated.

I get a bit uncomfortable when the village of friends says "That's some good weed but Joe's (me) is always better. Even if I were buying I wouldn't want that kind of conversation going around somewhat wholesale.

in god we trust all others pay cash.if your homeless i will give you a home temporallily, if your hungry i will feed you, if you just wanna get stoned you got to pay motherfucker. medicinal people are different and an exemption to the rule

Buds cost cash even from friends, I don't grow for anything but personal, so if I'm giving up my stash, I expect a lil bit of cost coverage to produce that stash.

On the other hand, (certain) clones and grow knowledge are free.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind hooking a buddy up, but I have clearly deciphered which friends are legit and ones that are just people I know.

If you're growing for medicinal needs, that's one thing. If you grow to support yourself financially, that's something else. But if you're growing for recreation, sharing with friends is the best shit ever. I don't charge them for the wine, food or my criminally-awesome personality so why should I charge for the giggle-bush? But then, I don't just let anyone into my home and am not loose with the term "friend."
