friends and your pot

[stonerman]

Hey guys, I just wanted to start a thread on your friends and see is you guys have ever had any trust issues with your friends, because I know it does happen.Ill start with my experiences, I had a friend, never actually showed him my grow, but he assumed he knew the location, id always tell him how they were coming along and what not. Then one night he started acting mysterious, showing up at my house, then leaving right after, then he even calls me on his cell asking where im at. I get right suspicious, my dog was acting up, so let him loose and i went for a little walk with a bat lol, ,my dog found him right away, while i hid quite close in a bush, he came a little closer, i came out jumping outta that bush like a mad man swinging the bat screaming lmao, scared the living fuck outta him, I chased him for a good 200 meters, not trying to hurt him or anything just scare him. Lol the funny thing was I didnt even have any plants even close to that location. Another year I came across several "friends", they were 2 miles deep in the woods when i came up right from behind them, I was fishing that day, had my pole, and I startled them, the shocked experissions on their faces, and they coodnt even tell me what they were doing, yet they had a machete.....hmmm. Its just times like that it proves who your friends are. btw the people I mentioned i am no longer in contact with. I never show anybody my grows unless its the day their harvested and i dont intend growing there the following year. Its harder to keep the grow on the hush, especially when your end up with a bountiful harvest every year. So has anybody else had friends that marijuana has brought the evil out in them, just curious, thinking it might be an interesting read, happy toking.

my gf knows, but we live together.....she gunna hide the weed on her side of the closet???

other than her no one knows anything.

most of my friends aren't hardcore smokers so they probably wouldn't even care if i told them the location, my smoker friends would probab;y try and rip me off though.

None of my friends know for sure.... I live in a small place with no room for a grow...and typically in WA we don't grow outdoors (west of the mountains anyway) so they wonder but don't have a clue.

Never had a problem because I know how to keep my mouth shut....and I have driveway alarms set around the place, and some noisy dogs...if you creep onto my property, I am the first to know.

Either the old man or I are usually home, if not I have my oldest son come stay. I also taught my kid how to keep his mouth shut...his girlfriend doesn't even know....he just comes to stay with the dogs when we aren't around.

KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!

My 3 best friends are all grow partners. We help each other with our grows.

Come to think of it, I guess I don't have to many friends that aren't growers. lol!

Only has one friend- and he still doesnt know!

 

[Cannabis Krew 420]

yeah i definately do have trust issues with some people and have had plants stolen from me before, but on the other hand i do have accouple friends that are like brothers to me and we are completely open and helpful about our grows with eachother

 

[Saerimmner]

only ppl that know about my grow is my g/f and 3 of my mates that all grow themselves so we are always swapping stuff, rest of the ppl i know ive seen what they get like when weed/money/alcohol is involved an dont trust any of em not to knife their own mum in the back for £10

 

[new grower uk]

im abit of a prick in the sense i dont have many friends, the only friends i do have i completely trust, was always told you only have enought real friends to fit on 1 hand, which i think your all agree with, and only real friends id let know are the ones that fit on that hand, like sure i have 'friends' in the loose sense, but they are just people i think are likable, and thats not enought for them to know that much about me

 

[BadAndy]

Weird thing is Ive had friends i could leave thousands of dollars sitting in front of and they wouldnt even consider touching it, but for some reason some people see weed (especially weed they know you had produced yourself) and dont think twice about taking some. To them it has no money value and so they dont think of it as stealing.

well said brother, leave your grow out of any conversations even if you are talking to your "friends". Only you should know. I couldn't imagine telling anyone, I'd have a heart attack.

I do not grow marijuana, it is illegal in my state!
Obey the law

 

[smokebros]

I have a surprising extremely close inner circle of friends, extremely close.

 

[smokey green]

The only people That know about my grow is my mother and gf(gf lives with me), Thats it...friends are not only untrustworthy(not all, but most) but then they expect you to supply them constantly with the buds you strived to grow perfect, and if you dont share, then moves in the blackmale conspiricy.....learned my lesson a few years ago....

 

[elfroggo]

My husband, my sis and her b/f (fellow growers), are the only people who know. Hubby just rolls his eyes, he knows he can't stop me lol. I actually think my dad suspects, but hes cool and won't do anything, thinks we should be able to do whatever the hell we want with our own bodies long as we don't hurt anyone else in the process. I would never tell anyone else, people suck and are generally untrustworthy in my experience.

 

[doublejj]

I guess that's why all of my close friends are growers, so I never have to supply them with smoke. lol!
We do barter a lot with each other, mostly clones, seeds, & hash. We sit around by the hour helping each other trim buds & making hash.
We freely hand each other lbs. If I couldn't hand a 'friend' a lb & know I was gonna get it back, that would be the last time I saw them.

Sounds like you guy's need to find a higher caliber of friends. If I couldn't trust them to guard my grow, I wouldn't call them "friend"

peace
doublejj
P.S. I once fronted a 1/2lb to a guy & I knew I wouldn't get it back, just so he would avoid me.

 

[themoose]

^^ Sounds like I do have to find a higher caliber of friends, holy balls! I thought I was shelling out by rollin' everytime someone comes over, but handed pounds to each other in between harvest! Well now that's something I could get into...lolz....I have had Both scenarios, for the most part people are easily corrupted by greed and possibly their *addiction. I usually have 1 maybe 2 of my good friends who know about the system because I do a lot of traveling (for a grower) and have a good friend of mine tender the ladies while I'm gone....but I have had outdoor ops in the past where I've had guys I'd known for years up and bounce come September with entire crops....for the most part there are prolly a "handful" of friends who could easily find out and it would NEVER be an issue, but I wouldn't tell them because they don't NEED to know...as long as they're gettin puffed down heavy at the end...who cares? I feel that showing people your grow can put them in a position you don't want them to be in, considering how exciting it is for a stoner who doesn't grow to see a blossoming lady or 20, it's only natural that they are gonna wanna tell their "handful" of friends because after all, if you trusted that friend then you better trust everyonnnne involved.

Keep the shiz on the DL.....The only people who need to know, are the people (person) caring for the girls....And please don't grow in places your not welcome.

My friends from Cali know I grow I fly them in to help with the trimming. Only 2 of my friends know I grow here and they don't know exactly where I live. I grew up with my Cali peeps so trust is in abundance.

I have a surprising extremely close inner circle of friends, extremely close.

I have a close circle of friends also... I would trust my 5 closest friends with my life and they all know of my growing and know where I grow (in my house) and I have showed a few of them, just if they ask....

A simple rule of life to live by is don't be friends with assholes...

Last week I had 100 bucks stashed in my center console in my car... It was my money from sellin to my friends. Anyway I was at a party shitfaced, had my girlfriend with me and our friends say hey can we take your car to get beer and I say sure so we all go, 5 people, I have a bench seat in the front of my truck and the center console folds up to make a middle seat.

The assholes in the back seat mustve opened it and jacked my money because in the morning all the stuff in my center console was all over the back seat and lo and behold the money was gone.

Any these people were aqquantiances, friends of friends, who i see often, thought i could trust them... guess not. Thats the last time i let anyone in my car when im drunk.

Hey Stonerman,
I don't know how old you are, but when I was young not that many of my friends were trustworthy. Over many years you surely figure out who you can trust and who you wouldn't dare...I'm pushing 50 and the only problem now is who can keep their mouth shut, and that's not very many.
Stick with people who love you, that's my .02

Peace,
Hops

 

[highonbud]

this is totally true, you can have the utmost trust with somebody and in an instant they can stab you in the back and just like that you out 5ounces.
I trust my true friends ones I grew up with, but watch out because like the old saying an enemy of your enemy is your friend, and keep your friends close and your enemies even closer are very wise sayings I've come to find. Honestly I only trust 1 out of about 10 close friends. and we will trim harvest and work on growing all the time.
the fact is tho I've caught plenty of people snooping around my backyard front yard looking in through windows and Security systems are your best friends as far as being able to know about whats going on. and a 12Ga shotgun or baseball bat will surely scare the shit out of anybody who snoops around my property. period.

 

[mellokitty]

i find that my friends who've never grown / gotten a crop off are the ones that tend not to view my product as "hard-earned" - it's a weed, you just have to plant seeds and water them, right? *L. O. L.*

anybody who *has grown (ie. has an understanding of the work involved) and still swipes your product is not worthy of the word "person", much less "friend".
