For 13 years I was the payday loan guy where I worked. I only got stiffed, once. (my fault, temporary employee)

mostly regular customers ...caught between a hard place & a rock...no usury

Its not the credit that would bother me
As I'm never lending what I'm not willing lose
It's the lost sales when they didn't have my cash
But that was before, my people are good now, and if there not- they no not to ask
I lost a few friends/customers over the years
But I always made tenfold over what they owed

It's like gambling/betting. Never lend more than you can stand saying bu-bye if repayment isn't made.

And don't loan to relatives. No brainer!

I assume you are talking about giving people weed on credit.

If they don't have the money now then they wont have it later, that's always been my motto.
Or they do have the money but are looking to get weed off you so they can get a free earn.

You need to find other people to donate too; sounds like your present contacts are just taking advantage of you.
Kick those sort of people out of your life or they will end up plotting to break into your house and take your weed and grow equipment.

All depends, one guy I lent money to because his daughter needed it for school in another country, paid me back 2 months later took a couple reminders but no issues.

Another guy needed rent, was out of work would lose his wife and kid because of his mother in law so I sent him the money for rent knowing I would never see it again.

For business type loans, if you aren't the bank, why make a loan or a front?

I think it depends on the amounts of $ and the scenario of how they ended up owing u $...If these are people uve been working with (aka selling. Herb to) then don't be afraid to ask for the money... Have a conversation about when they will have the $...
And when that day comes, call them, go see them and get the $...


Sometimes people get robbed or they fuck it up, cops take it or whatever... Uve got to be willing to work with them but remember to never feel bad about asking for your $ back.
Tough guy shit has never been my path when it comes to collecting $..

A simple business deal is a good business deal.

ESPECIALLY on Craigslist.

As long as someone owes you money, then you're never really broke,
That's just the way I look at it though

[armedoldhippy]

i never front so much that i would lose sleep if i did not get it back. likewise, i never front to anyone that i have not known for twenty or thirty years. loaning money? meh. i look at it as a gift, so it is a pleasant surprise to be repaid. it is all in your mind...

lost a bestfriend over an 8th... it was still super illegal so no1 knew that I grew at all.. and I fronted him an 8th until pay day.. he was always terrible with money..

I never saw him again.. his boss actually paid me the 40$ .. because he needed something from me and I told him that I wasn't going to sell to him either because my boy decided to bounce over 40$. like 5 years of friendship and seeing him almost EVERY DAY.. to just leave over 40$ cause that's what he does.. did it to everyone in his family borrows money then just never speaks to them again. I figured 40$ fuck he wont do that its 40$.. nope he did it never saw him again.. been 2 years and he doesn't even owe me anymore.. but he still doesn't talk to me haha
