<p>Me and my roommate get along really well, and for the most part we just see each other at night because we have classes all day. But recently, I have been coming back to the room and the stench of marijuana has been extremely strong, and pretty bothersome. Also, there have been some pretty shady people coming in and out of my room throughout the day buying weed from him, while I'm trying to do homework. I honestly don't care that he smokes weed, but the fact that he does it in the room out of my window is extremely irritating.</p>
<p>At my school, you need a really good reason to request a room change, and my intentions aren't to get him in trouble. I have no personal prejudices against him and if I ever told my RA about what was going on, he would call the police and get him expelled. </p>
<p>How should I go about this situation? I have already talked to him, but he always thinks that I'm joking...</p>
<p>How about telling him that you won’t talk to the RA about his drug dealing if he stops doing it. I’m sure he has some druggy friends whose rooms would be much more suitable for his business.</p>
<p>Once you warn him, you have to protect yourself. How would you like to get arrested and expelled if police find drugs in the room that you share?</p>
<p>I’d go to Housing today and apply for a transfer out of the room and start packing my stuff.
Reason: I am uncomfortable living with my current room mate.</p>
<p>Did you know you will test positive for weed since you are breathing it on a daily basis?
Say goodbye to any job that requires a drug test.</p>
<p>You need to report that thing right away. It’s clearly illegal (at least it might be).</p>
<p>I would ignore CHD/beerme fear factors line. Clearly your university may have a policy for dealing with illegal substance. I would start packing up my things RIGHT NOW and report this to the RA and the people who work in the dorm. There are no other alternatives unless you’re willing to risk expulsion (which may be hard to get out of since you knew about this).</p>
<p>Actually I would talk with the RA and people who work in your dorm first. Then do exactly what they say to do. This could make things very discreet so he won’t plant some evidences on your stuff. Don’t even tell him about it.</p>
<p>This is unlikely. Second-hand marijuana smoke can leave traces of THC in your urine for a day or so after breathing the smoke. However, the amount is usually not enough to make you test positive. Most drug tests have intentionally high standards to avoid false positive results due to incidental ingestion of second-hand smoke.</p>
<p>I agree that you should report it and not bring it up with him directly again. You do not want him planting evidence, and he may not be pleasant if you tell him you’ll report it or request a room change.</p>
<p>I had a drug dealer roommate one year in college. I already wanted to move across campus to be closer to my daily EC commitment, so I got a transfer to another dorm (went through about a month into the school year). This is a situation where I would apply to get out. You aren’t going to stop the roommate from dealing.</p>
<p>Bad situation. Unfortunately you risk expulsion for having it in the room. How do you prove it isn’t yours and will they even ask? Even if it wasn’t yours, you know about it. I hate for anyone to be turned in for pot, but this guy is stupid and will get caught. You have to insist to the RA you need to get out of the room and if you have to tell that it’s because there’s pot in there you do it. Sorry you are in this situation, it would be easier if you could just move.</p>
<p>That’s not true. You would have to be in a sealed room around absolutely excessive amounts of smoke for days on end to inhale that much of it. I used to have to take regular drug tests, and I was around people that smoke pot on a basically daily basis. I never once failed a test for it. There’s a very small chance of it, but the odds of it are pretty slim.</p>
<p>Some people see things very differently, but I don’t think this should even necessarily be considered a problem. The sad reality of it is that it is though. In the event of him getting caught, there’s a very high probability that you would get caught up in it too. I would at least try to explain the situation to your room mate, but don’t make it sound as though you’re ‘threatening’ him. Just explain that you have some concerns about it, and you don’t want to get in trouble for his actions. If he’s not receptive to it, apply for transfer immediately. Don’t turn him in though. There are a million other reasons out there.</p>
<p>Agreed to move because if the stench is stinking up the room, the guy must be a noob because an RA would walk in and know immediately what’s going on. If he can hide the smell and his stash, random searches won’t be risky (hiding alcohol was fairly easy from what I’ve experienced). Since my only concern is that YOU would get dragged into HIS dealing, I would recommend either (a) your roommate smarten up about his “job” or (b) find any excuse you can to move out. Look through the books and see what qualifies you for moving like medical wise you could maybe come up with.</p>
<p>Move out and transfer to another dorm during the day. Do not say anything to your roommate. If you’ve been asked by the RA for the reason, tell him the truth about your roommate and his “job”.</p>
<p>Are the counseling services at your school confidential? You can ask the policy anonymously before you go. If they are, go talk to them. They’ve probably seen it before and may have good advice. And it wouldn’t hurt to cover yourself in case the roommate gets busted while you are deciding what to do. </p>
<p>Check your school’s handbook for discipline policy and honor code to be sure you are not in violation for not reporting. </p>
<p>The option with least conflict is what someone mentioned above, putting in for a room transfer. You can mention incompatibilities with hours and guests. Even if they don’t agree to transfer you, or not immediately, it’s a good defense against getting busted with him.</p>
<p>Dude just talk to him. Weed is not even that big of a deal but I can see why that would get annoying. Just be like “hey can i ask you something” and ask if he sells and then when he says yes just say you are not a big fan and would it be possible for him to conduct his business elsewhere and that you dont want to get him in trouble but its kinda annoying</p>
<p>Drugs are bad and weed is not good either. And even if some of you think its ok to do it they will still put you in jail if you are selling it. And that will ruin your life. You will get kicked out of school and never get a job and your parents will hate you. Tell your RA and get it set up so next time he is smoking you can text him and have him walk by the hall and smell it and get him busted. But you want to do it so that he doesn’t come after you cause they might try to hurt you or more if they find out you ratted him out. So be careful but its not fair that he is putting your future at risk to make money or get free stuff. So basically he doesn’t care about your future so you shouldn’t care about him either.</p>
