| I do think it would be immoral for someone who smokes and buys weed them self to turn in the people helping him to do so. I know that cutting off the source is important for cops to achieve and it does make sense that they would hire "snitches" to buy from dealers and let them off the hook for keeping it, as long as they lead them to the source... but I still see a bit of immorality to that- that's just me. I know for a fact that my brother still smokes even though he is on probation... And he hasn't gotten piss tested a single time though he has met with his PO on a few occasions (sorry forgot to mention that as another reason why I'm suspicious). I only am concerned really because I know some of the people that help him out and I don't want them getting busted... And as far as asking him straight up if he is... THAT is exactly the reason why I think it would be a worthless effort. My brother has lied to me before and he damn sure would lie about something like this. He's not the best person in the world... As much as I love him, he's an ass. LOL. |

| Would you kill, injure or otherwise harm someone who was a snitch? |

| The implication was not that he himself would hurt someone over weed, or even that it is morally right to do so. Buzzby was describing reality. A snitch in the black market is a person in a very volatile situation. A great deal of people in this world wouldn't bat an eye at harming someone for betraying them, and that's the point. |

| From the way you tell the story it sounds like he's doing way too much work. Maybe a name-drop or two would be sufficient... but for them to actually get him to set up undercover deals with officers waiting nearby... I mean... he should be getting a salary!

Can you feel any empathy for the snitch? Especially when they are young and immature? | |

None whatsoever.....if you are going to play around with illegal substances, you are assuming some risk. Not many people are FORCED to do drugs....its a CHOICE, and when you make that choice, you are agreeing to follow the rules of the game, or at least you SHOULD be. In the world of illegal drugs, rule one is DON'T SNITCH. If you feel the need to make others suffer because of your misfortune, you're not the type of person I'd want to associate in any way with. Its about taking responsibility for your actions, no matter how scary that may be. The way I see it, the person who snitches to get out of a simple possession rap is the biggest threat of all, and the person I'd least likely want to associate myself with. A possession beef equals probation, fines, etc for most people under most circumstances. Yet, the person they snitch on is likely a dealer, and dealing is a felony. Basically, that person is trading their fines and probnation in order to deprive someone of their FREEDOM. I'm not speaking metaphorically here....dealing is a felony, and they lock you up for it, sometimes for MANY years. If someone places their own financial status (fines) above someone else's freedom....well, I see that as someone's moral compass being a bit skewed. Simply put, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. I have no time for snitches. If you can't handle the consequences of your actions, put the pipe down and walk away from the weed scene. I'm NOT saying I advocate violence towards snitches. However, I don't understand how anyone could do such a thing, and live with themselves. Its hypocritical, and a sign of weakness...and quite simply, people DO find out when people become snitches. If you every had the respect of your peers, becoming a bnonafide snitch is a quick way to lose it all. If you value your self-esteem, respect, your standing among your peer group, and your safety, I can't advocate ever being a snitch or associating with known snitches.

| snitching is just plain wrong. Just like others said this is a choice and you have to follow the guidelines set up by our drug using forefathers. You have to respect others in this culture and do things by the book and this way your experiences for the most part will be pleasent. I have friends that have green thumbs and if anyone decided to narc on them they would be in serious trouble. |
