    Looks forward to hearing whether you grassed known drug dealers or the like and gave your contact details in the process - and, if so, what happened?:cool:

    I've grassed drug dealers and I certainly wasn't going to give my name and address.....

    I happen to believe all drugs should be legal. Might grass them to weights and measures if they shortchanged me.

    If someone else were to contact the council - clearly without your knowledge then this may help.

    A random person who happens to contact the police about drunken and possibly violent behaviour wouldnt be down to you. It may not need much to get it to stop and if its "not you" who makes contact you dont know anything about it.

    Does she own or rent. If rented then the landlord may be interested, again doesnt have to come from you.

    Clearly it may be harder to get action if things are basically done anonymously but as a first step it cant harm, and its deniable if need be.

    Ah...right...(to use a Welsh turn of phrase I've acquired since moving).

    I could say "each to their own" - but I've seen the state some "ordinary" drug-users were in after taking drugs some "enterprising" entrepreneur of a drug seller had left them in - and it was not a pretty sight:eek:.

    Personally - I don't like seeing people in their teens/20s looking "wrecked" courtesy of having taken drugs. I know it boils down to personal choice in some ways - but I would not want to be responsible personally for the way I have seen some drug users look after taking the drugs their dealer has supplied them with:(

    Add in that I don't like seeing long-term drug users in the same age group as me looking a good 20 years older than I do....
