<p>My good friend/roommate's little brother is living with us. He brings people over all the time. It's different people almost every time. They go to his room, close the door, and then they leave. Earlier tonight, I stayed home drafting my cover letter, while he went to a party nearby. He came back with 2 frat dudes, stayed a while in his room, and then they left. It was all a little weird to me. They're definitely not playing boardgames in there. I took a peek in there, and he got his bed up against the wall, chairs lined up, and a small fan by the window because his room "smells bad"</p>
<p>This guy got sent to military school in high school by his parents because he was undisciplined. He smoked weed, and probably did some drugs too. His brother is busy all the time, and doesn't pay too much attention. I'm usually the one to help him with homework. So tell me what you guys think. Am I right to be a little concerned?</p>
<p>You can ask him if you want, but that would be a little awkward, most likely. I mean…if he is doing drugs, it’s not a big deal. Just make sure he keeps it out of your life. Don’t be the guy who freaks out because he finds out his roommate does drugs. Lots of people do and they’re normal members of society.</p>
<p>Plus it could be something else entirely…it seems like he might be doing drugs but I mean, if you haven’t seen anything or seen him on anything, you never really know.</p>
<p>he came back with a breath full of weed in his mouth. It’s not like I’m freaking out about it. It’s just that I think it’s totally stupid to do drugs. Also, his brother doesn’t know anything about this stuff. this guy asks me to not tell his brother that he still smokes cigarettes. I’m this guy who’s stuck in the middle of whether to tell his brother or not tell.</p>
<p>If you ever plan on getting a job that requires a security clearance, I would turn your roommate over to the police or at least move to another room for your sake. </p>
<p>The last thing you want to find out is that the feds discovered that you had “connections” to a cartel via your pot smoking roommate and because of that are ineligible for the job.</p>
<p>lolz, please tell me you’re joking…sometimes it’s hard for me to tell if people are being facetious via text.</p>
<p>Anywayz…yes OP, your roomate is smoking weed in his room…and might be tooting down a little blow with the frat boys as well. Keep your nose out of his business. He’s obviously not trying to make it blatantly obvious. Regardless of your ideas or morals to drugs…the majority of college kids do them at some point or another and in varying frequencies. No need to get all uppity and start snitchin.</p>
<p>Weed is also very common and not a big deal at all. And the security clearance thing is stupid. If everyone who had a pot-smoking roommate in college wasn’t allowed to get a security clearance, then there would be a lot less people with security clearances. It’s not like OP would fail a drug test because someone who lives with him smokes weed.</p>
<p>And speaking as someone who smokes a lot of weed and sells some too, almost no one has “connections to drug cartels.” I mean theoretically if the weed came from a cartel that’s sort of like a connection but very few people in college are actually connected to a drug cartel. There are a lot more rungs on the ladder from the cartels down to the people buying a few eighths, which is probably where your roommate would fall.</p>
<p>yeah he’s probably smoking weed, but assuming hes doing more is to much. trust me, a small fan by the window is not good for much more than smoke. nothing bad is gonna happen to you because he is smoking weed in his room. i wouldnt ask him about doing any other drugs, because if he is he wont tell you. it would prob be fine for you to bring it up to him, but not to tell him to stop. just ask him to make sure it does not make anywhere outside his room smell.</p>
<p>OP is pretty oblivious about it so I don’t see why it matters. Can you smell it? I doubt you can because you have to ask if he’s smoking in your room. It doesn’t seem to affect OP’s life at all.</p>
<p>Is it a problem for you? If not, go on with your life. If it is, talk to him and discuss it (or talk to an RA if you’re not comfortable talking with him).</p>
<p>It’s weed. It’s not like OP’s roommate is brewing up meth.</p>
<p>If it really bothers you, just ask your roommate to stop smoking/selling in your room; He can easily step outside to smoke/meet someone elsewhere if he wants to sell. If it doesn’t bother you all that much but you don’t want any part in it, put on the blinders.</p>
<p>I know this is hard for a lot of people to understand but drug dealers can be perfectly nice people…often they’re just people who are well-connected, so they get stuff for cheap and then sell it to their friends. They aren’t all scary and awful. Some are, but I think the OP might have noticed something off about him right away if that was the case.</p>
<p>Ignore all of the bad advice you are getting here. </p>
<p>They are resorting to ad populum fallacies in deductive reasoning to excuse illegal behavior, illegal behavior that could place you in jeopardy. Based on your statements here if you suspect that he is engaging in criminal activity and do nothing, you could be an accessory. Any private investigator/lawyer team worth their salt will be able to link your posts here to what exactly is going on, more so public ones. </p>
<p>And I stand by my claim that a pot smoking roommate could mean that top secret security clearance applications can be revoked. I suggest that you move to another room.</p>
<p>I am a competitive student. If I knew that one of my pre-med competitors was doing illegal drugs, or had a roommate that was doing illegal drugs, I would get my team of private investigators on the case right away.</p>
No one who sells here is scary at all actually. The only shady ones I’ve come across have been back home. Many here are very good friends of mine. :)</p>
