The one thing I hate about weed...

...is how some people who you think are your friends take advantage of your generosity. I seem to have a lot of "friends" that care more about money than friendship. When it comes to smoking, my philosophy is 'I don't care if you don't have money to throw down; I'll smoke you up because I'm a nice guy and I just expect that you return the favor another time.'
This is what I have lived by since I started smoking but it just doesn't seem to work out. It's as if some of my friends know that I'll smoke them up and refuse to throw down money.

Two nights ago, my friends Carl and Brett picked me up in Carl's car. [And those are their real names btw] Carl brought his bong which he actually stole from some kid. I packed the slide four or five times with exotics and smoked Carl up and he only packed it once with some Kush. Kush is pretty good weed but one bowl pack of it is not equivalent to 4-5 bowl packs of good exos. But I got high so I didn't give a fuck.

Last night, I was driving around with Brett and this kid Kevin in my car. I had to go home for dinner and Brett and Kevin were going to meet up with Carl in some parking lot where Kevin's car was parked. So I dropped them off and then drove to my friend Brian's house to pick up a 36 pack for later and drove home to eat dinner. After dinner, I went back to my friend Brian's house to pick him up and then Carl, Brett, and Kevin call me saying they want to smoke a blunt of Kush. So we meet them, we get into Kevin's car, and drive to 711 to get a Dutch, I pay for the Dutch, and then Carl asks me if I'm throwing down weed or money. I told him he was smoking me up since I smoked him up the day before. He says he doesn't have enough bud to roll a blunt with. So we drive back to my car, I get some weed out of my car, I give him quite a bit, and he rolls the blunt. Then we decide to go chill at someone else's house and smoke the blunt there and they tell me to bring my car because Kevin had to leave after that. So Brian and I get into my car, and they tell us not to follow them, that Brett has to go take a piss and they'll be right back. Carl had the blunt with my weed in it. I'm not that stupid. They were planning on ditching us. So I followed them anyway, Brett actually did get out to take a piss but then they decided to try to outrun me after he got back in the car. I wouldn't let them. I kept up with them down side roads, through parking lots, and behind stores for 20 minutes or so but then I was just about on E so I said fuck it and went to get gas. Then I realized that Carl's car was parked in a parking lot. We drive to the parking lot and pull up next to his car. I keep a 2-foot long cast iron pipe wrench under the seat of my car and various pocket knives. I could have broken the windows, put a big dent in the side of his car, or slashed the tires. I sat there for 15 minutes thinking of what I should do to his car and Brian even said he would do whatever I wanted him to do to it if I didn't want to. I pussied out in the end though...I just don't have it in me to do something like that. I'm not that type of person. Brett calls me up and asks where I am. I tell him I'm in a different town. He says they were just fucking around and to come to this girl's house we were originally going to. Carl gets on the phone and says that he's smoking the blunt to his head and then hangs up. He calls back 2 minutes later telling me that I have to go to this girls house because Kevin left and I'm his ride back to his car. I tell him I'm coming but decided I would just leave him hanging. I didn't give a shit anymore. I turned my phone off and Brian and I went to a party and the rest of the night was great.

Now this is just one time that a "friend" has ripped me off with weed. I usually don't care...I look at it as 'oh, big deal I lost a couple bucks...is that really worth getting in a fight over?' And I can't really just not hang out with the kids that are like this because all my honest friends are friends with them too.

As much as I hate to, I think I'm going to have to start getting picky about money like everyone else seems to be. I try to trust people but it just doesn't work out. People are assholes.

 

uhh.. what? why do you hang with these people? wtf bro you are bringing this shit on yourself by the sounds of it

stop being such a quiet bitch with your dope... this carl dude should not have been calling ANY of the shots.. he doesnt have access to ganj, he doesnt have access to his car. who the hell does he think he is?

more to the point, who the hell do you think he is to let him walk over you like that?

 

yea fuck moochers, you did the right thing by not vandalizing his car. slashing someones tires and breaking their windows over weed is just retarded imo.

but yea, hang with that brian dude, he sounds cool. fuck the rest of them.

 

ps. id like to get something straight - i love sharing weed and do it all the time. you learn pretty quickly when people deserve it or not. you can also work out whether you represent a friend or represent a ganj supply pretty easy too. next time someone asks you for ganj, tell them you got none but you got a dealer and if they chuck in, you will go get it.

 

I'm not exactly sure what I would do, but I'd probably just said "No, were using your shit cause I smoked you out yesterday. If you really want to roll a blunt, get more weed"

I don't know, something like that. I'm not huge stoner, and I don't go around and in my car and get calls asking if I wanna smoke and stuff. I can't even drive yet. I just get some, grab a friend and do it. I've never smoked more than twice in a day(I don't think so). Most of the answers to those questions are probably just because I never have a ton of money or anything. Usually just like 20 to get at least something.

 

It sounds like your friends are douche-bags.


Get new ones, and stop being a door-mat.

 

the one thing I hate about weed.. Makes things like this>

hard to read..

 

Yeah, Carl sure seems like a douchebag. I would try and find some other dudes to hang with that aren't moochers and don't make you drive all over the earth to give their asses rides. at the same time though, I dont mind throwing down 4 the same people a few times in a row if i'm good friends w/ them.

 

I used to have this problem, when I had a falling out with a friend of mine.

Since then, we have gotten over it, but I might be able to give you some advice.

Just dont let them walk all over you.

Set clear boundaries.

And dont put yourself in the position to get fucked. (like giving him your weed to roll in a blunt and then getting out of the car)


People can be assholes sometimes, but generally, when someone is taken advantage of, it is most likely that the person victimized gave the other person a certain amount of control over them.

Bottom line, don't be a doormat.


And it probably wouldn't hurt to look into surrounding yourself with different people.

 

The dude stole your weed, next time there is a get together with most of your friends there bring up how shitty it was of him to steal weed from a friend, the shame of peers is quite a wake up call, maybe he will make it right by you. I guess he never heard of the saying " don't shit in you own back yard" well peace and good luck

 

^but you are the dude

 

I used to hang out with people like that, but then I realized how much I fucking hated them and got new friends. I used to always have to throw down all the money for the weed and they wouldn't spend shit. In my circle of friends now, we don't really care who throws down and who doesnt, as long as we all get stoned.

 

yeah, i had the same problem for a while with a guy who me and another mate though was a good mate, but we always ended up paying for weed and he only ever payed once and it wasnt like the situation where he didnt have a job and strugled for money, he had a job but he just enjoyed mooching off us more than paying, since then i learned to get to know people a little better and then smoke with them, but hey, every situation is different

 

CPL Clegg is an awesome Floyd song. Respect. Moochers suck ass. Love you THC, see ya later x

 

i hate people makes profit from it , i hate it ilegal

 

lern 2 speak coherently ^^^

 

i love this story cause it reminds me how cool my friends are. its just a known thing that everyone holds his own. and you always smoke friends up that have given you favors before.
even though it sucks be glad your not still wasting time hanging out with people who never intended to be your friend.

 

This is why I only smoke with close friends and family. People that you know will always take care of you.

 

Then start dealing pot or some kind of drug and you'll realize why people make profit from it. I'm not putting my ass on the line to sell people drugs to not make any money from it


But yea, that kid's a dick, like the other guy said, next time you're with him and other people just be like "so yeah about that time you stole weed from me"

 

that's the thing about being 17
noone's got any money... but everyone wants to get stoned

just turn into one of the kids who 'doesn't have enough weed to smoke people out'.. and if they aren't willing to throw money or pot down each time you smoke, go home and smoke alone
