Quick poll:

A person you know, not family, is growing, using and selling weed (in high enough quantities to turn a tidy profit) year round.

Would you report them to the police?

Yes I would, because selling makes him a drug-dealer, and he can and will go to prison for it.

I hate drugs. Anyone with kids does, surely. It's them we should be thinking off, not someone who is making money at it.

Use it yourself ( I have no problem with people who want to fry their brains) but selling it to others, no.

OddSockMonster · 06/09/2013 11:26

Yes, having seen the effect it can have, I probably would. If it was just for their own use, I'd leave them to it.

LadyKatherine · 06/09/2013 11:26

Absolutely would yes. And without remorse too.

fluffyraggies · 06/09/2013 11:26

I'm listening ... it's a genuine situation.

Yes

The minute we stop caring about the community is the minute the human race is fucked.

FreudiansSlipper · 06/09/2013 11:27

No

ISolemnlySwearThatIAmUptoNoGoo · 06/09/2013 11:27

They are dealing drugs yes i would report.

Cuddlydragon · 06/09/2013 11:28

Yes. Simply to stop them selling to other people's kids.

themaltesefalcon · 06/09/2013 11:28

Not unless they were smoking the putrid stuff upwind from me.

CatAmongThePigeons · 06/09/2013 11:28

Yes, I would report without a moments hesitation.

Lj8893 · 06/09/2013 11:29

But it's the people who use it themselves who keep these dealers in business. IMO they are all as bad as each other and ruining thier lives/putting thier lives at risk perfectly well on their own without someone reporting them when/if its not directly affecting them.

If it was directly affecting me, they were dealing to someone I loved for example, yes I would report them. But if it was just because I knew they were (because small towns know everything!) then I have more important things to worry about.

usualsuspect · 06/09/2013 11:30

No

animaniac · 06/09/2013 11:31

Yes I would report it - they're a drug dealer. They could be selling it to your kids next.

shrinkingnora · 06/09/2013 11:31

Yes.

SixPackWellies · 06/09/2013 11:31

Yes

LifeIsBetterInFlipFlops · 06/09/2013 11:31

Yes

LimitedEditionLady · 06/09/2013 11:32

Its all very well saying what youd do in an ideal world but in real life with real people its not as sinple as that.Real life,real people.To know they sell you gotta be pretty close to them.

FreudiansSlipper · 06/09/2013 11:33

I have a child I can not say I hate drugs

I do not like the effect drugs have on communities but we need to change our attitude drugs are around they are not going away we have to teach responsibility not scare tactics as they do not work. I expect ds will dabble in taking drugs at some point I would be foolish to think otherwise

captainmummy · 06/09/2013 11:35

You may feel differently Freud when he is outside the local school selling packages to your child. It happens here.

MurderOfGoths · 06/09/2013 11:36

Limited I can honestly say I'd report, no matter how close.

mum23girlys · 06/09/2013 11:36

Yes I would

WafflyVersatile · 06/09/2013 11:37

No I wouldn't.

Parietal · 06/09/2013 11:38

No, let it go

(I support legalisation anyway)

burberryqueen · 06/09/2013 11:38

no i would not all of you who say yes need to get a grip/get lives watever

CatAmongThePigeons · 06/09/2013 11:38

Having been in the drugs 'scene' I have reported before and would do again.
