I have heard of cj smoking or snorting coke, how do I do this? (in game of course so dont pm me complaining)
Does anybody know what exactly happens if you reply positively to the drug dealer (guy with the black stocking-cap in Los Santos that stands funny)? I think I've done it before, but I didn't notice anything happening.Will.cHmm. I seem to remember some guy in the street (in game) asking me to buy some stuff from him, so that would probably be it. You probably won't see him do it.. just get some strange effects instead.

Yes, that's what they changed the attitude of the whole game to. Originally, I believe CJ was going to be a little different. It wasn't a last minute decision to take them out, they thought it out entirely.ExigeExcelHow can R* be seen as promoting drugs when in my view the entire game seems almost all anti-drugs. Admitadley CJ isn't shunning any drug work but the comments made when he sees people high are anti-drug.
And isn't seeing loads of people looking crap and talking goble-dee-gook anti-drug?
Because that's not giving you the ability to smoke. Other people smoking joints, etc, is real world stuff, and even if giving you the ability to smoke joints or not, it's still too much of a messy subject for Rockstar to deal with, considering they have to fend off lawsuits all the time with GTA and Manhunt.gt3 drifterif rockstar didnt want to condone smoking or drugs why did they make some of the ballas and other gangmembers smoking a joint and the gangmember who sells them is either a balla guy whit a waist coat or a guy wit a baseball cap and the have both hands crossed.
They've already fended off lawsuits for some of them in the past GTA games, meaning that cases like that won't come up again. Breaking and entering houses almost did get taken out of the Australian version of the game, but they left it in seeing as it's a big part of the game, being introduced in a mission and all. Smoking drugs and what-not is not a big part of GTA, and whether or not GTA is about the freedom to do things, think about Rockstar's side of the equation. I honestly don't care whether the ability to take drugs are in or not. I'm one for freedom and realism, but it's not the biggest loss in the world.KMAren't they worried about promoting breaking and entering people's houses, carjacking innocent drivers, illegal street racing, illegal arms dealing, summary execution of drug dealers, gang violence, etc. etc. ?
Killing people ain't cool, stay in school!BlakeI'm a very anti-drugs person so personally I think it's better left out. Drugs are not cool, stay in school!

Seems so. I see where you're coming from, and it is quite funny when you think about it, but honestly, I'd rather steal cars, blow up Police Helicopters, kill people and get into a gang war than stand around and smoke a joint (in-game, of course).KMHas the Drug War propaganda been so successful that a game where you can have a toke of a joint is worse than a game where you're a thief and a murderer?
Well, that's why games are made the way they are. Of course you want to blow up stuff and steal stuff and shoot enemy gang members. It's fun because it's fun.Jimmy EnslashayI'd rather steal cars, blow up Police Helicopters, kill people and get into a gang war than stand around and smoke a joint (in-game, of course).
It's not the morals that they removed it for, it's most likely the fact that they don't want to deal with more lawsuits. These lawsuits would come about because the other people, like the parents, etc, would see this as immoral. This is a result of the way society seems to be working today, like you said. I'm not defending their morals, more-so that I understand that they are quite sick of the continuous law-suits they seem to be involved in.KMI'm just amazed that people can defend removing Rockstar's decision remove the ability for the protagonist to smoke a joint because there's something immoral about taking drugs but aren't bothered by them leaving in the ability to throw a hand grenade into crowded traffic
Why would some kid decide to go out and experiment with crack because of a game but not experiment with shooting a gun because of a game? I know that people aren't going to go out and do drive-bys because of what a character in a game did, but are people really more likely to experiment with dangerous drugs than they are to experiment with guns because of a game? In plenty of places, getting your hands on a gun is easier than getting your hands on illicit drugs. And legal too.RevheadnzHowever, no-one, no matter how impressionable is going to go on a killing spree just cause they saw it in a game.
I'm not. I think the whole legal attitude towards drugs is ridicilous. I can go down my local off-license and get some booze to get loaded but I can't legally smoke a joint? Pah! But that's a debate for a different forum.Just so you know, I am staunchly anti-drugs.
Regardless of the availability, drugs are becoming more common amongst youths, and less of them are afraid of trying some here and there, and I am including harder drugs here. At least that's the attitude to a fair amount of youths over here. Personally, I think Revheadnz is right on the ball. I think many more people are willing to go out and try a few drugs here and there, hard or not, rather than going out and killing someone, or harming them with a lethal weapon. The fear of a longer-term imprisonment factors into that equation.KMI know that people aren't going to go out and do drive-bys because of what a character in a game did, but are people really more likely to experiment with dangerous drugs than they are to experiment with guns because of a game?

Certain drugs are more of a problem than guns. Alcohol for one. Alcohol is easier to get than illicit drugs and is responsible for god knows how much violence, health problems, car accidents, etc. Yet early in the game you're given money and told to buy beer with it...Small_Fryzapart from the US (from what i can see), drugs are more of a problem then guns among youths.
I hadn't thought of it that way.BlakeBut alchahol is perfectly legal to anyone over 18 (I think it's 21 in the US), so what's wrong with being told to do something that's legal to most of the target audience?
