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?

No, it had lots of veg oil - I usually use quite small amounts of oil when cooking, so I was a bit nonplussed when the recipe call ed for 125ml - a litre bottle of oil usually lasts a year or more.
The chocolate was just to make it chocolatey Grin
I added more cocoa, and the topping was just plain chocolate melted in non-dairy milk to make ganache.

Absolutel., I did some shopping this week for my older neighbors, they gave me a batch of weed cookies & brownies. Very gratefully received

@SomethingOnce

Crocodiles?
I could only dream of crocodiles, I used to sleep on a bed of potato peelings with only a pigs head as a pillow.

Bloody luxury you 'ad 😁

Onesailwait · 08/06/2020 00:27

Oops ment Absolutely!. They are some good cookies 😉

springrollover · 08/06/2020 00:29

OP you'd give me the world offering me a smoke. I've 3 chronic health conditions which I've masked for years using dope. I live on an island, our borders are closed. I can't get anything
Had face to face with my consultant who refused to treat my other condition even tho it's his job. Refused treatment for 2 conditions, there's no consultant allocated for my third one. We don't have one 🤷‍♀️
I could happily self medicate better than huge amount of strong prescription stuff I'm broken due to our stupid laws

EasynowPatrick · 08/06/2020 00:31

@MoonBaby1 you have made my day with this thread. I wouldn’t accept from a stranger but would prob regret not doing so later!

RedRec · 08/06/2020 00:32

Patronising as hell. My toes are curling up with cringe.

DisobedientHamster · 08/06/2020 00:32

Time won't be wasted if you're wasted all the time.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 08/06/2020 00:33

have DM'd you the recipe

MoonBaby1 · 08/06/2020 00:34

Thanks everyday . Great fully received. I’m doing far too much baking but one more cake won’t hurt!

I probably fall into the old hippy cliche but I don't think a offer of a pre rolled toke is appropriate right now, presumption, hygiene and consequence are all factors. If they were given without charge thank profusely and maybe a nice thank you note if you feel the need.

buildingbridge · 08/06/2020 00:42

AintNoMaryPoppins You definitely live up to your username 🤣

ellendegeneres · 08/06/2020 00:46

I’d say no if offered but wouldn’t be offended !!

Whenever I have it I’m sick, any idea why? It’s been helpful in the past with my chronic pain conditions but the last few times I’ve puked my guts up ! Other half has been fine same batch 😭

Euclid · 08/06/2020 00:49

Definitely not. Drugs are against the law.

BendyLikeBeckham · 08/06/2020 00:50

loving this thread!!

MitziK · 08/06/2020 00:52

You'd have had more to offer them in return if you weren't wasting hard earned cash on weed, wouldn't you?

BakedCam · 08/06/2020 00:52

@DamnYouAutoCabbage

I'm howling at these posts. Oh *@MoonBaby1* did you think when you posted this that you'd be a drug dealing, covid spreading, psychotic prostitute who can't afford beds for her kids? I'm dying 😂😂😂😂
I'm just dying. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Goingcrazy55 · 08/06/2020 00:54

@DisobedientHamster

I'd kill for some decent weed right about now. Or some zopiclone. YANBU.
Grin Agree!
LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 08/06/2020 01:22

I don't even know where to begin lol

Not all hippies are druggies (talk about stereotyping lol)
You have spliffs lying about to just randomly give out
YABU I'd say is it half term but kids are off lol so you must just be bored Grin

TheSparklyPussycat · 08/06/2020 01:28

Offer him a bud?

BillBaileysBum · 08/06/2020 01:34

Parents with loads of weed lying around but not enough money to buy someone a proper thank you for their children’s free second hand bunk beds?

This is either bullshit or they’re bringing Jeremy Kyle back.

NewbieSM · 08/06/2020 03:14

People need to get off their high horse about recreational smoking. Ffs they aren't cooking meth in their basements!

OP, I probably wouldn't offer it in case you offend him, just get a nice box of chocs or similar and save the bud for yourselves.

My husband and I indulge semi regularly in the evenings when the kids aren't here. Neither of us drinks alcohol, so smoking a joint is our way of unwinding in the evening. Both of us have well paid full time jobs and are active members of our community, volunteer etc.

Personally I think that weed is awesome, for a lot of people it's the only medicine that will help manage their pain or illnesses. My husband suffers from hydrocephalus and has had brain surgery twice. Opioids were prescribed and the effects of those are much more harmful. Smoking means he can work and participate in family life without constant debilitating headaches and nausea.

Even if you don't use it for medical use, it beats getting on the piss every night, but somehow that's more socially acceptable? Hmm

VisionQuest · 08/06/2020 03:48

Jesus, some people need to seriously unclench.

I don't smoke it any more but back in my smoking days I would have been elated to receive such a nice little gift!

If he declines then I hardly think he's going to run to the police or social services to dob you in! I'd offer it to him
