Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 The teachers had a word with me yesterday. I got pulled out of class and got a lecture from my chemistry teacher: apparantly its all over the common room that I'd been unsubtly doing drugs. But I could tell that it hadn't even crossed his mind that I might have any problems. But thats ok, the warning was enough to remind me not to smoke pot. I just wish they'd have a word with the dealers in my college who make money out of selling drugs, who never get caught because they're better at lying and staying inconspicuous. I tried to explain, but they didn't want to listen, so I just left it at that.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 Yes, do it, shop the dealers! Don't keep quiet about them if you know who they are. The dealers probably aren't even using the drugs themselves so they can appear normal, they know the harm they do, and they don't want to die, but they will happily prey on vulnerable people and get their money. They sound clever and unscrupulous and need to be stopped. They are evil exploiters and we vegans don't like people like them, now do we? If you use their drugs, you make yourself a victim.
