connie springer found himself crushing on one of his pretty little college girl clients . . . it started when you discovered him through a mutual on campus who deemed he produced the best quality weed in the area and in addition, he was undeniably sexy. curiosity swarmed your mind to see if the weed he was really all that.

even though you rarely indulged in smoking—the only times being for anxiety relief, you got his number and worked up the courage to text. agreeing on a time for his delivery, you sat on your porch, heart pounding through your chest while anticipating his arrival. and he pulled up a little after twelve-thirty am blasting xavier wulf, disturbing all your poor sleeping neighbors. nervously approaching his coupe as he rolled his five percent tinted window down simultaneously lowering the music to a normal level.

"yo, what you doin' buyin' from me, lil' college girl?" was the first thing the brunette-headed beauty said to you. connie's hazel eyes shamelessly trace your plush brown skin body from your fresh goddess braids to the white painted toes in your christian dior sandals.

immediately, his masculine musk mixed with marijuana swarmed your nose and overstimulated your senses making you dizzy. connie leaned back comfortably in his seat and no seat belt in sight, he now tucked his hands into his grey nike sweats, revealing the inseam of his red psds and a glimpse of his perfectly sculpted abdomen. tattoo sleeves ran up both of his muscular arms all the way to his chest.

"the others at yo school usually want rocks, but it's only green ova here." he spoke in a deep tone with a slightly foreign accent, licking his plump cotton candy lips after speaking and slightly showing the blinged-out grills secured to his teeth.

"boy, what the hell? i'm not here for cocaine, that's not what my people do." distraught and snapped out of your daydream by his reply, you painted an almost disgusted look on your face and his laughter erupted throughout the car.

between his laughter, he subtly apologized and continued on with the deal. you apprehensively played it off as you had a big test the following day and simply needed something to calm your nerves, knowing damn well you just wanted to see the infamous sexy dealer in your college town up close.

"oh, word? that's wassup mami. te deseo buena suerte."

he slid an extra ounce in your bag and shrugged it off as a miscount, but the real reason simply being that he was enticed by your beauty. a few days later, before you even finished what you already had, you called him up for another eighth just so you could see his gorgeous face again.

after delivering to you numerous times, he finally asked you out on his version of a date, which was matching in front of a breathtaking view, talking about aliens n conspiracy theories, and after, treating you to whatever munchies craving you possessed.

eventually, connie cautiously opened you up to his world, sometimes allowing you to accompany him on his late-night deliveries whenever you had insomnia. it was definitely different from what you'd known, you wondered to yourself how you, the girl who completely devoted herself to her school, producing top-of-the-line grades, came from a supportive and loving family, ended up skipping class to ride passenger princess in a sexy drug dealer's bmw who knew nothing but the streets.

you knew it was bad and so did he, you two had no business being together, but it was just something about you—something about him.

from you being so oblivious to his street slang and always following up with, "um connie . . . what does that mean?" and vice versa, the way you articulated words only captivated him more, asking you to educate him on their meanings and slowly applying them to his lingo. he admired how you spoke properly regardless of your black friends accusing you of being white-washed because of your pwi.

eventually, he taught you how to weigh his loads, putting your own touch on them by packaging them into pink plastic baggies with their name, amount, and a heart around it.

"mami, they gon' think i went all soft and shit now," is what he told you every time regardless of him finding it adorable.

he thought your innocence and intelligence were alluring and for your sake, he knew he should've kept it strictly professional business, but he wanted to ruin you.

his aspiration only grew larger after one night, participating in a mini competition amongst yourselves to see who would tap out first while smoking as many blunts as possible.

your deep brown eyes were low n red after two, ready to quit due to the feeling of immense drowsiness. feeling as if you were on another planet, you brazenly confessed a few secrets of yours before falling asleep in his arms—one being that you had never had sex before. the thought of connie popping your sweet cherry made him brick up instantly. he would’ve took you right then and there in the backseat of his car, but he wanted you to be completely conscious for it.

teaching you his ways was only the beginning, not only did he want to corrupt your mind, he desired to take over your entire body like a vicious plague.

you sheepishly admitted that being in his scene terrified you but he assured you, "i promise nothin' will happen to you as long as you wit me, mamacita."

he later conceded to you that he was always strapped with his glock-19 and in a way, that made him even sexier. he pulled the weapon out of his baggy sweats and laid it on his lap for you to comprehend. you blurted out asking if he had ever used it on someone.

"ignorance is bliss, ain’t that right, bae?” giving you a small smile alongside a chuckle, continuing on with his delivery route as if nothing happened.

he dropped you home later that night and it was spent under your baby pink silk sheets, one hand tightly resting on your breast, the other rubbing over your aching clit. soft mewls of his name escaped your lips while fantasizing about him holding his loaded gun to your head, finger just shy of the trigger as he fucked you dumb. you messily came undone all over yourself and from that day on, your worries about safety never resumed.

the next thing you knew, connie's plan had you exactly where he wanted you to be. his big body hovering over your adorably small one in comparison and looking down upon you hungrily with low bloodshot eyes, making you indecisive of if the sight was sexy or terrifying, or both.

legs spread onto the dip of his buff shoulders, gold anklet dangling in his face and his precum-soaked tip aimed at your entrance. it was everything you had fantasized about; thick, circumcised, and pretty. veins protruding from the base to his baby pink tip, the same color as your thong he pulled aside.

"wait! wait—connie, before you continue, i need to tell you something.” the fear was evident in your eyes, shakily placing your small chubby hand on his toned lower stomach to avoid him proceeding further.

"oh, that you're a virgin?"

"wait, wait what?" eyes widening, your brows lowering with confusion.

"you do lots of talkin' when you're high, but even without you tellin' it was obvious." his copper eyes briefly shifted towards the chastity ring that never left your finger.

"fuck you, connie."

"oh yea? fuck me, baby? nah, fuck you."

audibly gasping at the sudden aggressive shift into your slit and taking in all of his inches. a smug grin painting his face once he watches the pretty virgin trying to adjust to his length, the stretch embarrassingly being nearly unbearable for you.

"t'hurts," your brown irises rolling to the depths of your skull and he needily bucked his hips against you, balls deep inside of your pussy, slapping against the fat of your ass with no remorse.

“c–connie it’s t’much . . . i can’t.” while gripping onto the sheets as if your life depended on it, light tears swell your sweet doe eyes and your eyelashes meeting with your flushed cheeks from tightly clenching your eyes shut. your pussy crying for him as well, coating his cock with sticky cream ring.

"awn you can't take it, baby? i thought it was fuck me though, right?" he purred in a condescending tone, his russet eyes narrowing before increasing his pace, watching the way your pussy swallowed his dick whole.

"m'sorry . . . connie, m'so so sorry, please."

"m'so sorry," connie embarrassingly mocks your tone creating nearly the same pitch as your shaky voice. his veiny hand wrapped around your neck restricting your breath to a minimum and making you dizzy while soft mewls slithered out of your lips, pain mixing with a foreign feeling of pleasure.

"actin' so innocent all the damn time n yet here you are, pretty pussy creamin' all over my dick." his words spilling from his lips like an addictive poison to your brain.

"ease up f'me princesa, with you clenchin' like that m'not gonna last long." connie's voice coos in your ear as he positions your legs all the way over his shoulders to allow him to plant harsh kisses on your bruised cervix to where you couldn't think straight. gripping your plush thick body in the sweaty palms of his hand and squirming underneath his weight. the room filled with lewd sloppy squelching noises from your pussy suctioned onto the length of his shaft.

your short french tip nails dug into his sweat-glistened skin leaving crescent moons behind and you weren't even fighting back anymore, you embraced it. nuzzling into his chest and wrapping your hands around his neck as he thrusts inside of your tummy.

"oo my gosh, connie. m'gonna cum." your arch faltering, yearning for the sweet release that doing it yourself could never fulfill. his hips angled directly at your sweet spot sending warm n fuzzy shocks through your body.

his dick twitched inside of you and you knew he was close as well based off of his sloppier thrusts. so pussy drunk from your sopping cunt he didn't even hear you talking, he just continued with his pace.

your core tightened and the utmost sensational orgasm ripped out of you. it only took a few more weak strokes to lead to his thick sticky ribbons of goo shooting inside of you and painting your walls completely white.

"connie . . . do drug dealers have hookups to plan b's too?"

Lawrence Greggs, Colorado inmate 181504, born 1995, incarceration intake in 2018 at age 21; scheduled for parole consideration on 05/07/2075 with full release on 05/07/2095

Murder, Robbery

In 2018 before Eighth Judicial District Court Judge Julie Kunce Field sentenced then 21-year-old Lawrence Greggs for second-degree murder and aggravated robbery she acknowledged that nothing she handed down could ever be true justice.

Justice, she said, would be to roll back the clock and allow for both Fort Collins victim Devon Smeltz and shooter Greggs to continue to live their lives.

"But I can't do that," she said.

She instead handed down a sentence that she thought was as close an approximation to justice as she could find: 80 years, the maximum sentence for Greggs' charges, in the Department of Corrections.

Greggs and two other co-defendants from Ohio were arrested for robbing and killing Fort Collins resident Devon Smeltz in a "drug deal gone bad."

Greggs and co-defendant Michael Gresham had made a plan to drive from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Colorado to purchase cocaine from Smeltz, and according to statements made to police, at the last minute, co-defendant Joshua Baker joined them to get out of his house.

The three met Smeltz in the early morning hours of Aug. 26, 2016, in the Timnath Walmart parking lot. Based on testimony from Fort Collins police detective Siobhan Seymour, the defendants, whose stories conflicted, stopped in Kentucky to pick up an AR-15-style rifle from someone in exchange for Xanax before continuing on to Colorado.

After arriving at the Walmart, Greggs got out of the Jeep and got into Smeltz's Mercedes. Smeltz reportedly did not bring the amount of drugs agreed upon, but Baker later told police the three had not brought much money with them.

Greggs had brought a Taurus revolver that he put in a bag — which may have been used to trick Smeltz into thinking there was money — and then shot Smeltz several times. Greggs returned to the Jeep where Gresham and Baker were still sitting and told them he needed to reload because Smeltz was not yet dead.

Greggs went back and shot Smeltz again, then got back to the car and said he needed help moving Smeltz's body into the trunk.

Smeltz had also been armed.

The men stole the Mercedes and drove to Smeltz's home to rob it but fled when Smeltz's mom heard a noise and went to see what was going on.

The three continued driving the Jeep and the Mercedes and dumped Smeltz's body in a field in Morgan County.

The two vehicles were later stopped by Illinois state troopers, and police said they found a bag of Xanax pills, a loaded semiautomatic pistol covered in blood, Smeltz’s phone and wallet, and a backpack that contained a revolver, Versace jeans, empty shell casings and $11,400 worth of cocaine (about 5 ounces). They also found more blood in the Mercedes.

In their investigation, police obtained surveillance footage from the Walmart parking lot and text messages from the suspects' phones and videos, some of which were played at the sentencing.

When Smeltz's mother, Dawn Becker, spoke at the sentencing, she implored the judge to give Greggs the maximum sentence allowed by the plea deal. Smeltz's father, Doug Smeltz, pointed out that the family members were opposed to the plea deal, which reduced the number of charges the defendants faced.

First Assistant District Attorney Mitch Murray told Field that Greggs' actions were "not an isolated error of judgement," referencing an Ohio incident Greggs was reportedly involved in, in which a drug deal was set up to then steal money, drugs and guns.

Murray said Greggs can spend his time in prison trying to make something of his life, which he took away from Smeltz.

Greggs' attorney Jeffrey Schwartz, however, painted a tragic picture of Greggs' life growing up.

He came from an impoverished home, in a "crime-laden community," in which he was abused by his mother, didn't know his father and later lived with his uncle. He was a victim to racism, even by his extended family, for being biracial. Greggs' mom, Schwartz said, used drugs while pregnant with Greggs and throughout his life and is currently serving time on federal drug charges.

But Greggs pushed forward, was the only one of his family to graduate high school, and joined the Army at 17 before having to be medically discharged because of an issue he could not control.

"Much like Devon Smeltz, (Greggs) had two different sides to him," Schwartz said.

While Smeltz was a loving father and son, he was also a drug dealer who at the time of the killing and was being investigated for his involvement in an apartment shooting, according to Schwartz.

Though none of Greggs' history excuses the horrific murder, Schwartz said, he felt it was important for the judge to "understand what created this person."

Schwartz said the court should consider that Greggs was 19 at the time of the murder, a time when his brain was continuing to develop, and was impacted by the traumatic incidents he faced as a child. In a few years, Schwartz said, he has already matured and is taking responsibility for his actions.

Greggs, who looked down during the majority of the hearing on Thursday, read a prepared statement in which he apologized to the court, the community and the family of Smeltz.

He said he wanted to be a productive member of society and that no matter what sentence he received, he would use the time to better himself and move in the right direction.

Field acknowledged the difficulty of the case, and the pain on all sides.

"I know there were no angels in this case," she said, adding that it was almost inevitable, with three guns and drugs, that someone would end up dead.

She said after balancing the goals of the criminal justice system and the circumstances of the killing, reviewing all the evidence and thinking "long and hard" about the sentence, it came down to a single action that was most impactful to her: Greggs went back to the Jeep to reload the gun after he had already shot Smeltz and then returned to shoot him.

Field said she does believe that Greggs has "a great deal to offer," but his choices on Aug. 26, 2016, limited what she could do.

How Much Does an 8 Ball of Cocaine Cost?

Introduction:

The illicit drug market operates on a complex set of factors that influence the prices of various substances, including cocaine. One common unit of measurement for cocaine is the "8 ball," which refers to an eighth of an ounce or approximately 3.5 grams of the drug. This article aims to provide an overview of the cost of an 8 ball of coke , exploring factors that influence pricing, regional variations, and the importance of understanding the associated risks.

Factors Affecting Pricing:

The cost of an 8 ball of cocaine can vary depending on several factors, including:

a. Geographic Location: Prices fluctuate significantly across different regions and countries due to variations in supply and demand dynamics, transportation costs, law enforcement efforts, and local market conditions.

b. Purity and Quality: The purity and quality of the cocaine can influence its price. Higher purity cocaine generally commands a higher price in the market.

c. Supply and Availability: The availability of cocaine can impact its price. Limited supply or increased demand can drive prices higher, while oversupply or decreased demand may lead to price reductions.

Regional Variations:

Cocaine prices can vary significantly across different regions. Here are a few examples of regional price ranges for an 8 ball of cocaine:

a. United States: In major cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, or Miami, an 8 ball of cocaine can range from $100 to $200 or even higher, depending on the factors mentioned above. Prices can be lower in smaller cities or rural areas.

b. Europe: In European countries like the United Kingdom, France, or Germany, the cost of an 8 ball of cocaine can range from €80 to €150 or more.

c. South America: Cocaine prices tend to be relatively lower in countries where it is produced, such as Colombia or Peru. In these regions, an 8 ball of cocaine may cost around $50 to $100.

Risks and Legal Considerations:

While discussing cocaine prices, it is crucial to emphasize the associated risks and legal consequences. Cocaine is a highly addictive and illegal substance in most countries. Using, possessing, or distributing cocaine can result in severe legal penalties, including fines, imprisonment, and damage to personal and professional relationships. Moreover, cocaine use carries significant health risks, such as addiction, cardiovascular problems, mental health issues, and potential overdose.

Conclusion:

The cost of an 8 ball of coke can vary widely depending on factors such as geographic location, purity, quality, and supply and demand dynamics. It is essential to remember that discussing prices and market trends should not be interpreted as endorsing or promoting drug use. Cocaine consumption poses serious risks to physical and mental health, and legal consequences should be a deterrent for engaging in such activities. Seeking help from medical professionals, addiction specialists, or support groups is crucial for individuals struggling with cocaine addiction or related issues.

Bookie Logic (Syndicates)

Doubting Thomas, established the "vig".

The vig, is used by syndicates, as a percentage of profit paid, per return to employ, always losing money, therefore always expanding, the confidence grift, the syndicate (boxing and prizefighting).

But what is the vig?

The vig, is the fee, paid to the bookie, for betting.

You can justify anything as a bet.

To rig a game, you bet 1:1, on someone's dollar, at their foreign home, for your win, with their home game. They always fix it.

They do this, through taking 1:2, and betting the vig as 10, the double multiplier, therefore it's a quarter, a twenty-five percent.

That means, your fifty fifty, is built on a twenty five bet, a fifteen percent on your return, a thirty five dollar reward, an eighth of the ounce.

An eighth, is a basic weed dealing unit, if marked at any price, then inside an eight ball, eighty dollars, whatever the vig was, on the bet, placed as the rig (the syndicate payout, to the better that lost, the home team).

Therefore, the eighty mark on "buck", the price for the soul, takes a price percentage of a 4/15, four fifteenths, the profit margin to a law; the law, is a 16 percent, a factor of two, four, eight, and sixteen, with the actual ounce, on the English system, as minus four, the 28 grams, the four grams above, with the proper price calculated fifty dollars below, the 23 mark, the half on sixteen, as the 11.5, the extra half gram, the line of cocaine.

Working that out:

Ounce of marijuana: 230 dollars.

Half ounce of marijuana: 120 dollars.

Quarter of marijuana: 70 dollars.

Eight of marijuana: 40 dollars.

Gram of marijuana: 20 dollars.

Eightball of cocaine: 80 dollars.

Gram of cocaine: 40 dollars.

Half gram of cocaine: 20 dollars.

The secret, is that the eightball, determines the gram of cocaine, from the marijuana system being level, the 1:1 bet on the 1:2, for the vig of ten dollars, on the fifty dollar pay, for the stadium rig, out of the syndicate's money. If you can push the eightball, to a single gram, by using a low commodity bet, then the marijuana market pushes upwards, the fraud performed of price on whatever is supporting the marijuana industry; carried out through state attorney general's charge, through FBI.

Someone, is using the Church, to sell cocaine, to kill soldiers, at college. They're anti-war. They support the Nazis.

Drug Prices: The Real Cost

It’s no secret drugs cost money, we all know from one avenue or another that drug prices can be high and there is a big financial drain on people with addiction. Drug prices are wide-ranging across different addictions and If you’ve ever wondered how much do drugs cost, you aren’t alone. It’s a common question, and one of the more important things to recognize is that when we talk about the monetary high costs of drug use.

Drug prices generally don’t even take into account the many other costs including health problems, emotional and psychological costs, and in some cases, the loss of life.

Illicit Drug Prices on the Streets

The following gives a rough estimate of what someone might pay for illicit drugs on the streets.

Marijuana

Marijuana is one of the most widely used drugs in America, and many states have made it legal medically and in some places, recreationally. Marijuana has a psychoactive chemical called THC. It’s used in a variety of ways. For example, it can be smoked, vaped, cooked into food, or used as a liquid.

Marijuana users pay around $20 a gram; an eighth of marijuana, which is about 3.5 grams, might cost around $40.

Heroin

Heroin is an illegal opioid that’s the cause of many of the deaths during the opioid epidemic. Heroin can be something that people start to use after they develop an addiction to prescription opioids because it is cheaper and easier to get.

The price of around 0.1 grams of heroin could range from $15 to $20.

Someone who is a heavy user might pay $150 to $200 a day for heroin. In a lot of locations, you can buy heroin for cheaper than you can buy cigarettes, especially in bigger cities.

There’s a reason for this—drug cartels have focused on providing a cheap product to a larger number of people who can’t afford an opioid prescription medication.

Cocaine

The effects of cocaine last only around 30 minutes, and the average price is $100 to $120 a gram. For someone who is a heavy cocaine user, they could spend upwards of $100 a day supporting their addiction.

Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine, also known as meth or crystal meth, is a powerful stimulant drug. It affects the central nervous system. This drug is very addictive and it’s usually smoked, although it can be injected, swallowed, or snorted.

The price of crystal meth averages around $80 a gram. One dose of meth is around 0.25 grams, so you might pay $20 for a dose.

Hallucinogens

There are a lot of other street drugs that fall into the larger category of hallucinogens.

MDMA, also known as ecstasy, usually costs anywhere from $15 to $25 on the streets for one pill, with effects lasting anywhere from three to six hours.

A single dose of LSD, also called acid, might cost anywhere from $5 to $20.

Hallucinogenic mushrooms can cost $20 to $25 for around an eighth of an ounce.

PCP, or Angel Dust, can cost $20 to $30 per gram, with a single dose being anywhere from one to five milligrams.

The Cost of Prescription Drugs

Prescription drugs can be just as addictive and even deadly as illegal drugs, and along with that prescription drug spending is higher than ever. Opioids are prescription pain medicines that can change how pain signals are sent between the body and the brain and they can, unfortunately, be very addictive. In 2017, nearly 59 prescriptions for opioids were written per 100 people in the U.S.

Vicodin is one example of a prescription opioid that has a high potential for misuse. Prescription drug prices are very high; if you get a prescription for Vicodin and you don’t have health care, drug companies may charge around $125 for 100 pills. That comes out to about $1.26 per Vicodin tablet. If you were to go and try to buy that same pill on the street, the list price would cost nearly four times more in most cases.

Adderall is one of the brand-name drugs that is highly abused amongst students. Prescribed to treat symptoms of ADHD. It is also sometimes abused by people who want the energy burst, focus, and concentration it can create. With health care or a discount card, generic drug versions of Adderall will usually cost around $25 a month. Buying Adderall on the streets or using it without a prescription may mean that you pay around $10 a pill.

The Other Costs of Addiction

Drug prices aren’t the only cost involved with substance abuse. Addiction is expensive in so many ways after you already spend money.

You might lose your job because of your addiction. You might not be able to fulfill your home duties, and your drug use could cost you meaningful relationships. You may also face legal consequences, which come with their own costs.

Sometimes people worry that the cost of addiction treatment is a barrier to them receiving the help they need. The reality is that untreated addiction is much more expensive than an addiction treatment program monetarily and in other ways. Addiction may cost you your life; An addiction treatment program, like Pacific Sands Recovery Center, is one of the best investments you can make.

What a long strange trip...

Why are we here?

Well, that’s complicated and I can’t say I know the answer - but I do know why I’m recording this information via blog...

The purpose of this page will be to document the journey of my first ever controlled (and self-administered) micro-dosing experiment using psilocybin. After doing a lot of research online, I’ve come to find that almost all useful information is anecdotal. With my background in research (and general curiosity) the void of real data is concerning. Certainly, not concerning enough for me to not carry our my micro-dose (MD)... but concerning in the type of way where I’d be worried about quantifying the results of my own experiment.

Now all of that being said,.. the results of my experiment will be completely empirical, but I’m aware they won’t carry an ounce of validity for true research purposes. My hope is that this can help someone establish a baseline (including myself) for legitimate MD therapies and help advance the production and deployment of pharmaceutical alternatives (more on that later)

Some Context

I’m a male in my mid-20s living in the Unites States. I work a high(er) paying and likewise high(er) stress sales job for a large corporation. I’m in good health, have a strong immune system, and have what I would call an “average” genetic risk profile when it comes to disease. I (try to) work out every day - which I’m looking forward to changing during this journey. Likewise I (try to) eat very healthy and limit red meat as much as possible. By and large my diet and exercise are certainly above average when compared to the average American, but I’ve got a lot of room for improvement.

I’m a more than occasional drinker, but not to excess. I have abused nicotine in the form of vapes and cigarettes, although I have not done so for about a month leading up to this research. The extent of my experimentation with drugs is limited to marijuana, cocaine, and sleeping pills - the bulk of which all took place in college. I can thankfully say I’ve never been truly “addicted” to any one substance, despite prolonged or excessive use of some in the past.

As for psychedelics... it’s a class of substance I profoundly avoided for a long time. I was never worried about the horror stories we’ve all heard before... but more so my fear was getting too close to the inner-workings of my mind. I tripped for the very first time in Fall of 2019 after deciding I was ready. As it turned out... I absolutely was. After eating about an eighth of mushrooms and going off in to the woods for over 4 hours, I knew I had made the right choice. Exploring the recesses of my consciousness while listening to music and enjoying nature was like nothing I could have imagined - and even more revealing than anticipated.

Since then I’ve taken mushrooms 5-7 times (mostly to accompany live music) but have not had a full blow trip since my initial experience.

How Many Grams In A Eighth Of Crack

So if when u ask for an eighth u should be getting 3.5 grams. Some dealers are generous & push it up to like 3.75 or something, but anything more & it’s not an eighth. At that point your just buying how ever many grams your getting for whatever price your paying. At $40 for 6-7 grams it’s obviously can’t be top shelf. An 8 ball of coke is 3.5 grams of cocaine, which is one-eighth of an ounce or 25.34 grams. Drug dealers and people who buy coke also use the term 8 ball to refer to 3.5 grams of meth.

Eighth Of An Ounce To Grams

The punishment varies whether one has crack cocaine or cocaine powder, a higher prison time for the former.

Pharmacologically the same drug, crack and powder cocaine are treated very differently within the walls of our justice system. Current policy generates a 100 to 1 penalty ratio for crack-related offenses. For instance, possession of only 5 grams of crack-cocaine yields a 5 year mandatory minimum sentence, however it takes 500 grams of powder cocaine to prompt the same sentence. The article says there is a wide disparity of punishment if one has a crack-cocaine and when one has cocaine powder. For a first offender of crack-cocaine can trigger a federal mandatory minimum punishment of 5 years, while a first offense of cocaine powder carries only a misdemeanor offense punishable by a maximum of one year in prison. To eliminate the disparity, the U.S. Sentencing commission in 1995 recommended a more equitable ratio between crack and powder cocaine. However, Congress discarded the Commission's request and President Clinton also signed the rejection into law. And this was the first occasion in history that Congress rejected a recommendation from the U.S. Sentencing commission. The commission after that had tried to reduce the levels to 20:1 ratio, with the same effect, it was rejected.Because of this disparity, there has been lots of racial injustice, a 1007 report published by the U.S. Sentencing Commission found that nearly 90 percent of the offenders convicted for Crack cocaine were found to be African American, while the majority of crack-cocaine users are white.The report concludes that 'sentences appear to be harsher and more severe for racial minorities than others as a result of this law. The current penalty structure results in a perception of unfairness and inconsistency.'Also, the Commission thinks that powder cocaine can be easily converted into crack cocaine, and punishment higher for crack cocaine offenses,law enforcement and prosecutorial decisions that wait until powder has been converted into crack can have a dramatic impact on a defendant’s final sentence.'So to mitigate this disparity, the U.S. Sentencing Commission has come up with few other recommendations in 2002 to increase the minimum amount from 5 grams to 25 grams, and increase the punishment for cocaine users to 5 years. Whether this will be approved by Congress and the President, we have to wait and see, but from past recommendations it looks doubtful the drug laws will be changed.Check the article link for more information about different rules of these laws.What do you think about the disparity? Is there similar disparity in your country?

"The War on Drugs: Moral Panic and Excessive Sentences"

The title of this post is the title of this new article now available via SSRN and authored by Michael Vitiello. Here is its abstract:

The United States’ War on Drugs has not been pretty. Moral panic has repeatedly driven policy when states and the federal government have regulated drugs. Responding to that panic, legislators have authorized severe sentences for drug offenses. By design, Article III gives federal judges independence, in part, to protect fundamental rights against mob rule. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has often failed to protect fundamental rights in times of moral panic. For example, it eroded Fourth Amendment protections during the War on Drugs. Similarly, it failed to protect drug offenders from excessive prison sentences during the War on Drugs.

This article examines whether it is time for the Supreme Court to rethink its precedent upholding extremely long sentences for drug crimes. In 1983, in Solem v. Helm, the Supreme Court held that the Eighth Amendment’s Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause applies to terms of imprisonment. There, it found the imposition of a true-life sentence imposed on a repeat offender to be grossly disproportionate to the gravity of the defendant’s offense. Whatever hope Solem created that courts might limit excessive sentences proved to be false. Two Supreme Court cases dealing with drug sentences, bracketing Solem, demonstrate the Court’s unwillingness to override legislatures’ discretion in imposing sentences. In 1982, the Court upheld a 40-year term of imprisonment imposed on an offender who possessed less than nine ounces of marijuana. In 1991, the Court upheld a true-life sentence imposed on an offender who possessed 672 grams of cocaine. The Court’s refusal to curtail such extreme sentences reflects its willingness to accede to the nation’s moral panic over drug usage.

Since the height of the War on Drugs, Americans have changed their views about drugs. Significant majorities of Americans favor legalization of marijuana for medical and recreational use. Many Americans favor a wholesale rethinking of drug policy. Despite studies in the 1950s and 1960s, demonstrating beneficial use of drugs like LSD and psilocybin, Congress yielded to moral panic and included them in Schedule I when it enacted the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Efforts are afoot at the state level to legalize the study of and to decriminalize the use of those and other drugs.

This article argues that the Court should rethink its Eighth Amendment caselaw upholding severe drug sentences. The Court’s Eighth Amendment caselaw balances the severity of punishment against the gravity of an offense. In turn, the gravity of an offense turns on its social harm and the culpability of the offender. The Court upheld extreme drug sentences based on the view that drugs were a national scourge. Moral panic led it to overstate the social harm and the culpability of drug offenders. Scientifically based examination of drugs and drug policy should compel the Court to rethink its excessive punishment caselaw because the balance between severity of punishment and the gravity of drug offenses looks different when one has a better understanding of true costs and benefits of drug use.

A girl I fell in love with in high school took me to pick up my last car 11 years ago. The car was a 96 Toyota Corolla. It wasn't a bad car, as far as used cars go.

The trip from Ellicott City to Westminster was about forty minutes. Once I got the car at my father's house, she trailed behind me until she diverted to drive back to her house or wherever she went to after that.

She's one of my best friends. Allie. She's a hot girl. We used to talk a lot around that time. I'm sure she still thinks about me. I'd like to see her and talk to her again.

A few years ago, me and my friend Chris bought 3 to 4 eightballs. (which is equivalent to like an amount of cocaine or crack, usually in a bag./ To be more specific, an 8 ball is 3.5 grams, one-eighth of an ounce).

I was the one who bought it. $700. We bought crack. Really good crack.

We smoked it (we didn't buy it all at one time) over the course of a week or two.

4 weeks later, the President of the United States Barrack Obama said after a conference meeting, "Thanks Paul".

I mentioned the other day I thought Donald Trump is a pretty good president. I emphasized that the economy and society is doing well and the nasdaq is also up.

A few hours later, President Donald Trump was on TV seated in a chair and he said very serenely, "you think I've been a pretty good president??"

Me and my friend Chris lived in a tent at the time.

One time when I was at a Taco Bell on route 40, I walked through the drive-thru.

Once I walked into a Starbucks early in the morning and asked, "Yea, can I have the ready??"

Learn About 8-Ball Cocaine

Cocaine, a stimulant that affects the central nervous system (CNS), is commonly abused for its ability to increase confidence, enhance alertness, and provide a sense of well-being. Often referred to as crack or crack cocaine, this substance is considered one of the most dangerous in the world. Its high potential for addiction and harmful effects on the heart, brain, and overall health are well-documented. Many individuals struggling with cocaine addiction require specialized rehab programs to achieve sobriety and physical recovery.

Understanding an "8-Ball" of Cocaine

What exactly is an 8-ball drug? An 8-ball of cocaine refers to a quantity of 3.5 grams, which is equivalent to one-eighth of an ounce or 3,500 milligrams (mg). Notably, the term "8-ball" can also be used to describe 3.5 grams of meth or other drugs. This nickname originated in the mid-1980s when cocaine gained popularity as a street drug. The use of such nicknames helps individuals involved in drug trade to conceal their activities and avoid legal detection.

Determining the Cost of an 8-Ball of Cocaine

The price of an 8-ball of cocaine can vary depending on factors such as location, supply and demand, and purity. Even experts, including DEA agents, sometimes struggle to determine its exact cost. However, studies and surveys suggest that the typical price range for an 8-ball of cocaine is between $60 and $120. Additionally, the purity of the cocaine can significantly influence its price, as dealers often use cutting agents to increase the weight and sell at higher prices.

Cocaine Usage and Methods

Cocaine can be used in various ways, including smoking, injection, and snorting. Among these methods, snorting the powdered form is the most common. When snorted, the drug is quickly absorbed by the nasal mucous membranes and enters the bloodstream, resulting in a rapid and intense high that lasts approximately 30 to 60 minutes. Smoking or injecting cocaine can produce even faster effects, but they also carry a higher risk of overdose and other adverse health consequences.

The Effects of Cocaine Abuse

Cocaine, known by different names such as coke, crack, or crack cocaine, is derived from coca leaves found on a South American plant called Erythroxylum Coca. It is classified as a Schedule II drug due to its accepted medical uses but also its high potential for abuse and addiction. Cocaine acts as a CNS stimulant, affecting the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, resulting in a euphoric and energetic high. Common effects associated with an 8-ball of cocaine include increased heart rate, heightened confidence, elevated energy and alertness, elevated blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, decreased appetite, irritability, paranoia, anxiety, impaired judgment, muscle twitches, and hallucinations.

The Dangers of Overdosing on Cocaine

Overdosing on cocaine is a significant risk associated with its abuse. It often occurs in individuals who are first-time users or chronic users with a high tolerance for the drug. Tolerance refers to the body's adaptation to a particular substance, requiring higher doses to achieve the desired effects. Furthermore, cocaine is often adulterated with cutting agents that can further increase the risk of health complications and overdose.

The Importance of Cocaine Addiction Treatment

Cocaine addiction is a complex issue with devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities. Seeking help for cocaine addiction is vital for several reasons. Firstly, the substance can cause severe physical and mental health problems, as well as social consequences. Prolonged usage of cocaine can lead to cardiovascular and pulmonary issues, mental health disorders, and various other health complications. Additionally, addiction can interfere with daily activities such as work, relationships, and overall well-being.

EIGHTH-GRADER TEXTS MOM A PHOTO OF HIS MATH QUIZ. THE FIRST QUESTION HAS HER CALLING THE SCHOOL IMMEDIATELY An Alabama middle school teacher has been placed on administrative leave after a mother read the shocking math quiz her eighth-grader was given. Keep reading to learn more! A middle school teacher in Alabama has been placed on administrative leave after a mother saw the kind of math quiz her son had been asked to take. According to Fox 10, several eighth-grade students at Burns Middle School were forced to take a math quiz that involved questions about drugs, guns, and prostitution. Erica Hall, the mother of an eighth-grader at the school, was horrified when her son texted her a picture of the jaw-dropping assignment. Tyrone knocked up four girls in the gang. There are 20 girls in his gang. What is the exact percentage of girls he knocked up?” reads one question. “Dwayne pimps three hos,” reads another question. “If the price is $85 per trick, how many tricks per day must each ho turn to support Dwayne’s $800 per day crack habit?” One of the questions even asked students to think about drug sales. “Raul wants to cut the pound of cocaine he bought for $40,000 to make a 20% profit,” it reads. “How many one ounce bags will he need to make to obtain the 20% profit?” Although most of the students initially thought the worksheet was a joke, their teacher insisted that it wasn’t, Hall told Fox 10. After Hall met with school officials, the unnamed teacher, who is said to be nearing retirement, was placed on immediate administrative leave pending the investigation. http://dailynol.com/eighth-grader-texts-mom-a-photo-of-his-math-quiz-the-first-question-has-her-calling-the-school-immediately/ #alabama #middleschool #racism #racismisstillalive

Is That Marijuana? Ohio Cops Forced To Prove It.

Small-time marijuana busts are a waste of time for everybody, and that includes the Ohio state crime lab.

Possession of less than 3.5 ounces of marijuana in Ohio is still a crime, but it’s a lowest-level misdemeanor that’s punishable by no more than a $150 fine and possible suspension of a driver’s license. But even that piddling bust takes some police work. For one, the cop doing the arrest has to prove that the marijuana is in fact marijuana—and has to prove it in court.

Typical procedure goes like this: Drugs seized during an arrest or raid are “suspected drugs,” good only for establishing probable cause to make an arrest, until they’re sent to the state crime lab for analysis. Only after a lab test confirms that the contraband is the real McCoy (and of course this is already a marijuana strain name) can a drug conviction be won in court.

This has created what’s become an expensive dilemma for Ohio’s small-town police. Last March, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s crime lab stopped testing minute amounts of marijuana, according to the Toledo Blade. Or more precisely, they stopped running grams, eighths and other small amounts of cannabis through the machine just to prove that, yes officer, that’s cannabis.

Now, if a cop wants to make his $150 case, the police department has to pay for the test—and most aren’t. There’s now both an obvious loophole for defendants charged with low-level marijuana crime as well as a new cottage industry in “cannabis education” for local police.

Per the Blade:

Officers typically use a basic field drug test to confirm that a substance is marijuana, but that test only establishes probable cause. Further testing would be needed for evidence to rise to the higher standard needed for conviction. An officer can be certified through a two-day Ohio Peace Officers Training Academy course, but Waterville Township Police Chief Richard Bingham is unsure that would hold up in court.

“Some courts will not accept that,” he said. “Some courts want a chemist report.”

Thus far, 85 officers have taken the two-day course, according to the newspaper. Since most small-time marijuana cases result in a plea deal—and since the testing ending, prosecutors have more incentive than ever to offer a plea rather than pay for a test in order to take a case to trial—local courts have yet to encounter a case dismissed or delayed because nobody could prove weed was weed.

That said, one local judge seemed to suggest that it’s only a matter of time before defendants get wise and realize this is an escape route, as a two-day course does not an expert make.

“Whether you go through a training or not, you still have to qualify that a person is, in fact, an expert, and that’s a legal standard that has to be established,” local municipal court Judge Gary Byers told the newspaper. “Whether an officer going through some sort of crash course on identifying marijuana rises to that level, we have to take on a case-by-case basis.”

Ohio is one of the states hit hard by the opiate epidemic—and one of the heroin and prescription pill-wracked states that helped hand Donald Trump the White House. With so much heroin, fentanyl and synthetic opiates to test, the lab had to make a decision to cut something else out—and that was weed.

Seems smart. Who could argue with that? Police, of course: Chief Bingham told the Blade that his department would likely start paying the state crime lab to test small amounts of marijuana—because, he said, that’s how you find the heroin.

“I don’t think anyone is looking at a big picture,” he told the newspaper. ‘You are 50 times more likely to progress to heroin or cocaine if you start with marijuana.”

Let’s forget for a second the gateway theory and the Trump-like “50 times” figure conjured out of thin air, and let’s hope Chief B is right on—at least partially. Let’s hope Ohio police progress to busting heroin and cocaine after their chances of making petty pot busts approach zero.

You can keep up with all of HIGH TIMES’ marijuana news right here.
