people bum me out

Have you ever given things to people only to find out they in turn sold or made a profit from what was given to them? I followed all the directions on this site, and got all my jars to produce. Last week I gave a 'friend' a quarter, only to find out today dude sold it so somebody I know. What bothers me more is he told me to my face he was going to eat it, and compare experiences, and expand his minds, etc etc -- we are both complete mushy noobs. I guess technically after I gave him the shrooms it was his to do whatever he wanted, but damn. I'm gonna stop hanging around with that guy. What do people think? Am i making a big deal out of nothing?

Nah dude thats fucked. If I found out someone was turning a profit from a gift I gave them I'd be pissed.
When I was growing I made a point to make only enough to pay for the supplies and a tiny bit extra for all the labor I put in. If I found out that some douche I sold an eighter to for cheap decided to resell it for the $40 some assholes charge I'd be PISSED

Just tell him that you know he sold it, and that you gave it to him as a gift.
in consequence he has to pay you back the money he made and keep 5$ for the trouble of selling it for you.

Wow, what your friend did is really shitty. As the people said above me, his loss.
I supposed once you gave it to him he could do whatever he wanted with them but morally he shouldn't have taken advantage of your gift. I would be pissed, personally.
I guess if he really needed the money, look at it as your last good deed done for an old friend. Don't trust him like that again. If he wants to try your stuff, be can buy it.
Best of luck. People (even friends) can really be bums.

He wasn't ready, that much is clear.
Picture selling the first psychedelics of your life for some lame greenback.
Just tell him "no you had your chance, when its time for you to experience shrooms they'll find you." 
I made a 100 mile trainride and spent all day looking, to get my first dose of Shrooms, back in 1993.
He for sure wasnt ready, you cant blame him for that. But him selling it off and not giving you half, hellz yea you can blame him for that, question is is it worth the hassle?
Yes, it was a douche move, but that he didnt take them probably was an omen that he wasnt ready.

Imagine the consequences if your "friend" asked for more shrooms and you refused because he sold them.

yea that dude's definitey a kook.
the only way i could still respect somebody after doing that is if he actually was in dire need of money for bills or rent.
