Drug dealers are pretty pathetic

Sure, legalize it, I don't care really.

Well it's sad watching Live PD and seeing people arrested for dope possession with intent to sell.

I don't know.

Keep in mind, it's a drug which is used to daze your sense of reality. To relax you.

You cannot operate a vehicle soundly if you smoke it too much.

It has it's risks.

If people really need it, fine, I don't care.

It's not my favourite smell and I can relax myself with a hot bath or watching tv.

You mean drug dealers like the Sackler family? Yeah, I hate them.

The dude selling coke on the corner doesn't really bother me, though.

What is it about illegal drugs which disturbs you? Black markets occur. Black markets have always occurred when there is a demand but some special interest groups push for laws to make a specific black market illegal. Heroin and cocaine were legal about 100 years ago in U.S. Now cocaine and heroin are used and consumed in unregulated black markets. I'll tell you what disturbs me: Roughly 30% of U.S. adults over age of 30 are college graduates. Many will go on to have leadership roles in society. It disturbs me that every college graduate in U.S. is not required to pass Principals of Microeconomics, Principal of Macroeconomics, Intermediate Microeconomics and Intermediate Macroeconomics. War on Drugs fighting supply curve can never be won.

I stated that already.

As someone who does his best to abide by the laws of society, I have dealt with shady people from time to time.

There's just a vibe you give off if you are not into drugs and come across someone who does deal.

They won't like that because they may see you as a threat to how they earn money.

As a result, these bastards will try and intimidate you on the street.

I could have been killed more than once in my life because of some f*cker drug dealer who thought they had the right to intimidate me.

That's the biggest issue I have.

They choose a certain lifestyle and often carry weapons.

Dangerous people.

Greg, chill out man. You're all wound up. Have a couple of Molsons and a few bong hit s, maybe watch reruns of The Littlest Hobo.

Greg wrote:

That's great you feel that way.

I beg to differ.

Meth causes lots of problems.

You support meth dealers?

You sound really super cool.

Oh wait..

Hell yeah dude meth dealers are cool as hell-I’d even say they’re ICEy ??❄️

Some people go on meth benders for days. Some people go on alchol benders for days. I would say alchohol is worse and causes more problems.

But it's legal. Why? Well it's political ain't it?

For the most part, drug dealers are people who can't cut it in school or at a 9-5. Of course they are pathetic, they are usually the most maladjusted members of society.

What you have described is a large subset of society, which also includes artists, entrepreneurs and others. Drug dealers are a subset of this group.

Ever met a drug dealer?

I worked at a temp. agency. doing labour jobs for a number of years.

You meet all kinds of people in those jobs. Some who've had altercations with the law, done prison time, etc.

Once, a little f*cker threatened me at a job and I later learned he was a past dealer.

I have encountered a few dealers in my lifetime on the street and in various situations.

This kid's dad came to work to stick up for him the day after we had our altercation.

Just looked at me and didn't say anything..

Read an article in the newspaper that someone similar to his description/age died a few years later.

I drove this b*stard home from work, even after he threatened me.

Wouldn't have been surprised if it was him.

Wouldn't care either.

I haven't met a lot of them.

Have had two weed guys and they both have been cool. Not guys that I would hang out with or be friends with if they didn't sell me good weed, but nice enough.

I'm sure there are a lot of a$$holes in that crowd, which wouldn't make that crowd much different than any other group of people in the world.

How do you feel about defending people who distribute meth and other narcotics in the community?

They don't care about the sh*t they distribute and what ripple effects it may have. They care only about their bottom line.

That's why they deserve long prison sentences.

It's a fact that crime will increase with drug usage and drug dealers around.

Why do they carry weapons? I'd love to hear your answer on that one.

How does it make you feel if you're at a coffee shop in your community and a stray bullet hits the window, or worse, because some lowlife chose a certain lifestyle and didn't care that it could effect you?

I bet you hadn't thought of that one..

Drug dealers are losers and if you're going to defend them, you're defending scum. Get real, folks.

F*cking cowards is what they are.

What's up? You say you want to be down?

Ease back, or muthaf*cka get beat down.

Out my face, fool I'm the illest,

Bulletproof, I die harder than Bruce Willis.

Got my crew in effect, I bought em new Jags,

So much cash, gotta keep it in Hefty bags.

All I think about is keys and Gs

Imagine that, me workin at Mickey D's (ha ha ha ha).

That's a joke cause I'm never gonna be broke,

When I die there'll be bullets and gunsmoke.

And I'm a hustler.

H-you-S-T-L-E-are hustler

Here I come, so you better break North,

As I stride, my gold chains glide back and forth.

I care nothing bout you, and that's evident.

All I love's my dope and dead presidents.

Sound crazy? Well it isn't.

The ends justifies the means, that's the system.

I learned that in school then I dropped out,

Hit the streets, checked a grip, and now I got clout.

I had nothing, and I wanted it.

You had everything, and you flaunted it.

Turned the needy into the greedy,

With cocaine, my success came speedy.

Got me twisted, jammed into a paradox.

Every dollar I get, another brother drops.

Maybe that's the plan, and I don't understand,

God damn----you got me sinkin in quicksand.

But since I don't know, and I ain't never learned,

I gotta get paid, I got money to earn.

With my posse, out on the ave,

Bump my sounds, crack a forty and laugh.

Cool out and watch my new Benz gleam,

Is this a nightmare? Or the American dream?

So think twice if you're coming down my block,

You want to journey through hell? Well sh*t gets hot.

Pregnant teens, children's screams,

Life is weighed on the scales of a triple beam.

You don't come here much, and ya better not.

Wrong move (bang), ambulance cot.

I gotta get more money than you got,

So what, if some muthaf*cka gets shot?

That's how the game is played,

Another brother slayed, the wound is deep

BUT they're givin us a Band Aid.

My education's low but I got long dough,

Raised like a pit bull, my heart pumps nitro.

Sleep on silk, lie like a politician,

My Uzi's my best friend, cold as a mortician.

Lock me up, it's genocidal catastrophe,

There'll be another one after me!

A hustler.

Hustler.

H-you-S-T-L-E-are hustler.

It's all political.

If drug dealers are so confident, they should enter politics and push for the changes that will allow them to roam free.

One guy tried that in Columbia, you may have heard of him.

Didn't work out so well for that guy.

This rap is a form of hustle that doesn't bother me like a meth dealer's hustle

I don't know who wrote that but whatever all the power to them

That's actually not a fact.

Case in point: Norway.

Case in point: Portugal.

See Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs by Johann Hari.

There is no such thing a drug dealer.

That may be true of drug dealers, but the post to which I was replying suggested that if you can't do well in school or in a 9-5 job, you are a, "pathetic maladjusted member of society", when that is clearly not the case.

Liquor stores are drug dealers, but they are regulated. You know what you are buying, and if they sell you anything that harms you in a way other than about which you were warned, you have recourse. None of this holds with a drug dealer.

Drug dealers are the apotheosis of the free market - they supply a product for which there is demand, and they compete without any government picking the winners. A libertarian dream come true, non?

Great career to end up murdered or in prison. They are scum of scum.

You don't like competition doc? It was fashionable for licensed medical doctors to distribute opioid based drugs. Now it's fashionable for medical doctors to encourage patients to suck up the pain sans opioids. The black market will provide opioids in order to meet market demand. OP is too emotional regarding this issue. Your response is also emotional doc.

I take back what I said about not caring about the legalization of marijuanna.

A woman was killed driving a moped in my neighbourhood in the last year.

She died because a male driver was presumably high behind the wheel.

He was charged for that.

Canada legalized marijuanna and people talked about this kind of thing happening before the legalization went through.

This kind of thing ended up happening.

Marijuanna may be enjoyed by many people.

That doesn't change the fact people who use it may not use it responsibly.

First pathetic drug dealer I thought of was Shkreli. He's probably the worst.
