Thread: Apartment neighbors doing drugs?

Pharmacists deal drugs that (justifiably or not) purport to treat illnesses so I don't know how you can equate them with street dealers. Also liquor stores don't tend to play booming dubstep at the dead of night to disturb everyone's sleep.
These guys may not necessarily deserve the disproportionately long prison sentences that they would get if it turns into a drug bust but they still sound like self-centred assholes.
That being said, I agree with the idea of an anonymous letter but keep the tone firm and imply that there will be trouble if they make too much noise again. People who behave like what you are describing are not a polite kind and need a healthy dose of fear to boost their memories, especially if they are routinely intoxicated. Just don't go overboard or anything, the key tone is polite firmness.

They might not realize how disruptive they are being. Large groups can be loud without any one person thinking he/she is being loud. There is no reason at this point to take a hostile or even firm tone. They might just need information. My point about pharmacists and liquor store workers is that they sell drugs. That alone does not make anybody evil. If you think selling certain drugs is evil, the logic would have to apply to alcohol. Making a lot of noise is a separate issue.

If street dealers started to claim that they were selling what they were to treat illnesses, would that make what they were doing any better? People get prescribed pharmaceuticals for the sole purpose of abusing and selling them quite often, not to mention pharmaceutical companies control a lot of the media in order to cement their niche in the market instead of allowing better alternatives that are safer and more effective to take their spot and make their money. Don't try to paint things like a pretty picture when they really aren't.

As far as your neighbors go, dragonsword, I agree with kadie. What is making you think they are using drugs? You've got not reason to assume that. Some of the responses in this thread are really laughable, the amount of unwarranted speculation is hilarious. Alcohol seems like the most likely suspect, given it is legal, many people enjoy getting drunk, and slamming of doors and loudness are common signs of alcohol usage. How many people in this thread have even used the drugs they are talking about? I've tried just about everything and all I can say is most of you who are assuming they are using meth or something else ridiculous sound like you are flapping your gums when you really don't have any idea what you're talking about. Perhaps you have tried those drugs, maybe I am wrong, but I've heard people talk about what they think meth and other drugs do when they'e never taken it and what they say is usually pretty out there, and your (not referring to just one person) posts remind me of those people. In short, don't just make assumptions about people based off the libel you've been spoon-fed in school and on the television about drugs and their (ab)users, all of it is garbage and propaganda designed to control the way you think and scare you. Only bits and pieces of what winds up in this drug awareness propaganda actually contain factual information, or factual information that isn't used in purposefully deceptive ways to manipulate the populace into fearing drugs.

So are you telling me that the distinction between pharmaceuticals and street drugs is only that one is illegal and is marketed for recreational uses and other is legal and is marketed for treating illnesses because last time I checked, pharmaceuticals don't tend to be sprayed with additives like fibreglass to give them more apparent bulk. I also don't recall a dealer complaining about all the FDA regulations he had to follow in order to set up shop. Hey, remember that time where that one street drug lengthened the average life expectancy of HIV positives from a few weeks to more than 40 years? No? Me neither.

However, if you want to believe the reason why people choose the drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies over those produced by people (who's knowledge of chemistry and biology is at best variable) is solely because of the former's grip on the media and matters of legality, you're free to believe what you wish.

WTF DeviantThinker! Do you really know what you are saying? Aderol and Ritalin are legal Crack. We as a whole world practically gave it to our kids thinking it wold calm Johnny down and help him think. Now a generation of twenty and thirty something year olds use meth and crack and coke so they can fucking calm down! On the other end of the spectrum Xanax is used for anxiety and is as addicting or more so than heroin. People OD on that shit all the time. We give billions of dollars to the pharmaceutical conglomerate Quarterly around the world and Thousands upon thousands of people die from prescription drugs every month and you back up the fucking FDA?
