I'm gonna play devil's advocate here..
..Weed is addictive for many people, so it wasn't just another item of your stuff. They didn't nick anything else, hmm? Seems like a bit of a cruel test, and that's quite apart from the moral implications of putting drugs in the way of 14-year olds.

This year I've broken a cycle of weed addiction lasting years that was only ended when my druggy brother moved out. I hated myself for it but could never stop helping myself (admittedly his stashes were pretty large). I'd go for weeks without then cave in and start a new cycle of addiction. My late twenties were ruined by the stuff. It is definitely addictive. And I'm not a chav.

That's precisely why I chose it...
...on account of its attraction to those who indulge. I needed to be sure that they wouldn't be prepared to theive from me, and my stash was the most potent litmus test that I could muster. No-one that I currently call a friend would take even that without asking no matter how much they fancied a puff, and these two had to qualify if they wanted to come back.

As it stands, they failed. Harsh maybe, but with chavs subtlety doesn't work.

Fair enough I suppose
and on refelction there's not much comparison with my old situation. I despised my bro for various reasons to do with drugs. He went from nicking my cash regularly aged 14 to becoming a nasty ketamine/coke-head, so things weren't exactly even between us to start with. Haven't spoken to him in two months now. Good riddance.
