Partners can work, but they must first be GOOD friends, and be people with the highest integrity. I have one partner that I have grown with for several years (outdoor). We have never had any problems. We split everything down the middle. Even when he runs out of bud, because he smokes alot more than me, he will ask to pay me for some of mine. Of course I am generous and smoke with him, but we respect eachother and the herb, and most of all don't get greedy.
