Question: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : I've been a cannabis grower for years in California. When I first started to sell to shops, it was always common to look at the other growers products, and one grower always produced quality that was so much better than the rest of the growers. It turned out the producer had a Ph.D in botany and started growing cannabis with high CO2 saturation levels, well before it was an industry standard.   


As a fellow producer, his product was the only product I was willing to spend money on, as I have more than enough at my own place. As the cannabis industry has matured, his product always has been one step ahead. I've only talked with him a handful of times over the past decade, mostly trouble shooting or trying to get tips here and there, but the last time I talked to him was shortly after all the [cannabis raids](https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article207911324.html) in California last year. Many growers were getting nervous as the regulations were changing people who lagged behind were being raided left and right. When I brought it up to him, he was extra somber and told me he's had quite a few friends that got arrested in that specific sting. As realization dawned on me, I asked him if he was connected with the syndicate.  He admitted to such, stating they covered his education and other things. He sells enough of his stuff stateside just to cover local bills, but the bulk of his supply goes back to mainland China.   


His product is amazing, and over the years even my business wasn't always completely on the up and up. So whenever he finishes curing the specific strains my wife and I love, I get a call stating my delivery is on its way. I feel bad knowing I am purchasing from a crime syndicate that more than likely uses that income on more nefarious things other than cannabis and psychedelics.  I've also upgraded over the years, moving from purchasing an Oz here and there from him, to now purchasing about a pound a month. His is the only cannabis I'll buy to resell, as it never has any issues selling out and making more than its money back. So I've contributed a substantial amount over the years.   


Currently, I'm still purchasing from him every month. I've actually been purchasing more as the likelihood of him being raided appears to be higher than it was prior. Does this make me an asshole?

Answer: no


Question: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : So my friends and I were gonna partake in a big trip, I was glad to join in because friends A and B wanted to and I took the cheapest package because I didn’t know where I’d be financially in 6 months. Friends A and B were super excited about a more expensive package and friend a paid down on hers and I was made to assume so did friend B. This was last August 

Friend A eventually lost her job and was only able to get a new one a couple weeks ago so as expected, she couldn’t financially accommodate the trip and understandably pulled out.

Last night friend B indicated that despite leading us to believe that she’d paid down on her package, in reality she hadn’t and is now going with another group at another date. But still wants me to hang with her at a couple events leading up to my now solo trip that I made a no refundable down payment of $300 on


I am pissed. I deleted her contact and said not a word after. She’s now asking why I’m being such a bitch to her. So I’m confused how can I be the asshole in this scenario? POV Anyone

Answer: no


Question: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : This happened years ago when I was in my late teens but I decided to ask now because I always wondered if how I reacted was wrong (because sometimes I was an asshole at that age) or if I was justified because opinions within my own family were pretty split on the point.

It was some holiday and we were all at my grandparents house.  I had brought my laptop and I was showing some of my family members the details of a trip I was taking on it.  When I was done I closed my laptop and set it to the side on the table.  

Later that night I see my uncle using my laptop.  Taken back I asked him:

 “You don’t ask first before you start to use my laptop?”

Now...if he had simply said oh sorry...do you mind??  I would have let it go and be like SURE GO HEAD but instead he simply goes:

“No” and the way he said it was so infuriatingly entitled as if he had no reason to ask.  

So my reaction was to walk over and close the laptop and walk away with it because he felt entitled to use my personal belonging without asking and I felt disrespected.

He was furious and made a huge deal over it.  He then demanded I apologize after to the point my own Dad was asking me to just apologize to just clear the air days after.

I never did and I never really regretted that decision but...am I the asshole?

Answer:
yes
