Users of other drugs see no harm in people selling them, either. Dealing drugs is a victimless crime, unless drugs are being dealt to those not qualified (not consenting adults) to make those kinds of decisions for themselves.

From the article.....


"You can call it what you want, but it sounds to me like a prime example of the free enterprise system at full boar.......being halted by the army of stooge land, the black suited meanies....... American college students? A Drug cartel? Oh lordy, how long will it be before the troops march in to control the campus.......A cartel....A fuckin' cartel? First dealers are terrorists now their a fuckin' cartel? Where do they come up with these guys who speak for them? The goof house?


OK, question time. Does the legal system actually think that there is a branch of it that does not have members who use intoxicants or illegal drugs? Of course not. So what, we're supposed to be impressed with two guy's out of seventy got popped. That's really not that bad. One comment though, there will be no wait for new suppliers simply because there's a lot more dealers on and off campus than a piddly 72........C'mon folks, it's a college for christ sakes.......We all know that many rich kids are going to have heavy drug habits, right...... And I doubt seventy could handle the traffic...... Have to open a drive thru to bust the big nut on 'em........

It might well have been a cartel.

reggie_the_dog

unless they were ratting out the comptetition in order to keep the price high. I do not think a true cartel could work in San Diego becuase there are so many dealers and growers in SoCal.

LOL.... maybe a weed cartel may be difficult, but be assured cartels are DEFINITELY actice in various aspects of the drug trade in SoCal. You're lying to yourself if you honestly believe SoCal's drug trade isn't controlled, at least to a certain extent, by the cartels. Hell, Even in SOUTH DAKOTA, Mexican cartels have a STRONG influence on the meth trade. There was even an organized effort at one point for Mexican cartel workers to marry Native American women, and establish control of the emth trade onnthe reservations. If the cartels can find opprotunity in South Dakota, they certainly have power in the other "SD" which is MUCH closer to their base of operations in Mexico

I have no problem with people dealing. However, I hate the excuses some give about it being their only choice and shit. How do the REST of us manage? Not everyone resorts to illegal activity just because times are tough. Deal pot if you want, but quit making excuses like you had no other choice. MANY people make it through rough patches without illegal income from drug sales. Some of us work a few more hours, put more effort into finding better jobs, or do without some of the finer things that we're accustomed to. Don't give me that "minimum wage won't cut it" crap. I have no issues with poeple who decide to sell. However, I find those that claim its the only way they'd survive to be...well...pathetic. Again, I ask you how the REST of the world manages?

I don't necessary think its "dumb" but they way they handled things certainly was. Selling felony amounts to people you barely know,if you know them at all, is dumb. Sending mass texts wioth prices for your cocaine sales is dumb These guys did everything but text the police dept ASKING to be arrested. Selling drugs isn't necessarily "dumb" but they way they handled their business certainly lacked intelligence in a MAJOR way. AS far as "in general" just because someone thinks selling drugs is an unwise choice doeesn't necessarily mean they are a hypocrite for using a substance they wouldn't sell, IMO. Do you sell? Are you a hypocrite because you'll smoke it and don't sell it? I enjoy weed, but realize the risks go way up when you deal rather than consume. Quite frankly, it'd be "dumb" for ME to sell, for a variety of reasons. Yet, I don't feel the least bit hypocritical smoking weed my dealer provided me If that makes mer a hypocrite, so be it.


I also disagree with another staement, seemingly in reference to Blitzed' comment about the fact they had guns. Buzzby said anyone with a large stash of drugs or money had better be prepared to defend it. Are you actually implying it should be accecpted or expected for dealers to routinely carry/use guns? Maybe I'm misunderstanding that comment, but thats how I interpreted it.

Buzzby

I never suggested that it was hypocritical to smoke and not deal. Where did you come up with that? I suggested that it might be hypocritical to smoke weed and characterize the people who risk their freedom to get it to us as "dumb".

As for guns, drugs, and money, I've never met any serious dealers who weren't armed. I'm not talking about the kids who buy ounces and sell grams and eighths. I'm not talking about the guys who buy a pound and ounce it out. I'm talking about the guys with tens of thousands of dollars in product and cash to protect - like the guys in the story. You'd have to be a real patsy not to be armed under those circumstances. Dealers are great robbery targets because they can't go to the police. Being armed is about the only deterrent they've got.
