pkay to be friends with a drug dealer?
There's a guy at my college whom I know and like really well. We have a lot in common (read the same kind of books, etc) and can have long conversations. Problem, though: he deals in chemicals of the illicit kind. And not just on the side -- he does it for a living. I don't have any moral problems with drugs, though I don't use them myself and none of my friends do -- not even the drug dealer, he just sells them. It's just that I'm afraid I will have a taint by association problem. In fact, I sort of already have -- the campus housing people searched my room for drugs once, simply because he had been in it. (They found nothing of course, since I use nothing. He thought it was very amusing, but I was annoyed.) Is it worth it to stay friends with the dude, since I like him so much, or should I cool off?

i know he is a really good friend of yours and doesnt do the drugs but if the police come and search your room just because he has been in it. that is pretty sad. i wouldnt wanna be friends with someone who can get me seirously in trouble with the cops.so i say it is not worth being friends with him.ps write feedback and plz rate me good

Well, if you were to back off now, would it really change peoples view of you? They already have a certain opinion about you, it most likely wont change just because you aren't his friend anymore.

if hes a great guy, but is involved with drugs, that doesnt make him a bad person. as long as you can figure out a way to not let it influence you and look past his faults, its possible to still be friends ;)

I know you think this person is cool, and you have alot in common, but, if he does drugs, then it ain't cool to hang out with people like that. You know, if he can't cut down on them for a friend who cares for him, then maybe he shouldn't be your friend. Especially since he laughed when youre dorm was searched. I think it be time to cut him free. But be careful, if he is high when you drop him, he can seriously hurt you!

well, if you dont have a problem with people who sell illegal drugs for a living and arnt botherd by the fact that people die from this stuff every day....fine, be friends with him....but if he is caught you could be charged with (in english) helping them sell it.because you didnt tell the poliece, that fact right there may get you into some trouble.
sorry i was harsh

If you don't have any moral objections to what your friend is doing (that is makeing money from illegaly selling substances that are potentialy dangerous and lethal) then there's no reason why you shouldn't be friends with him EXCEPT.... you point out your "taint by association" problem, well it could be more serious than that - if this person is court by the police and charged for drug dealing, you may find your self to be considered by the police to be "aiding and abbeting" your friend in the course of his crimanal activatys - which is a serious crime within its self, be very cearful indeed.

You can be friends with whoever you want to be friends with.
However, you need to be aware that if he does a deal...and you happened to be with him...you go to jail too.
Guilt by association is a big deal. If you live in a small town it can keep you from getting a job, people won't trust you...any number of things that will follow you.
Cops will bust down your door, rip your car to shreds (and not bother to repair the damage I might add) and follow your every move.
I know someone this happened to. So, while who you are friends with doesn't matter to you, your reputation could suffer a mighty blow. So just be aware of this.
The fact your friend finds it all amusing doesn't say much good about him in my eyes. Would you not be concerned if this happened to one of your friends because of something you did?
That could very well happen too. :)

hey! thats kinda a your call question. but i do think that you should consider talkin to him about the consequences of doing what he does. Weither you should be his friend or not hey! i wouldnt stop. just know what u should be doing and dont get caught in the middle of what he's doing.
