Would you report - yes or no?

[fluffyraggies]

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?

[Lj8893]

captainmummy if that was the situation then yes I would report, purely for the drug pushing!

But if someone is quietly selling drugs to people going to them, no pushing involved whatsoever, then I would see it as none of my business.

[shrinkingnora]

PM me the details and I'll do it.

[AFishWithoutABicycle]

No

[FreudiansSlipper]

I would certainly report someone selling drugs to children outside a school i see that more as pushing that is not what the op asked

[WafflyVersatile]

Time and again experts advise making it legal. This person probably hasn't the slightest need to hang about selling drugs to kids. I doubt he can keep up with demand from adults who can choose whether they want a spliff or a glass of wine or whatever.

Wine is just as harmful to many people. Even naice middle class people knocking it back at home while judging others.

[TheSmallPrint]

yes

[burberryqueen]

yes me too but that is different, was not in the question at all.
at my kids infant school one dinner lady was selling speed in the playground to the mums and dads, i reported her offc.
if someone is selling weed to their mates, leave it alone imo

[SquirtedPerfumeUpNoseInBoots]

Yes

[burberryqueen]

the whole meme or trope of the drug dealer at the school gates waiting to get kids hooked is a bit whiffy anyway

[Ezza1]

Depends who is growing it, where they are growing it, what sort they are growing and who their market is predominantly is.

[comingalongnicely]

Not generally, no...

[SoupDragon]

No, because if people choose to buy it then that's thier choice.
They arnt pushing it on anyone.

You have a very naive and sanitised idea of drug use and addiction.

[NotYoMomma]

I dont think people who would report a drug dealer should 'get a life', thw people who jusy turn a blind eye should maybe start caring about their communities

[Lj8893]

I was talking about the dealers I know soupdragon

I have a very strong knowledge and experience of drugs/dealers/pushers etc and am not naive about it in anyway Thankyou very much.

[greenbananas]

This is a really difficult one.

I lost about 10 years of my life to my addiction to weed. Since that time, I have worked with many young people who smoke weed, and I know how much damage it can do.

What do you think, in your heart of hearts that you ought to do?

[SaucyJack]

Er, no.

Half the bloody country is smoking it.

It's not something I can be bothered to get my panties in a wad over.

[fackinell]

If I thought they wouldn't suspect me and then yes, definitely. Weed can lead you to other things and can exacerbate MH probs. I have a friend with severe MH probs after starting with weed. It's ruined her life and that of her children.

[AuntieStella]

Selling? Yes, report.

[NotYoMomma]

half the country used to smoke tobacco despite the awful side effects. I cant believe so many people dont care

it can cause paranoia and people gwt addicted. I hate how its become almost normalised. how are peopke supposed to protwct their kids if half the peopke see it as normal or cool?

pisses me off

[Jengnr]

No.

[captainmummy]

In Spain you are allowed to grow 5-6 plants for your 'own use'. We have friends who do this, and I am a bit only because they also have a >5yo dd.
My dps NDN went to prison for 6 months for growing it - his brain is fried and he is abusive and violent to everyone around him due to the Extra-Strong 'skunk' he has smoked for decades.
Neither of these 'push' it; it is for their own use, so I am reasonably ok with it -BUT I have also seen 'friends' go from smoking a 'bit of weed' to smoking coke within a year. Lives are ruined, there is no way back (or forward).

If he is selling, report.

[NotYoMomma]

my fat fingers and phone seemed to have conspired against me

[fluffyraggies]

green in my heart i think i should. I'm not sure what's stopping me.

I don't know exactly who it gets sold to. He has allot of buyers.

[nextphase]

Yes, report. Weed killed my brother.
If I could stop another set of parents posibilily loosing their child, I'd report in a flas.

[Pendeen]

Yes certainly. They are drug dealers.
