Since I just smoked the last of my stash, I hit up a friend who Ive known for several years to hook me up. HEs always been a stand up guy towards me, so when he came by to drop off a qp I didnt bother to weigh it until after he left. Once I got around to that, it came up 5 grams short. Not an insignificant amount.


Since I still owe him some cabbage for this, Im thinking the best way to approach it is to pay him the balance owed minus the shortage. Ive always been pretty honest and upfront with him about stuff, and from time to time have even given him free samples of my own harvest, so Im actually a little pissed off that this bag was so short...

thoughts?

I would first off read what nice things you said about your friend and take them to heart and lose the attitude. Rather than just shorting the guy, call him up and discretely let him know the delivery was on the light side. If he is indeed a stand up kind of guy, he'll credit you what is short. Was he running as the middle man or is this his dope that he is selling?

Ive had similiar issues and I always call and tell him the amount thats shot. Then he knocks it off the debt. No problems. People make mistakes sometimes and maybe he was not the one who weighed it.

nope...its his...

I think the only reason I have the attititude is because Ive heard rumors from others that he commonly shorts people...I just never thought he would do it to me...

yeah, but the thing is, and maybe im being naive because I havent had to buy in years is that I thought we were buds...we jam together from time to time, and have partnered up in the past to do outdoor grows...

I've had take happen to me too.

The best way I found to handle this is to be non-judgmental, you don't want him to take a negative stance. Simply tell him (in a friendly tone) that you are bringing this to his attention because he made a mistake and maybe his scale is off or an extra bag might have been on the scale (whatever, give him an escape or excuse for his mistake). And tell him (in that friendly tone) you believe your relationship is worth more to both of you than a few grams and that is why you are bringing it up to him, but that his count was short by x-amount. Then tell him from now on to keep from bad feelings from being formed that whatever you purchase it should be weighed in front of you. From then on do not give him any moolah until it is weighed in front of you, period. People do make mistakes and people do hate to admit to mistakes.

If he doesn't give you what you were shorted then you know exactly where you stand and where you fit into his friend list.

I agree, using a friendly tone can make a big difference. If he wont honor his mistake, then tell him you will find a new dealer.

Yeah, but the key point is I thought he was trustworthy. Like I said weve known each other for years, jammed together, teamed up and split outdoor grows, and when hes been out I have given him free of charge a gram here and there from my personal stash....I would think that with that kind of history some form of mutual respect and trust would have developed...

It could have been a mistake, but like I said rumors Ive heard from others indicate that this guy has a history of this kind of thing, I just had another friend over who has had dealings with him in the past also. He said he once bought a pound off of him, and it was a half oz short.

Too much ( no offense ) but from a man to man transaction I would keep it simple. He know's he's light. So just tell him why the cash is short and leave it at that. Being that you brought it up to his attention, there is no need to have bags weight out in front of you. I am sure this will correct any future mis weighs

Dude, you are acting way overboard. Why haven't you called him and gotten a reaction yet? This post sounds accusatory. You already have your mind made up he ripped you off. I have to question your sense of what friendship is, as you certainly seem to be lacking in it. If you are so sure he ripped you off, pay what you owe and move on, he was never your friend.

If however you relay the shortage to him and he comes up with an apology and an agreeable solution, chances are it was not intentional. He obviously knows you own scales since you have had past business. There is nothing wrong with having them out when he comes over. I was once shorted and my dealer was so upset, every time I bought from him, he would pull out scales and make sure I was over weight if anything.

I always scale out 1 gram up. I don't ever want there to be a question in weighs. Honesty is Golden. Be honest and up front, see what you get in return. It's the principle.

i always tell my guy if anything is light.
he always makes it right.
be up front, be honest.
he was nice enough to give you a qp on credit,
he probably wasn't trying to screw you over for 5 grams.

it wasnt on credit....i came ready with what I thought was the right amount of cash based on a conversation we had a few days previously. BEtween that time and now the price was raised from 300 an ounce to 350 an ounce, I found out about the 350 price at the time of pickup.

As for sounding overly accusatory, I guess Im sounding that way because Ive heard so many rumors over the past few years about this guy being light with others but I never really put much stock in them because I havent had to buy weed in over ten years.

FWIW when i have some to sell I always make my bags heavy by a gram at least just so no one can complain about this kind of stuff.
