I don’t really drink, do drugs, smoke etc but I don’t care if people do it. I could not care less if my roommate sent me an email like that despite the fact that I don’t smoke.

But Romani - in this context I think you probably would care - the context of a roomie (potentially) stashing drugs in the room (where else would she put them unless she only uses other people’s drugs?) which would expose you to possible violations even though it wasn’t yours, and maybe even smoking in the room which would be annoying to most people in the least and is unhealthy to all people and if you had asthma, could make you seriously ill.

Now, if you meant you don’t care what the roomie does on her own outside of the room that doesn’t directly affect you, I agree.

OP - The other thing to consider is that the roomie doesn’t have to end up being the best friend and 100% compatible - they just need to have a workable living arrangement and be respectful of each other. If the roomie only smoked her drugs outside of the room, didn’t stash any in the room, didn’t reek of smoke when she returned, and was respectful of your D, then there likely won’t be an issue. It’s also possible that the email or posting on FB or whatever wasn’t 100% accurate and might have been a bit of drama (or bragging in the eyes of some of these people who think it’s cool to smoke weed).
