If you're already on parole, how about not buying drugs? I agree drug laws are ridiculous and draconian, but maybe let the people who are not on parole poke that particular hornet's nest.
Or at least, if you absolutely must buy drugs while on parole, how about not publicly announcing it on social media? You don't have to put anything in the Venmo comment field, let alone a needle emoji.
- anothergoogler 8y agoI see we've entered "if you have nothing to hide" territory. I've sworn off travels to that terrible place.
- imgabe 8y agoWhat the hell does that have to do with "if you have nothing to hide"? I'm saying if you do have something to hide, then freaking hide it. Besides, aren't regular drug tests a condition of most parole? So what exactly was your hypothetical genius parolee planning to do with those drugs anyway?
- LeftTurnSignal 8y agoPeople either still use drugs and then use fake or someone else's piss for the test, or if they have some willpower they just sell. So that's what the "hypothetical genius parolee" is planning to do with it. It's not rocket surgery.
- imgabe 8y ago> It's not rocket surgery. Nope, it sure isn't. If you're selling drugs while on parole, and then posting about it on social media, you're going to be back in jail sooner or later, regardless of what Venmo does or doesn't make public. I mean, I understand the dislike of authority. Drug laws are stupid. But that's just plain incompetence, man. If you want to be a criminal, at least be good at it.
