I see some people are either blaming the dealer, or blaming the druggie...I don't think is that simple, a clear cut. Both have their share of blame...
How about alcohol? It kills people and ruins lives(personal lives and the ones around them), so who's to blame,the alcoholics or the vendors? Or maybe the manufacturers?

well said. But you should blame the drugies. I myself became an alcoholic for 6 months of my life. I drank every day got wasted on weekends no one obligated me it was my choice. I still drink now but not on weekdays and only on parties etc. People want to feel pleasure some find it on sports others on video games, friends,sex,gossip,drugs,alcohol etc. Some of us just choose the wrong things to find pleasure in.

Exactly. Its no ones fault but the user's. Dealers wouldn't exist if there wasn't a demand from users.
Banning drugs in general is a form of censorship. Its a power play for the government to keep us in check whilst instilling the illusion of freedom.

Hightower was wanted for selling schedule 3 and schedule 4 controlled substances as well as marijuana. Using NINVIN21's logic, Roosevelt and Truman each killed billions.

I thought one of the side effects of drugs was paranoia? If so, the powers of paranoia obviously failed this poor stoned-out pill freak.

Thats why he moved to Canada. Weeds legal there to a point. In Maine under 2 oz is now a fine, A mere violation. Like a traffic ticket.
Weed isnt that bad and the States a slowly figuring that out. Some states are now taxing medical weed. Whats that say? More people die from booze daily. I havent heard too many people dying from pot.

I wonder where AD got the info that they just asked Blizzard for the info and it wasn't a subpoena. If so, it's pretty disturbing that they will just hand out your personal info to anyone who asks (yes...I realize this wasn't just "anyone", but the point still stands).
Secondly, "dealer" charges can apply even if you're not a dealer depending on how much of a substance you have. This guy might not even be a dealer.
You also don't know if the charges are even true. Seems like some on AD believe that they know if someone's guilty just by reading a news article. I guess you guys slept at a Clarion Inn last night...
Me...it's an interesting story, but I'll wait for an actual verdict with proven facts before I start demonizing people.

The US law enforcement consider pot dealers to be drug dealers...and pot does not kill (if anything, it prevents people from using more dangerous drugs like alcohol).
If he is selling dangerous drugs, then he still isn't killing anyone... overdose = suicide. The only time a drug dealer is a killer is when he does the job with his own hands, a gun, intentionaly poisoned product, etc...
