lol. Small-time dealers I like to think of as generally good people, either helping an act of civil disobedience and being a bit revolutionary (awesome), smoking up all their profits (meh), or trying to make a buck (smarter, but usually douchier). The larger the dealer though, the more sketch I feel about it. But supporting local business is always the better thing to do, above or beneath the law.

I don't think a drug dealer is inherently worse than someone who works at a supermarket and sells cigarettes or alcohol. It's just supply and demand.

I don't know anyone who deals drugs.  I also don't take any drugs.

In general, I would say they probably aren't doing any good at all.. However, I don't think it's the dealers fault for supplying.  It sorta makes me feel better about myself when stupid people live crappy lives and die, and I live a good life because I made wise decisions.. know what I mean?

I've got spurs that jingle jangle jingle.
As I go riding merrily along.
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single?"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong.

Drug dealers, at least the honest ones like SWIM, are in fact helping people by supplying them drugs.  Lack of availability of drugs is a major problem for the addict and when they don't have their drug of choice they tend to get worse.

They are uneducated scum.

You're a goddamn asshole.  I finished high school with high marks, and I'm a sophomore in college.  I'm far from uneducated, even though SWIM does sell drugs.

I find it very hard to respect a drug dealer.  

Why?  Not all drug dealers push the drugs on their customers; many of them are just trying to support themselves 'cause they can't get another lucrative job.  Watch the show "Weeds" on Showtime, which is about a widow who is forced to sell drugs in order to feed her family and continue to live in the upper-middle class lifestyle.

they work in a knowingly ugly business
i won't respect them any more than  i will respect someone who is involved in human trafficking
they are all working the black market
and its not like a dealer deals just one thing
think about how many people he or she may have caused to have brain damage or worse
its highly unlikely that there is going to be a "just weed" dealer
its may not be the weed thats bad
but the way it gets to you is
think about where the money is going!

Actually, the only dealers I know work in "just weed."

And the money goes to pay their rent, their car payment, their taxes...so don't worry your pretty little head, the money goes right back into americas fucked over economy.

If the government said pizza should be made illagal because its bad for you and makes those nasty Italians listen to jazz and look at our white women, would you all of a sudden hate your local pizzaria proprietor? because its "black market?"

As long as a drug dealer doesn't sell to kids they're fine in my book.

Not all drug dealers are the scum you see in movies. Actually, newsflash, usually nothing is in reality like it is portrayed in movies.

Are you kidding on this but I'm not sure.

Absolutely true.  SWIM never PUSHED drugs on others, just told them what he had.

Am I kidding about what? About italians? lol. yes im kidding. I was simply trying to replace "weed" with "pizza". Weed was made illegal because the government said it made people listen to jazz and made black men look at white women ( oh god forbid). So I was trying to illustrate a point the poster I quoted by using pizza and italians instead of weed and black people.

Haha, yeah, I wasn't sure if you were using that metaphor or if you were serious about the black market being run by black people.

What they do is illegal and they're gratifying people who have true drug problems sometimes when they sell drugs to them.

Depends, my drug dealer only sells to people he knows. So he is a good kind.

The bad kind are the ones that sell to kids just to get payed.

What would you think of a drug dealer who sells pot and coke out of her house frequently but only deals to friends that she meets on and along the way?  Never hurt anyone innocent, has a lucrative job, and has a lot of time on her hands?
