Silly yet serious question about illegal drugs

(Click here to view the original thread on the MassCops Message Board)


Posted by: AdamJ1984

Hey guys, this is happening as I type this message and right now I want to seriously lay someone out. I just moved into a decent apartment complex and I am getting a horrific smell of marijuana in my spare bedroom. Let me just clarify this right now, I hate the smell and the users of it, so much that at concerts I left because of it. My building manager is obviously not here right now, but I was wondering if the police holds powers to investigate these situations? Say I called the police and brought them to the apartment, when even before they entered, they could detect it's prescence. Can I even do this or is it not possible? I really want to handle it myself but I know a situation might arise because I am so aggrivated. I am a straight edge guy, never drank, smoked, or used drugs, and I don't want to be around it. Thank-you very much and hope someone can chime in on this matter.

You can call the police, the responding officers would most likely knock on the offending apartment door, but if the occupants have half a brain they'll pretend no one is home. Of course, some people are stupid enough to open the door.

I'd take it up with building management.

Thanks man, and sorry if I came across angry in the other post, I was dealing with this as I typed over there.

No problem, and good luck with it.

I can relate to your problem; I arrested two kids the other night with a 2 bags of hydro weed the size of my head, and I had to put it in the trunk for the drive to the station....the stench was making me sick.

I hate to bump this thread, seeing as its kinda old, but I wont be able to sleep tonight without putting in my opinion- Don't Snitch! as long as your neighbors are friendly, quiet, and dont throw massive parties until all hours of dawn, just let them be. What they do at their home, which they pay for, is their business. Im sure you wouldnt like it if your neighbors complained every time you cooked fresh seafood, which can smell disgusting sometimes. You should be happy that they are responsible enough to smoke at home, without pressuring a bunch of other people to smoke with them. It could always be worse, they could puff and drive, resulting in vehicular homicide in the worst case scenario.
Don't rat them out. you should find bigger things to worry about.

Um, cooking fish tastes good, and is legal, and doesn't prevent you from driving.

Smoking pot, tastes gross, and is illegal, and can kill someone if driving while high.

Way to compare to very similar things...that makes perfect sense....

If I have my parents/friends over for company, its alot easier to explain that someone is cooking fish in the next apartment over, just ignore the smell, than it is that guys are smoking up a storm next door and getting high, just ignore the smell.....

What a horrible comparison....

Spoken like a true member of the pot generation.

right on Harry.



Posted by: Howitzer

Yeah, you all are definately right- I could have made a much better comparison rather than referring to seafood. You get my gist though. Last week I went up to old orchard beach and had some excellent seafood- MM I crave cajun swordfish.
I dont know how you can go about knockin' on the pot generation. there is no pot generation. Its been used for thousands of years, not just the last 10. And most of the musical artists you respect, have either been high while recording or have smoked pot. It does not make a person any less human, it just means they could have used better judgement.

As for the record, police dont have the healthiest habits either. A drunk driver that killed my uncle in a car crash later went on to become a police officer.

My point of view is, and always will be this- theres bigger problems in this world than people smokin pot at home. Find a better way to use your time and delete this thread, nothing more needs to be said.

It's the landlord's responsibility to keep his houses drug free. We've used this charge in the past to go after slum lords that continue to rent out to drug dealers/users.

Chapter 139: Section 20. Aiding or permitting nuisance

Edited:

Section 20. Whoever knowingly lets premises owned by him, or under his control, for the purposes of.... illegal keeping, sale or manufacture of controlled substances,...or knowingly permits such premises, while under his control, to be used for such purposes...shall be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred nor more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment for not less than three months nor more than one year, or both.

Take another hit, eat a few brownies and you'll sleep fine. So if pot is ok with you then people smoking crack or meth are ok too.Right?After all, it's theyre space.

Nah, like Harry said, thread stays. You can take a hike

It boggles the mind some of the things people will post on a pro-police web site.
Like advising a resident to ignore illegal activity at the expense of their comfort and peace of mind.

Wow. Old threads rock!

Howitzer, you are a gem buddy. That analogy was one of the worst I have ever seen. I hope you don't have hopes of becoming an attorney...

Actually, yes I do.

So, Don't Snitch is the gist of your arguement? nice. Coming soon from Howitzer: 'Snitches get Stitches', and the classic: 'Don't drop a dime'. Stay tuned for: 'Don't be hatin'

its that new math



Posted by: KozmoKramer

94C - I think one of the victims was a second cousin twice removed.
So the net - net was a single double with an option homicide to be named later.

But were they in their own space? 'Cause according to your line of thinking, no one should be concerned what is done behind closed doors...


LOL @ 94c

Rock on!!!
