Do small time gangbanger 5 and dime dealers make regular smokers look bad?

[sensistar]

I recently had the really great time(ha) of chillen at a friends house and seeing the friday night dealings that go on .Im usually a in and out guy but i decided to hang for a couple hours and had the wonderfull pleasure of meating some hip hop hat wearing -gold chain bearing white kids who make the weekly trek on over to my guys house for a qp.

I never really realised he delt with this sort of characters,me and him are 30 year old semi new age hippy rave kids ,sure we listen to old hip hop and rap put we are both out of the new younger style.
He went on for a hour about how these kids go to malls and mc donalds parking lots and peddle 5 dollar bags and blunts to the high school kids .

Im not usully a hater-- but, it really makes me pissy that these little punks are out pitching weed like its crack to street level buyers..
Ive had to do the street buys when i lived in chicago but alot of these kids are doing it in small ton parking lots ...

If pot is to become legal these little wanna be gangbangers need to be cleaned up so that the average person that is on the fence about weed isnt swayed into weed hate because of the little tough guy outfits and attitudes that are being displayed in small town america locations.

thats just my opinion.

Before ya go judging these kids...walk a mile in their shoes.

I know when I was young... selling weed provided the money for me to eat

sensistar ..... agree with u completely.... ppl are judgemental. that kinda image makes some ppl think "hey if that thug smokes and sells that evil weed it must be dangerous". I think is definitely a problem for the road to legalization.. as for walking in their shoes, if u need food dont come to me with ur "hip hop" hat and "gold chain" or ur air force ones beggin for money for food. theres plenty of legal ways to earn money out there, selling weed to high school kids isnt one of them. its not the only option, just the easier one.

I second Sensi and Beef. People assume that weed is associated with gangs and violence, but gangs and the hip hop culture associates itself with weed. If society realized how many aristocratic, upperclass people smoked weed then it would not be seen as such a big deal. If a lot of people think of weed they either think of the gangs I mentioned or high school drop out hippies. It pisses me off. I am majoring in physics and math right now and I smoke weed. Society is ignorant about these things and only the bad people who smoke pot get mentioned.

back when i was in HS I saw these kids everywhere. not only did they sell dime bags to kids in my HS but ooh man did they rip you off. They would have dimebags set up and if a kid wanted a dimebag, he would get a dimebag. If a kid asked for a half track, you would get one of their dimebags. They didn't care because they were the bad ass kids and nobody would fuck with them. IT pissed me off throughout highschool....

[RamblerGambler]

Indeed. Walk a mile in their kicks. How else will they be able to ape a caricature they saw in a music video?

Theres no need for drugs to be sold on the streets, only the truely stupid with no sense of discretion do this, and yes it is bad rep to us. Then again id say dont waste your time sweating what people think.


We should just smoke weed if we want to, smoking weed doesnt mean you should have to become a PR agent for it

Sensi,
If you guys are smart you'll cut these little monsters off. They are selling to young kids and they are selling in the open and make no mistake, they will likely sell you out in a heartbeat to save their own asses. Oh and the next time you see them, tell them to pull up their damned pants. It makes is so much easier when you're trying to outrun the cops.

Bullshit man. When you're young, you have the whole world before you. It doesn't matter where you come from, you can find work somewhere. I can't stand people with that defeatist attitude. When I was 15 I started washing dishes in a tiny little restaurant making $7/h. Sure you probably make money hand over fist peddling to your buddies, but at least I know what a hard day's work is like.

So you'd rather wash dishes at 15 than have hands-on experience with basics of entrepeneurship. That maybe your opinion, but I hardly define that as a defeatist attitude. In the future you could put that on your resume, not as selling cannabis, but replace with a legitimate product. It's experience and it's self-employment.

I don't think those gangbangers kids are any worse than those hippies with long hair, unshaven with a pot-leaf shirt. At least they're working, albeit illegally rather than buying pot from the gangbangers with their parents money. Any kind of person or behavior can make the movement look bad. But hey, hey what can you do? Show you are the good example.
