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?

[KittensoftPuppydog]

No. They are doing a public service.

[NotYoMomma]

public service?

[Wuxiapian]

No.

Not your business.

[Lj8893]

Even I am at public service?!

[LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood]

Yes if they are dealing.

[GingerBlackAndOriental]

No.

[SpecificRim]

Good grief, I'm shocked at some of the opinions here - being told to a grip/life and that half the country is smoking it, I really hope that's not the case.

Yes I would report of course.

[WandaDoff]

Nope.

Nothing to do with me.

[SaucyJack]

Smoking weed is no more or less harmful than drinking alcohol in terms of addiction or social damage IME.

There are millions of people who can and do enjoy the odd spliff with no problems, in the same way that most of us can have a G&T on a Sat night without becoming alkies.

[AmberLeaf]

No.

Agree with whoever it was that said the whole drugs being pushed outside school gates is ridiculous.

[Mabelface]

Yes, I would. Not because I'm bosom hoiking, but because what the drug can do. Also, a dealer will attract all sorts of kinds of people in the neighbourhood - burglars, muggers, prostitutes. As for not pushing stuff on kids, not heard of kids being given a freebie to get them hooked and wanting to be a customer? Weed is nasty, brain frying stuff and can take all the life and soul of a person.

[AmberLeaf]

Agree with that SaucyJack.

[Mama1980]

Yes I would.

[Lj8893]

Yes madlizzy I have heard of kids being given a freebie but that doesn't mean every drug dealer does that!

Believe it or not, although slightly strange, some dealers do still have some morals!

[AmberLeaf]

Also, a dealer will attract all sorts of kinds of people in the neighbourhood - burglars, muggers, prostitutes

For weed? no.

You might be surprised to know what 'sort of people' make up the average weed sellers custom base. Not the 'low lifes' you seem to be picturing.

As for not pushing stuff on kids, not heard of kids being given a freebie to get them hooked and wanting to be a customer?

Heard it yes, is it true? No.

[garlicbargain]

If this person is running a 'factory', then I absolutely would report it because they are probably involved with slave traffickers and other hideous forms of industrial crime.

If they're growing & curing it on their own, a one-person cottage industry, I wouldn't report. They're breaking the law but also taking business away from big businesses who use slaves & guns.

[PrincessKildare]

I'm with Soupdragon. Id report it to protect my children. as some one says further up the thread, it may begin with canabis but is often escalates. Report it.

[Fairy1303]

Nope.

[Snoopingforsoup]

Tough one.

They are actually doing something illegal. I don't want my kids to ever touch weed...it's not called dope for nothing!

Not paying tax on earnings.

Though tempting to stay out of it, I'd probably do the cowardly anon. thing and report it.

[captainmummy]

Amber - they stand outside the secondary school here, hoods up, ready to dive down an alley to trade. I've seen them with my own eyes - and not only weed. Stronger stuff, glue, poppers whatever. Teachers now come out of the gates to supervise - and sometimes the police are there too (in which case the pushers move up te road.) This is a nice quiet small town in surrey, so guaranteed it's happening in your vicinity

[PrincessKildare]

Amberleaf...... dont be so naive, children are often given freebies and then "loaned" all sorts of drugs, not always to get them hooked but often tomrecruit them as runners etc.

[LegArmpits]

No.

[burberryqueen]

that is horrifying captainmummy.....
half of the local secondary school would seem to be on strong weed, with E's and vodka for amusement at the weekend.
the problem here is that there is literallly nothing else to do

[giraffescantdanceallnight]

Is it not a fire risk too?
