If i had seen the child, then i would have had slightly different thoughts. But no child was witnessed
Forgive me for suggesting you might be a little naive, or deliberately being semantic on this issue. I mean, come on! No child was actually "witnessed"? Oh that's right, of course, after the grower takes a dump in his living room and pisses in the corner he then drops some meth and regresses into a childlike state and pulls out wax crayons and starts scribbling on the wall? Of course he does...
Look, I don't give a fuck when it comes to these things. Hell, I'd even admit to being there to buy clones/pot if it meant that kid, or whatever kid had been there temporarily or otherwise, was extricated from that environment. Making this PC argument about one minding one's own business, and not jumping to conclusions or generalising or whatever, just enables grotty bastards like that grower to perpetuate and continue inflicting that kind of misery on others: partner, child, relative you name it.
An anonymous phone call could change someone's life for the better. Even the filth-loving grower might actually benefit too from the scrutiny. Sometimes people need an insentive to improve their lot in life.
Just 'cause I break a law and grow marijuana doesn't mean I'm inflicting misery on others. I have no dependents, so I answer to myself and the law. But if I did, I'd have to think twice as to whether I'd grow pot. I mean, sure just 'cause I'd take that risk any day, it doesn't give me the right to expose my family to risks associated with growing a prohibited substance (even if it might be legal in some states of the US). It would be unfair to them if I went to gaol and imposed all that associated stress, hardship and stigma upon them. But this guy is fucking with the health of the people he lives with. That's worse than selling pot in my opinion; and I think most people would agree whether they support prohibition or not.
If it sounds like a duck, walks like a duck.... you know how it goes. Fuck it, dob the cunt in I say! Even if you're wrong that's one less shitty grower selling dodgy weed in stereotypical squalor giving the rest of us a bad name.
