Friend trying to sell me weed

[WestCoastShiny]

So, earlier today, my friend (my homie, etc) texted me and my other friend in a group chat and he asks if we are trying to buy some weed. Now, he knows that my other friend and I both don't smoke weed, but he still asks anyway. Then he proceeds to send us a pic of the weed and gives us a rate. What baffles me is that he's always trying to sell us weed even though we don't smoke it. I mean, both my friend and I wouldn't mind trying it for free but paying for it is something we wouldn't really do.


Anyways, for all the weed smokers out there, rookies and veterans, what's your experience? Has it affected your personal/social life in any way? And yeah, basically all that kind of stuff.

And for all the non-smokers, what do you think about this? How should I go about my best friend trying to sell us weed?

from a friendship point of view i think it's pretty weird that he's being so insistent on you buying weed from him when you've repeatedly said you're not interested unless it's free
it sounds like he's the type of person whose entire personality is weed or he's trying to get you & your friend to become smokers so he can make money

Basically this. Imagine a sales representative, only they're your 'friend' and are trying to sell you weed. My advice is that either you or your friend (preferably both) go up to him (not when he's trying to sell you weed, he'd think it's an impulse reaction otherwise) and tell him what you feel about the situation. Tell him he's being manipulative, annoying and that once and for all you do not want to buy weed from him. If he's smart enough, he'll take a hint, if not, then he probably doesn't consider you a friend anyway, just a potential customer.

In my view, the principle of "you do you and me do me" pretty much sums it up. Just respect both of your opinions, and if one of you oversteps that boundary, well, it's better to end that friendship, before something serious happens.

if it's that annoying to you, let him know and just hope he stops. my friends have offered to smoke with me but never make me pay for it, which sounds like kind of a scummy move if I'm honest. as far as whether or not you should actually do it, only do it if it's something you want to do. I've never done it but that's mostly because I'm waiting for an opportune time for it. I'm not really sure where I stand on actually doing it so I'm waiting until I'm more Certain. which may be very soon, may be in five years, and may be never. who knows. just do what your heart is telling you, as cliched as it sounds.

if this friend of yours is dealing it's likely that he's just sending out messages to everybody that jumps into his mind in case they want some (rookie error, haha) and that it's got nothing to do with you specifically, hence the lack of acknowledgement for your replies. a lot of them send out mass messages and hope that someone'll bite - there's this one guy who i've never even spoken to that keeps texting me with stuff, haha. although sending them to people who've said no is outright dumb. just go ahead and tell him to stop messaging you about it and if he continues then threaten to report him or something. if you follow through with that or not is your choice.
