Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

when i first saw a headline yesterday about rescheduling it, i assumed it was a move to legalize federally and thought it was a cynical but "probably effective" move to appeal to the "youth" (under 50) vote and shore up support for Genocide Joe.

then i saw it was a discussion about moving it to class 3. blows vuvzela

anyway, looking shit up, it's INCREDIBLE how much the establishment still hates and fears LSD. federal laws for trafficking based on amount (i.e. if you have more than the amount listed, you are charged with trafficking and can be get up to 20 years in prison.

  • cocaine: 500 grams (more than 1 lb)
  • heroin: 100 grams (~quarter lb)
  • crack: 5 grams (~ about as much as a nickel)
  • LSD: 1 gram (a fart in the wind)

Pretty sure those dipshits weigh the paper, geltab, vial, sugar cube, etc.

Back in the day, I had friends get busted with edibles and the pigs weighed the full thing and charged them for the weight of the cookie as if the cookie was a small brick of weed.

[–] NPa@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

Yeah sounds about right, I remember pigs here also charging people for the full weight of a joint instead of just the actual weed in it

[–] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Yes, but hardly anyone actually has it in powder form, so I'm 99% sure law enforcement would be counting the weight of the paper blotter if they're hoping to screw someone over. They certainly have done that with cannabis - not just the nugs but any paraphernalia or full brownies will be put on the scale and they'll be charged with pounds of weed or whatever.

Drug-sensitive cops that can od from fentanyl two states over coming into contact with a gram of pure LSD crystal and immediately achieving 5-dimensional dog shooting capabilitiesdo-not-do-this
