One of my new roommates is kind of a weed mooch.

Don't get me wrong - I genuinely love the guy, have known him for a long time, and always knew he was a bit of a weed mooch. He's the kind of guy that doesn't have a lot of money but still could afford to buy weed (you know, like the rest of us) but just doesn't buy it. And then likes to ask people if they have weed and want to smoke, and smoke him up.
I just wish he'd buy his own damn weed. I wouldn't even mind it if he asked to smoke and we smoked together, it's that he's always asking me to give him a little bit to take with him somewhere, or to leave him some so he can smoke it later. The way I see it, I like to get high with people, not just give away my pot so people can get high on their own. There's a huge difference. Sometimes I'll have just smoked maybe 15 minutes prior and he gets home and he asks if he can smoke some...and it's like, dude, can't you just wait till I smoke again? I don't know. If I was rolling in money and weed I'd toss him some whenever, but I spend 60 bucks an 8th on this crazy ass strong as hell pot and I don't want to just toss it your way so you can smoke it without me.

so just man up. i had a friend try to pull the same stunt. while i didnt have that much of a problem smoking him up for his company, i just told him basically to fuck off when he asked for free weed. if you already smoke him up theres no reason to feel bad about giving him charity... your basically just handing him money.

Yeah last night I slightly snapped. I was getting ready to go to bed and had just taken a bongrip and he was headed out for a walk and asked me to leave him some weed. I was just like, "Why don't you just take a bonghit right now??" It actually wasn't even one of the times when I should have snapped either...I coulda just left him a bowl pack as I left to bed but I don't trust 'em drunk around my 200 dollar bong and that's the only bowl in the house now..

dude, that sucks. you should really let him know. "i don't mind smokin' you out man, but weed is expensive and i just can't afford to keep giving you some to smoke on your own." if he's even halfway reasonable, he should understand.

What the hell? "kind of" a weed mooch? If he isn't buying his own and he constantly asks you to leave him weed for him to smoke when he goes out or whatever and not with you that's not "kind of" a weed mooch, that mother fucker is a HUGE mooch. If someone asked me to "leave" them some weed so they can get high later I would look at them with disgust and tell them to fuck off. It's one thing to smoke a friend out and it's another thing to have a "friend" that can afford his own weed but never buys it yet has the audacity to ask you to give him weed for him to smoke at his convenience. You need to man up and tell him straight up to fucking buy a sack and smoke it with you.

There will probably be less tension between you if you go ahead and talk with him. If he gets mad about that then it's better to know just how he is before things go any farther.

He does buy his own - now and then - and when he has it, he smokes me up and if I asked him to leave me some he would do it. But it would never even out, you know? Cause he buys pot SO rarely. Usually if I buy an 8th he will just ask me to buy half of it from me. But I don't even have a scale so I'm not willing to just eyeball it in a half and besides - I bought an 8th because I want a damn 8th!

I know exactly how you feel.. remember marlin? hes got good and hes still a complete mooch. its like people have to force a couple bucks out of him to smoke... sometimes he even has his own weed and wont want to throw down! when we ask him to throw in, he will pick out a a little pinch of what looks like pocket lint! And he doesn't do that with just weed, with food too. he always wants to eat everyone else's food, even when hes got his own food in front of him! its like hes a dog looking at you when you have food. I love the kid, but i cant afford to throw extra money of pot down every time when i got less money than him.

Next time he asks for some just put a crumpled up piece of paper in a small baggy and write "Start buying your own" on it. I don't buy weed too often, but I have a friend that smokes me up all the time, by choice. I would never ask him to lend me weed but if I did it I'm sure he'd leave me with a little nugget or something just because I don't ask him for any or I don't ask him to come over and smoke me up.
I guess it's kind of mutual though, I usually supply the six packs...

Yeah. That's the way it seems to go. The biggest mooch of my friends is the one with the most money and least responsibilities in life.

The next time you're buying, ask him if he wants to go in with you on a larger amount. You'll probably both save $ by buying in quantity, and if he declines, you can reasonably say later "I asked you if you wanted some when I bought this, and you said no."

That's the thing he never wants to throw down more than 20/30 at a time. Which I just do not understand...I always would rather buy more.

Well, then he's SOL unless you choose to be generous. You'll be doing him a favor by establishing your boundaries now, as this sort of inequity can deteriorate a friendship over time.

Yep, same thing with the biggest mooch I hang out with. He'll buy his own occassionally, but more often than not he's inviting himself to your weed, and he does it about every hour. One time he even had the balls to take around 2 grams out of my bag while I was asleep, which reeeeally didn't go over too well...

tell him the things you know you should already be telling him. If you lay down some boudaries, like veritas said, then when he gets the point that your not a reliable way to get high, he might actually make buying weed a priority. If it's not around anytime he wants to catch a buzz, then his whole take might be different on it. I know exactly how you feel man, especially if you have to pay $60 an 1/8...If you break it down, every bowl is worth like $5. How many times does he give you $5?

One friend from our circle will call you literally 12 times in one hour trying to get a hold of you. He drives around all day doing nothing but calling out phones after work. If my boy's at my house, and he sees his car there, this guy blows up both of our phones trying to get a hold of us (or whichever of us has weed). One time he kept bleeping me up on rapid fire, then he's like, "PICK UP YOUR FUCKING PHONE!!!" The longest we went without picking up was 2 days, in which case he had the balls to call my little BROTHER looking for me . We still love him though lol.

I'm an unintentional mooch. I very rarely buy weed, and yet people are always smoking me up. I don't ask for it, and in fact, I feel kind of bad about doing it. I always thank the person doing the smoking up, and appologize for not having any of my own to contribute. Often I will take only two or three hits in a smoke session and then say I'm good enough, allowing other people to get the hits.
If I did have my own weed and I came across someone like your friend, I would probably find it very disrespectful that they thought it ok to use me for weed in such a way. It wouldn't stay that way though, that's for sure.

that's one area I don't have a complaint with my roommate about
we'll smoke each other out and by ourselves. if one doesn't have, we share (sometimes leaving bowls), and then when the other doesn't have any, it comes back around. but neither one of us usually shares if we're down to the last bowl or two

You'v got to man up on this one. Not so much for the weed, but trying to be the nice guy is going to create a tension between you that will adventually hurt/end the friendship. Talk to him. I just had a talk with my cocaine loving friends last night letting them know that i apreciate them putting thousands of dollars worth of blow up my nose over the past 5 years of my life. That i felt bad about feeling like a mooch, but i am almost never gonna buy blow, because its against my policy.

Why should he buy it when he can always get it from you? 
You are allowing yourself to be used. I know it's not fun being deceptive but maybe the weed needs to "dry up" in your area for awhile. Then you can ask if he has had any luck finding it.
And a $2 pack of papers might extend the life of your $200 bong.

i don't think that's feasible for omar to do. it's NYC... weed doesn't "dry up" in NYC.
i honestly think he just needs to be straight up with the kid. tell him that he's being a mooch and that it has the potential of ruining a good friendship.

Nah brotha, if somebody did that in my town, you'd get your ass whooped, or just plain nobody would hang out with you. If the dude is actually a chill person, then you should just ask him to be a little more courteous. But if he really is just a dipwad (and you gotta be totally honest with yourself to determine whether he is or not) then lose that roommate, man. If you want an eighth of some bangin' sensemilla then you should be able to piff it without some parasite leechin' it off of you. Word
-------------------- "There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far away, nearby, and invisible. And there is where God lives, where the dead live, the spirits and the saints, a world where everything has already happened and everything is known. That world talks. It has a language of its own. I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand. I ask them and they answer me. When I return from the trip that I have taken with them, I tell what they have told me and what they have shown me." -Maria Sabina

Lame situation. I bet the kid does not even realize how big of a mooch he is being. You do need to let him know, and how you go about that is up to you. But "take a hit right now" is no where close to doing that.

Yeah, that sucks. It's cool if he wants to smoke with you but bumming weed to smoke alone is fucked up. Tell him you'll smoke with him whenever, but he needs his own weed if he's gonna smoke on his own

So yesterday around noon this roommate calls me and he asks if I want to split a bag of pot with him. I tell him I'm fine, that I have some of my own. I was glad to hear he was gonna buy some. But I could also tell that when he heard I had some of my own he wanted to know if he could just smoke some of it - he was only buying some because he "wasn't feeling so hot" and wanted to feel better for work later that night.
He couldn't get in touch with his guy - so I tell him my buddy lives nearby and is going to be home all day and has stuff to sell. I never hear back from him...until 9 at night, when he is out at work bartending, and he text messages me, "I never met up with my guy - if you could leave me a bong hit that would be amazing."
Our other roommate was hanging out with me at the time and I just started venting to him about all of it. I told him about how I had snapped at him the other night and he immediately said, "Good! Noah fucking deserves every bit of bitching about his weed moochery that he gets." It was good to know i wasn't the only one who noticed.

Girls shouldn't ask for weed to take with them either. I don't think that's cool. Not saying I haven't had a few guys offer to give me some, but that ain't the same as mooching.
If I am in dire need I might ask someone to smoke one with me, I'd never ask anyone specifically to give me some (except maybe my connection, but they'll front). Chick's like that are probably smoking it with some other guy.

Oh, I'm not saying it's right. And the girls that do it, get a reputation...
It's one thing to ask a friend. It's another thing to mooch.

weed moochery... huh... at my house everybody smokes out of a community bag, its free anyway so nobody really gets too uptight about it. the comm bag is usually shwagg cuz thats what we're usually gettin rid of, but sometimes we'll have the nug. either way, nobody's overstayed their welcome as far as thats concerned around me. I'd hate to be in that situation though, cuz Im a nice guy and I'll say yeah 9/10 times.

You`re a mark. Notice by your accounts he rarely buys any, Then you pretend not to have any(for some reason you have to make lies about not wanting to give hand outs)Then all of a sudden he plans to buy some...until you accidentally mention you where lying about not having any. He has a bartending job that pays hourly+ tips(good money, if yur not an Arsehole)
if you don`t have his bowl ready by the time he comes home does he drag you out of bed, in your sleep to beat you? It wasnt free to you it cant be to him unless yur a mark.

I had a friend like that, who pretty much lived at my house for a summer. He wouldn't ask for none for free, but he got drunk n high with us like every day, and he never had any money. The most he usually has is $10-20. Then when he do have some, he's stingy with it, cause he buys so little. He's prolly hit me back like once for every 4 times he was leechin off me.
Lately we ain't been hangin out as much, and when he can't find weed, he'll come round with a 12 pk and smoke, so that's cool.

I never responded to that text...I haven't seen the guy in like 3 days because our schedules don't line up. And today he texts me at 9:30 AM saying "How about getting Con Ed set up today?" Well...yeah how about you fucking call Con Ed instead of taking the time to ask me to do it? Christ this kid is lazy.
