Yes, I AM ATOT's undisputed master of bad luck with roommates. :disgust: It's not about turning stereos up too loud this time- it's about weed. Interested? Read on.

So my roommate comes in tonight from the local hangout. "How was the bar?" I asked. "It was coo. It was coo." He replies. We get to talking and somehow the topic comes up that he was pulled over because his friend wasn't wearing a seatbelt. Turns out the cops that pulled them over (2 cars, radioed for 2 more for 4 total!), had a dog who sniffed the car after my roommate and his friend swore they didn't have anything. The dog 'told' the officers that there was, in fact, something in the car. So each are taken out of my roommate's Blazer and put in separate cop cars! The full vehicle search turns up 2 'roaches' (spent weed blunts, I learned tonight) and a rolling machine. My roommate smokes marijuana! Cripes! They got the room number and might search our room at any time. But I don't care about that- I just can't believe my roommate (and pretty much all of his friends that have come over this semester thus far too) does weed. He doesn't do it in the room, just in his car when out with friends. Now I know why he never has any money and friends always want to come by to go "rollin around town".

Question: we get along, to put the situation at best. Tolerable. But I've never really liked the guy and he's the worst freaking inconsiderate slob I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. Messier than my roommate from this summer that most of you heard about. Is there a way to use all of this information he so candidly spilled out to me this evening to get him kicked out of school? They only got him and his friend on paraphernalia charges this evening, but he'd likely get the boot if they got him on possession. He's not an addict or anything, and doesn't sell. Just a "party smoker" as he puts it. So that would be hard trying to catch it. Now my roommate is all pissed because they followed and then pulled him over for, what he thinks, was because he's black and that they were just out to bust someone. "And how in the hell could they tell my friend didn't have a seatbelt on? My windows are so deeply tinted even I can't see out of the mutha f******. This is SH1T!" he says. I told him that it didn't matter because if the police were out to bust someone, it worked, and his arguement was bunk since he had very illegal items in his car. It just didn't matter. Just the looks of his friend alone (yet another wannabe Eminem thug white boy with baggy clothes and a backwards/upside down/cockwise/tilted visor on his head and a big necklace) getting into a very dark tinted, dirty green Blazer late at night would look suspicious to me if I was a cop. Sounds mean? I don't give a crap- they're both doing drugs. People who can sympathize- what would you do? Especially if there was a chance you could get him kicked out (he wouldn't care anyway) and not have to deal with him or his idiot friends anymore?

EDIT: I talked with him for a good hour about all this today, and before thoughts even crossed my head about anything else, I talked to him and told him how I felt. Yes, I called him and his actions stupid, point blank. But I also said he's wasting his life away and he just kept using a "personal thing" excuse. The conversation was never heated in the least bit, we just talked. He said that he's going to stop doing that stuff, but from what I've heard, that's a lot easier said than done. Basically he just made a lot of excuses and blaming the cops for no right to pull him over.

I do have a kind, soft heart. I just don't tolerate illegal actions and the kind of slime people who do them. My roommate and his friends are pretty despicable.

I'm not going to get him kicked out- just pissed off at him right now. I wouldn't be sad if it happened coincidentally though.

EDIT 2: Changed the title to fit the thread better.

It's just pot dude, get that crowbar out of your ass. There are far worse things you can spend your time worrying about.

Don't make him get kicked out of school. You will be doing something that will probably change his life forever (most likely for worse). There are tons of people who do weed and they are perfectly normal and not crack heads. It's illegal, but I don't understand why you are so surprised (I don't condone it anyways). Are you a freshman or something? Just get some friends and move out to an apartment thing will get better.

Hell no, this is my dorm room (I'm a senior, btw) and I've had the room for going on 2 years now. I'm not leaving my pad for some weed smoking punk.

You've gotta be kidding me. Besides, I've paid for this place for the semester- not going to just 'move out' 1 month into the semester.

Except that he's a University student living in on-campus housing. His car with the stuff in it resides on campus. Any way you look at it, it's wrong and illegal.

My thoughts exactly...there are much worse things than pot out there. And of course anyone who gets pulled over for most anything is going to be pissed about it. Ever see the number of people complaining on here about being singled out for speeding when they didn't deserve it? Yeah.

If you don't want to live with a pot smoker that's fine; just realize that your potential roomie poll just dropped by a significant amount. Nearly everyone I know has smoked up at least a few times in their life, and the vast majority of my friends are rather upstanding citizens (even if they are lazy bastards). I'm not going to sit here and argue you into loving da reefah, but try to have at least somewhat of an open mind.

But yes, if you want to get your roommate in trouble for his possession (which I do NOT agree with), then at least try to lessen the punishment. Getting someone kicked out of school because you don't necessarily like living with him is not only selfish, it's pretty damn messed up on your part.

Oh, and no, I don't smoke. Never have, never will. So I'm not just sympathizing with a fellow pothead.

Thats some F'ed up sh!t if you get him kicked out. If he doesn't done anything personally against you, doesn't smoke in the room then leave him be. As someone said just cuz he smokes weed doesn't make him a "bad" person.

I'd love that. But it's impossible/not allowed with the huge influx of students in the fall. You can count on me doing it in the Spring when people with the likes of my roommate & friends flunk out. Cost is going to be no option (another $600 per semester). The only way to get my own room before January is if he gets kicked out.

Well, you could go ahead and - to avoid being tagged a heartless beast - use this excuse to get rid of the slob that has been annoying you with his disregard for tidiness. Or maybe you could dig down in that dried up, bitter heart of yours, find some compassion for the poor sucker, and tell him he is risking a drug abuse conviction and expulsion if he goes on with his pot adventures. Would it be too hard to try to help someone you are not especially fond of? Or is it that you do not want to be socially bound to him anymore because he does not meet your stringent requirements of an acceptable roommate?

Do you really want to go out on a limb to hasten his expulsion through an (in my opinion, since he does not present any danger to you) evil act, when he will most likely take care of that all by himself?

Maybe, just maybe, there is a tiny little chance that you could talk some sense into him. Why not give it a try? You really have nothing to lose. Just approach the issue with compassion.

While reading this I was surprised you didn't like him because you found out he "does weed"(lol). What the hell is the problem, smoking pot was legal in oregon for a little while. Governer of Arizon is fighting to legalize, and major of portland is too. Then when I read you were wondering if you could get him kicked out for doing it? I would seriously kick some major ass if a jerk did that to me. Its harmless, hes not bugging you by smoking in the room, and finally by getting him kicked out your going to mess up his life. Weed wouldn't be messing up his life, you would. I am thinking maybe your the one with a problem if your getting so angy over smoking weed you want someone kicked out of school for your own good.

Oooh 2 little errors and your panties get twisted. Next time I respond I'll be sure to give my full grammatical attention. I was a little late in posting and thus did not see your response. Relax.

Illegal actions eh? Hmm I rolled a stop sign today, thats illegal, guess I am slime. Oh and the other day I saw a little kid jay walk, guess hes slime too. If the guy is shooting heroine or doing something rather serious then I can see your concern. However if like you said he doesn't smoke in your room or doesn't hurt anyone/damage anything then I would leave him be. It's his life. Again the whole "people who use drugs are evil people" gets a little old.

Just what is so amusing about that? If you don't have any words of encouragement, advice, or CONSTRUCTIVE critisism, then get out of my thread.

That stuff is not addictive. Mentally, it can be to some people. To call his actions stupid is your opinion, you just made the situation worse by cursing what he does in the time off campus. He probably thinks your a stuck up asshole hes got to be careful around because you might tadle. I don't know why I am getting so angy, probably since you were wondering if you can get him kicked out for smoking. I would have said something like "Hey, do what you want in your time, just don't bother me stoned, or get stoned around me." Give the guy a chance and don't consider him despicable because he smokes pot.
