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’ve taken plenty of drugs when younger. However if I was dropping off free bunk beds and you offered me weed, I would think you were a bit... well to be honest... scummy.

All the people on here thinking this is so cool: no it really isn’t. It doesn’t matter if it’s legal in a few US states/Canada/NL. It’s an illegal drug here and unless OP is growing it in her loft it is probably linked to gangs, modern slavery and terrorism. Ha bloody ha.

borntohula · 08/06/2020 09:49

SeasonallySnowyPeasant no one thinks it's 'cool.' That's just something people say when they don't understand people's reasons for using it.

seeingdots · 08/06/2020 09:50

Ooh I'd love that. I've not smoked in a few years but a wee spliff for a nice summer evening in the garden would be lovely. Sod chocolates and wine, I can get them from Tesco Grin

@SerenDippitty Some people enjoy the feeling of relaxation one small joint gives them in the same way some people happily have one drink and stop there.

Both drugs. Both can be enjoyed nicely or abused.

riotlady · 08/06/2020 09:53

I’d be over the moon. I don’t look like a stoner though, so nobody ever offers me anything (unlike DP who obviously looks dodgy af!)

vodkaredbullgirl · 08/06/2020 09:55

Didnt someone get stopped by the police in lockdown, they said they were working. When the police checked the car he had loads of drugs in the car.

GiveMeCoffeeandTV · 08/06/2020 10:00

Talk about embarrassing. It would make you look like a clueless middle class drug user who doesn’t give a second thought to the misery caused by the drugs trade. There is an epidemic of violence and misery out there, underpinning the middle class drug trade - county lines, city gangs, vulnerable kids. Why would you advertise your ignorance?

Any self respecting ageing hippie wouldn’t touch this with a barge poll.

bellinisurge · 08/06/2020 10:01

I might tell you to fuck off.

psychomath · 08/06/2020 10:10

Pure got the giggles at some of these responses, thanks OP Grin

Btw wanking off a non-household member is also illegal at the moment. She'd have to offer to move in with them.

LolaDarkdestroyer · 08/06/2020 10:37

Glad people find this funny I do actually feel sorry for your kids if their parents think it's fine to smoke weed they will too and end up paranoid thick as fuck stoners like many I know.

borntohula · 08/06/2020 10:40

@LolaDarkdestroyer interesting you say that, I've known many weed smokers over the years and many of them have been very intelligent and 'switched on' people!

ChiaraRimini · 08/06/2020 10:44

Lola it must be the circles you move in. I know lots of people with sensible jobs etc who wouldn't say no to a crafty J.
Lots of people grow their own so not necessarily an ethical issue either.

Mabelface · 08/06/2020 10:50

I used to drink heavily. Now I have a doob every evening before bed. If be delighted to be offered a couple of them or a nug.

As for the pearl clutchers going on about getting second hand beds whilst buying weed, get over yourselves. Far better to recycle instead of them going into land fill. I buy most stuff second hand, even my clothes as it's more ecologically sound.

borntohula · 08/06/2020 10:55

@Mabelface secondhand stuff is 'manky' apparently. Hmm

FreeKitties · 08/06/2020 10:57

Do you know what is laughable here - you say you care about the environment but couldn’t give a shit about the human cost of the drug trade.

Give over trying to be smart arses and actually research the illegal drugs trade. Anyone supporting it - directly or indirectly is just as culpable.

NameChange84 · 08/06/2020 10:59

I’d be really fucking offended and would have 0 problem with reporting you to social services for having drugs in the house around your kids.

Quackersandcheese3 · 08/06/2020 11:03

I’d ask if he wanted it first.

So long as you are being ecologically sound never mind the cost to humans of the drugs trade

Skelebat · 08/06/2020 11:13

I buy 2nd hand everything furniture wise. I don't see the point in paying new prices when so many people get rid of perfectly good items.

I also grow my own weed for personal, medical use.

Skelebat · 08/06/2020 11:13

Namechange84 😂😂😂

CorianderLord · 08/06/2020 11:35

Do not offer a stranger drugs. He may be outraged and call the police saying you are dealing. He may have a heart condition, be willing to try it and then become ill. You just don't know. Offer a nice bottle of wine or something if you must. Something legal

carexfairex · 08/06/2020 11:40

You have never bought it? Always home grown?

People always start somewhere. You may be that one person who does use it for medical reasons and who has always grown it, but let's not kid ourselves that you represent the majority.

The chain of supply is horrific.

Skelebat · 08/06/2020 12:04

My grandad grew it so no, I've never bought. He taught me how to grow before he passed away.

ChilliCheese123 · 08/06/2020 12:06

Tbh I wouldn’t want anything home made - chutney or spliffs - I don’t know how clean you are
