no. You are causing more problems by selling drugs, and the people you sell them to, will need your charity too. You need to do something healthy, cure a problem rather than cause one.

Oh sure its a good money maker for a minute until you get caught. And you will get caught sooner or later and not just because drugs are bad but because Uncle Sam has to get his piece of the action. The United States and the rest of the world has been built behind illegal activity mainly drugs.
Now if you were a pharmacy then you could sell all the drugs you wanted to and screw up peoples bodies and minds legally with no problem. Drugs are drugs be it Heroin or Oxycotin, one is legal and the other not but will both screw you up the same. Does anyone have any idea how many americans are addicted legally to drugs that doctors prescribe for them and do just as much damage. Every drug on the market today causes side effects that will last a life time. No but people think ohhhh but pills are prescribed by doctors they are alright. Quack Quack Quack Quack !!!!!!!!!!!!!! No drug is good for you , some might make you feel good for a minute legal or not legal and both legal and not legal drugs will screw you up.
. Supply and demand. If illegal drugs were legal they would be so cheap people wouldnt be committing crimes to get them and the police wouldnt be able to bust dealers and collect the billions of dollars and personal property that these dealers have made which goes right into the governments pockets which somehow never gets mentioned. Why should they collect only sales tax on cheap drugs if they can get billions by having them illegal. Cops would no longer have a job and all the jails would be empty. Charities get enough money as it is . If you really want to help people in need become a volunteer at your local childrens hospital or go visit the elderly at a nursing home since that type of charity goes alot further than giving money to some organization in which probably only 20% goes really for the thing that they are collecting money for.

Depends why you want to help charity. If in your judgement selling the drugs will remove some of the good you're creating by giving to charity, then its probably not a good idea. Just because something is illegal dont mean you shouldnt do it, but if what you're planning on doing will hurt someone, then you definitely shouldnt do it.
If you really want to help charity, the best thing you can give them is your time. This will help the charity more than money ever could, and you'd avoid your dilemma re selling drugs.

no because although you might be giving your earnings to this so called charity, your drugs can get into the hands of children. I think it is great that you want to help but volunteering or doing something that isn't illegal and wrong would be better.

To me, drugs, liquor and cigarettes are just the same thing: whether they're egal or not, they kill people. Now, Catholic priests drink booze during mass, so WTH? Go for it. It's for a just cause. But before you do it, think about this: Do you have any idea how many lives, lives of children and women, did that rock or this joint or that shot of heroin cost? Do you know how many innocents live worse than if they were in hell thanks to druglords? Did you kow that Mexican druglords kidnap and ENSLAVE 13 year olds to keep them as sex slaves?? Did you know that? So for every time someone trips on some kind of sht, someone's life is worse than sht.

Yes, I'm sure it would generate big money, but doing something illegal for a good purpose, doesn't make the bad deed anymore good. You can't be moral by been immoral. They don't just cancel each other out.
No, selling drugs is a bad idea and definitely something you should not do.

It depends on the drug...personally, I'd say selling marijuana for charity would be fine...kinda like Half Baked when they sell it to get their friend out ot jail. Anything else I'd be againsts.

trisha m, can I ask what color is the sky on your planet. Where do you come up with such a ridiculous question. Sure, lets get everyong addicted to crack, meth, heroin, etc, turn them into criminals all in the name of charity. The end justifies the means.
If you want to help then volunteer for the charity of your choice.

Well, it might defeat the purpose of doing something GOOD for society since you'd be doing something BAD first.
I don't believe the ends justify the means in all cases.
Good luck raising money in a safe and helpful way!

What type of charity are we talking about?? I suggest getting a real job. It may take time but it's not worth taking someone's life or going to jail for.
