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?

I'd accept it lol that even buys you an invite in for coffee lol
You can unroll it if saliva an issue, I would anyway cos I prefer smoking it other ways

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

Now there is a life motto Grin

You can get a good joint here (where marijuana is legal) for $3. So, if the bunk beds were worth $6 (just under a fiver) it was a fair trade. If they were worth more, you ripped him off.

Distribution of Cannabis is illegal.

Swallowsareback · 08/06/2020 05:15

Where are you getting your tons of decent weed from? (Asking for a friend 😉)

InfiniteSheldon · 08/06/2020 05:21

You don't know his circumstances, he might be a recovering addict. Giving up weed was one the hardest things I've ever done but it was essential for my mental health. The only setback I had was when a 'friend' gave me a birthday card with a couple of spliffs in it. It's not a benign little drug. It's very different to a glass of wine or a brandy it hospitalises people with psychosis, damages mental health is widely used to fund terrorism and is instrumental in the training of terrorists. the5 production and distribution causes death and violence world wide. You need to educate yourself.

So bunk bed wielding older middle class man might appreciate a couple of free potentially covid-ridden spliffs or even vegan cake Grin
Wanking isn't illegal unless you do it in public.
You must be lost for choice OP
Personally I'd be happy with an unopened bottle of vino. HTH Wink

ThwartYourChub · 08/06/2020 05:27

You're really cool OP. 😎👌 I wish I was just like you. You even post about how cool you are on Mumsnet. That's off the scale.

ThwartYourChub · 08/06/2020 05:32

Why can't you buy beds for your kids btw?

Whenwillthisbeover · 08/06/2020 05:42

I wouldn’t appreciate a spliff, or a vegan cake.

A bottle of red wouldn’t go amiss.

ThwartYourChub · 08/06/2020 05:48

One of mine was allergic to eggs, years ago. I can confirm that vegan cake is as horrific as it sounds.

Mind, I wasn't stoned when I ate it. And i didn't get my kids' beds off of skips. So what do I know really?

AintNoMaryPoppins · 08/06/2020 06:02

And i didn't get my kids' beds off of skips

We've moved onto skips now? 😂 Couldn't make it up.

Monty27 · 08/06/2020 06:06

Skips over vegan cake mmmmm

ChiaraRimini · 08/06/2020 06:29

Actual LOL at drug addicted prostitute etc.
If the op gives him a bottle of wine, what if he is a recovering alcoholic?
If she gives him a cake, what if he is bulimic?
He can just chuck it away if he doesn't want it.
It's legal in various US/Canadian states.

MadameMeursault don't waste anyone's time reporting people you know for having weed. Just a tip. No one cares.

I care actually, for lots of reasons. Mostly because the kids I work with have a horrible smoking habit by the time they are 15. Its illegal, how does that make an appropriate gift for sone one you don’t know?

Speeding
They also fall into the category of no one cares/it’s fine lots of people do it. Should I also unclench about the MacDonalds rubbish that’s back in our hedge?

Monty27 · 08/06/2020 07:04

Lighten up leflic
A post on here light-hearted is hardly a threat to society

We've smoked weed before and had it in our house when the kids have been here (smoked when they aren't).

It was in our bedroom, in a tin, in my wardrobe. My kids never saw it, never smelt it, never touched it, never even knew it was there. It wasn't left on the floor or kept in a little bowl on the dining room table.

But people have no problem with keeping a bottle of wine/vodka on the kitchen shelf Hmm

HereComesSimon · 08/06/2020 07:19

I hope you don't plan on dishing this out come Halloween when you've ran out of sweets!

This is a weird thread, smoking weed in the presence of children is revolting.

Where has OP said her children are present?

I've smoked it before with DH, when the kids aren't here. We didn't just light up a spliff whilst the kids sat next to us 😂

borntohula · 08/06/2020 07:21

@Leflic well she can report it to you then I suppose. PM her perhaps.

Gingerkittykat · 08/06/2020 07:22

Combine your love of baking and weed and make him a nice covid free vegan space cake!

borntohula · 08/06/2020 07:27

This 'get him a bottle of wine' shit is priceless, btw. What if he's a recovering alcoholic? IME being drunk is far more dangerous than being stoned. Bloody hypocrites, I tell you.

TwistyHair · 08/06/2020 07:32

Do it. Ask him if he smokes first. He may seem the type but you never know if he may have stopped.

Bluntness100 · 08/06/2020 07:39

Why don’t you ask him if he smokes weed? If he says no then don’t, if he says yes, then ask if he has his own, and if he says no then gift him.

GeriGeranium · 08/06/2020 07:40

I might “seem like the type” but I’m so strait laced id be a bit shocked to be offered a spliff. I’ve never tried them or any drugs. Honestly it would make me very uncomfortable. I have friends who also “seem the type” but are so vehemently anti-drugs they might call the police on you. They have an older relative who is a recovering addict who could relapse if given a spliff in a moment of weakness.

So I think it’s a bad idea.
