How have you "broken up" with your weedman?

Now, I realize that some of us here, especially the younger ones who have grown up in legal states or countries, or those who have had the luxury of growing their whole life, or having members of their family grow, but for a great majority of us, at one point in time in our lives, we've all had a "weedman" "weedwoman", or in this day and age a "weed (whatever they choose to identify as)". Even in this day and age, in between harvests, and/or people just simply not preferring to pay dispensary prices or aren't happy with the quality, many of us still at times have no other option than to get it from your (hopefullly) friendly weedman.

Now, I'm curious. For those of you who have had to terminate your relationship with your "weedman", at least in terms of customer/seller relationship, how have you gone about it?

For me, in the past, when I've had to move on to one to the other, and there was no real friendship beyond strictly business, the reasons for moving onto another source were either cheaper prices and/or higher quality, in which case, I'd simply tell them straight up that their prices suck, and they are no longer of use to me.

With my current "weedman", he has become more than just a weedman. A good friend and confidant who I can DM at virtually any hour and talk about virtually any subject. He has also been there for me during dark periods of my life, not only with herb, but with great advice and encouragement.

Since I have a harvest approaching, and will no longer have to depend on him, and he will be losing me as a client, in order to cease the buyer/seller relationship but to remain on good terms, I plan on gifting him one of my plants, letting him pick one out, and harvest it, trim it, and dry it himself if he'd like, unless he'd rather let me do that part for him. I think that is a good way and something I don't have to do, but want to do, for the simple fact that he is a really kind individual that is more than just my "weedman".

What are your experiences when you've been faced with the same "dilema"?

Peace and Love,
Tetra

IDK i wouldn't do anything personally.... as a friend, if he is actually a friend he would understand if you don't need to buy from him anymore, for whatever the reason, and you don't need to explain yourself.
If he did find it a problem, he isn't really a friend.
Does he invite you into his grow just because you are friends?

I 'm happy to say that I have bought dope twice in my whole rather extended life.

My Scots birth may be to blame for this paucity. (Y'know that Scots hang on to their pennies dearly ...)


Whatever the reason it seemed to me that when I looked at that ounce bag ... and in the day it really was a weighed ounce ... Griffith heads for those who remember ... I could not see that it was worth $30. No way! It was just plant material and damned if I was going to pay such exorbitant money to get high!


So I 've been growing my own ever since and I 'm still getting better at it ...


Ooroo ...

So, to tell him you won't buy from him anymore.....


After you've been giving him your money you are going to give him something you worked to produce, something which he may sell to someone else for their money?

Over the years I've had plenty of suppliers. It was always understood that if I had access to better/cheaper stuff elsewhere, well business is business. It is a business transaction after all. And unlike crack dealers, weed dealers don't tend to get territorial and shoot each other. In my experience, they usually know each other. When I was slinging it in the 80's, I knew at least 4 or 5 other dealers. We all knew each other and shared a customer base to some extent.

Is that where you got your magic bean?

No, he is one of those individuals who believes Krippy to be toxic, dangerous, evil, etc... and refuses to smoke and deal it. The magic bean was from free Krippy from my neighbor who deals krippy as a side hustle, but only in small amounts. I have no idea what his real job is. I should clarify, he isn't really my neighbor. He rents a room at my neighbors house. So same thing basically, I guess, but my "real" neighbor always rents out rooms temporarily to people from outside of the city who are in the city for work, so the guy I got the magic bean from will unfortunately be gone soon probably. Oh well. Got what I was looking for.

The reason I have made the choice to give him one of my plants, is not because I've been his customer. He has GIVEN me weed free of charge on multiple occasions, he has fronted me weed countless times, every time I have had a complaint or issue, he's fixed it, makes sure to always give me the best buds, as well as being selfless and giving me the last of his personal stash when he's out of what he has for sale.

Apart from that, we share stories, recipes, and gift each other things such as various fruits, snacks, food, and restaurant recommendations. In my 8 years living here in my native country, he is the first and only person that I feel is genuinely kind and genuinely appreciates me, not just as a client, but as a friend.

I didn't make this thread to ask "do you think this is a good idea?" I simply explained an instance on how I PERSONALLY am going about this specific incident of no longer being a client.

As the title of the thread clearly reads, "How have you "broken up with your weedman?"

I would just gift him some weed if he has helped you. I would give him a sample of each plant rather than let him choose possible your best plant. Most people never even return the favor so I'm sure he will be grateful.

Oh, well I didn't mention that I have plans to keep the best for myself, whether it be in terms of yield or terp profile, but your idea is a much better idea. Thank you for being one of the few who has contributed something useful to this thread, however this thread isn't about me and my choice of my current situation. The thread is for people to share their own personal experiences with how they've ended their client/seller relationship and if they remained friends, or if it was more of a "fuck off" type of thing, or if the dealer felt some sort of way about it.

wtf are you talking about? 1. I had to google what tintin characters are. 2. what does a series of 24 comic albums have ANYTHING to do with cannabis, or the thread?

The guy is a regular troll here. Just ignore it and carry on. Mods should be along shortly to clean the thread up!

No, he doesn't grow, and he's more of a middle man than an actual dealer, in that he has to re-up constantly and never has any more than an oz. at best at any given time. He mostly just sells 1 gram and 3 gram bags. But he has done many other things for me unrelated to weed which is why I've made the choice I've made. In my opinion, he deserves it, and I am doing it out of kindness with nothing expected in return. This is a very distinct and deep situation, as well as somewhat personal, which is why I am asking for OTHER peoples experiences.

Yeah I looked through his posts and see he just joined and has contributed nothing positive to ANY thread, and nothing cannabis related. Hopefully he or she will be removed soon, as said individual has turned a 1 page thread into a 3 page thread due to their spamming of unrelated BS that I'm sure no one but themselves wants to see. Thanks for the heads up.

Peace and Love,
Tetra

MODS can you PLEASE do something about this individual "TheirCheating" as what they are doing is NOTHING BUT SPAM. Check their post history and join date. They are destroying what could be an otherwise good thread as well as destroying others as well.

:laughing: problem solved, at least temporarily, it's just a recurring troll, report his posts and he's gone for a while, pray he gets hit by a car or inhales a seed or something.:tiphat:

if it was me, i would just sell him weed at insanely cheap prices if he is a middleman dealer and not growing his own. maybe if he was cool enough, i would offer to teach him to grow. i think that would be a great way to pay back any kindness. you know that saying, give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime?

There's no way I'd teach a middle man to grow.for one that's just risky.and two,it's just risky.hes gonna sell your gear to other people.and they are gonna know you grow.not worth the risk.just give him a couple buds or something.no need to throw yourelf out there and let the whole world know you grow.

don't expose yourself

don't break up with the weedperson, can be useful in the future

if you want to "pay back", give some buds, tell it's from a friend.
