<p>I walked in on my roommate doing coke today...what do you suggest I do?</p>
<p>hand him a pepsi...</p>
<p>but really, he was doing coke? i this isn't a joke, then tell your RA and leave it at that. it's the RA's responsibility to handle it. or you could just let him do coke if he wants, but i would tell the RA.</p>
<p>I'd try to get switched out of there. At first I'd tell the RA it is for personal reasons/lifestyle differences and if they refuse to switch me based on that, I'd bring up the drug thing. </p>
<p>I wouldn't just flat out turn them over...but that's mostly because the roommate would know I did it, and I'd rather avoid conflict with cocaine users (and drug users in general).</p>
<p>yeah, i would want to move too if my roommate doesn't stop and to avoid conflict. they would probably steal from me or kill me or something. or have other druggies passin by. not cool.</p>
<p>I would tell your RA what he's doing, and ask either for him to be transfered out of your room, or for you to be transfered to a different room. You shouldn't have to room with a druggie.</p>
<p>I would ask to be transferred, but not tell the RA they theyre doing drugs. Telling the RA may end up with your roomate even getting kicked out of school, or something really serious, and that's way more trouble than its worth. As long as I'm not a part (read: assigned to) of the room where his drug use is taking place, it's not my problem.</p>
<p>Do you snort too? Then happily sit down and enjoy it with him. If not, just relax and work it out with him.</p>
<p>You need to tell your RA so you can get switched out of the room or so your roommate will be moved. If coke gets found in your room, both you and your roommate will get kicked out and also will face legal charges. </p>
<p>You've got to tell your RA the truth because "personal reasons" won't be enough to get you away from that roommate, who could ruin your college career.</p>
<p>Don't feel guilty about telling on your roommate. Your roommate's behavior is the problem, not your doing what it takes to get away from it.</p>
<p>Do whatever you have to do to get out of the room...like people already said, your roommate's crime could be pinned on you...</p>
<p>Just make sure you'e no longer in that room because both of you will be chaged with possession if drugs are found in the room. I'm sure that you can make other excuses as to why you can't live with them, without having to mention his drug use. I had a friend who did coke last year, and I never had a reason to report her, because we had an understanding that she would not do it in my room. So as long as you get to switch rooms, it doesn't matter beyond that.</p>
<p>Then again...me and like six people smoked weed from my bedroom window once, but that was just asking for trouble (we weren't caught though, but we could have been).</p>
<p>dont tell on him, thats a pussy thing to do.</p>
<p>I know that my college did random dorm room searches especially during breaks. As far as I know they don't snoop around but they did open the doors at least. So if your roommate leaves something lying around... uh oh...</p>
<p>legally, if it's on his side of the room, you cannot be charged with posession, because dorms are shared spaces and there's a legal understanding of personal space in a shared space.</p>
<p>also, how do you feel about his drug use? if it bothers you, change rooms. if you don't really care, then just ignore it and/or ask him not to do that in the room. are you sure it was coke?</p>
<p>This thread is hilarious.</p>

<p>wow, i can't believe the word "pussy" isn't ***** out.</p>
<p>you need to alert someone of the situation...I know a guy whose roomie was a pothead...the police searched the room and both students were held accountable for the pot...you want to make sure you are not held responsible for anything like that, so you need to tell someone</p>
<p>Don't tell on him just yet. Warn him that if he does stuff like that, both of you could be caught. If he doesn't agree to quit doing it in your room, then you should report him. If he agrees to quit doing it in your room, be happy to mind your own business. (If drugs really bother you then you could always request a transfer.)</p>
<p>well, if my roommate did pot, i wouldn't care as long she didn't completely stink up the room and gave me some free.</p>
<p>as for crack...not so cool with that.</p>
<p>this thread IS hilarious.</p>
<p>Look, any reasonable person should have a more subtle view of this. The real question is, how is he affecting your life? Reasons to get other people involved and get some external resolution here include:</p>
<ul>
<li>He brings people in and out for deals or for using all the time, screwing with your privacy or peace&quiet</li>
<li>He starts selling</li>
<li>He's careless or blatant about it</li>
<li>He goes absolutely off his rocker, like gets dangerously belligerent or something</li>
</ul>
<p>Other than that, why should you care? He probably doesn't like something you do, like picking your nose or always listening to Celine Dion. It's a lifestyle choice, just like a whole bunch of other things. It may be a DUMB lifestyle choice or an EXPENSIVE lifestyle choice, but it doesn't automatically make it something that you need to worry about. Judge for yourself whether it will be a problem.</p>
