Are a couple of pre rolled spliffs acceptable remuneration in this time?

Obviously lighthearted but also a dilemma.

We acquired a beautiful set of free bunk beds for our dc from a local selling site. Completely free. We don’t have much to offer in return and the guy looked like a lovely older middle class hippy type. We have a lot of decent weed on us.

I think it would be just what a bloke like him in lockdown would really want but dh isnot so sure.

Those that used to enjoy a smoke but have nothing on them in lock down. Wouldn’t this be a lovely thank you?

This thread really has everything. Grin

I bake amazing vegan cakes (ok slightly passable) with aqua faba or egg replacer.

Off topic I know!

Don’t worry about him, i’ll take it

I love the logic of some replies. When did OP say she couldn't afford beds? Pre-loved is better for your bank account and the environment. Who wouldn't choose to save money? I reckon these posters are 'anti-drugs' but think nothing of quaffing a bottle of wine.

OP, my only concern would be that he doesn't smoke weed and you've misjudged him.

Or maybe a whole host of other reasons

My dh looks nothing like a middle aged hippy and he would love a spliff in return for our old bunk beds 🤣

DamnYouAutoCabbage · 07/06/2020 23:47

I'd rather grab the flannel than go through all that trouble @Ylostigres 🤔

Bleepbloopblarp · 07/06/2020 23:49

I’d take ‘em. I’m a middle class, middle aged mum living in a posh house though so I doubt anyone would offer. Don’t even know where to get weed from round here! Lockdown is bringing out my naughty side coz I’m bored - had a covert fag in dh’s shed yesterday!

BirdieDance · 07/06/2020 23:49

Second hand beds for your children when you can afford to have excessive amounts of illegal drugs in your house? Bloody hell OP.

MoonBaby1 · 07/06/2020 23:51

Bleepblopblarp has it. That exactly the sort of covert joy I was hoping to give in exchange for the beds.

Get a grip @BirdieDance 🙄 Loads of people buy preloved and I don't think she has a cannabis farm!!

worstofbothworlds · 07/06/2020 23:52

Stereotyping, and both lazy and damaging. We're complete zero waste, cloth nappy, baby sling, always buy used types and I'm into ethnic clothing but am not vegan nor would I touch drugs with a barge pole. So if I pop round with some organic sourdough starter in my tie dye dress please don't offer me any.

SummerDayWinterEvenings · 07/06/2020 23:53

Nope. What a silly post.

MoonBaby1 · 07/06/2020 23:53

I can confirm I don’t have a cannabis farm Grin

Nor were my boys sleeping in Fagin’s den pre bunk bed man! Just a happy upgrade!

Are you a total idiot? You shouldn’t have weed in the house if you have kids. I wish I knew you irl so I could report you.

BirdieDance · 07/06/2020 23:54

We have a lot of decent weed on us
In a house with children but no desire to buy them a bed. I hope the generous donor reports you to social services OP. I sure as hell would.

Ylostigres · 07/06/2020 23:56

Oooh no, not aqua faba, it always leaves a "beany" aftertaste! Try a spoon or two of applesauce, or a mashed ripe banana in replace of an egg, delicious, moist cakes everytime. Or for cheat vegan cake, Betty crocker cake mixes contain no animal products... Mix up a box of choc fudge cake with a can of coke (cola obviously....) Delicious. Even the frosting tubs are "vegan".

theneighbourswindchime · 07/06/2020 23:56

Lol at fagins den!!

I'd offer as a joke, read his response, go from there!!

Vegan cakes? 🤢

Branleuse · 07/06/2020 23:57

I don't think you should do this. At all. You dont know what his reaction would be. He might be anti drugs, he might be fine with them in theory but not want to. He might be in recovery. He might not smoke spliff.

If hes a stoner, he might not want someone elses rolled spliff anyway if youve licked it. He would have his own supply

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 07/06/2020 23:57

I made vegan cakes last week, without any chick pea juice or egg replacement. Baking powder and lots of chocolate.
Non vegans couldn't tell they weren't "normal".

Think I'd offer a bottle of wine.

MoonBaby1 · 07/06/2020 23:58

ylostigres

It makes my high sugar baking taste more wholesome and earthy! I usually use the standard egg replacer powder tbh but love the apple sauce idea.
