seems to work as a plural. he didn't smoke only one shard of methamphetamine, he crushed them up and smoked numerous bowls so that he could hunt for rabbits all night long. i can see why you would say that selling "them" doesn't work, but i believe it does just fine. think of it as you are cutting the meth into baggies of 1oz portions, you would sell your dealer 10 bags of meth @ 1oz per bag. therefore, you are selling "them" to your dealer so that your dealer can get them into the right hands to be smoked, ingested, or sniffed.

Well, strickly speaking, he is correct, as the antecedant of "'em" is clearly "a stash of meth".

and how many people really care that much? yah sure it bugged me sometimes, but you change crimes. btw now that i'm done with english courses that is one of the first words i plan to forget.
