I’m sure that in Iowa once, in the 1970s, they arrested someone for pot. The idea that cops in DC care about pot is pretty amusing. Someone has to die for cops to begin to consider caring about it. |

They only care if it’s a large amount for distribution.
My MPD friend used to just tell people to throw their little personal stashes in the sewer or trash, and in those instances they were always getting detained for something else anyway. |
Of course, they’re fentanyl in pot. You’re supposed to be testing it for fentanyl before you smoke it, dumb ass |
Do you think pot is FDA approved? Do you think it’s like ordering a burger in a restaurant? You have no idea what’s in it and no one is checking to make sure it’s safe. |
Link to a story about a dispensary selling laced products. |
You’re kidding, right? Until D.C. legalized possession a few years ago, they used to make about 2,000 arrests per year for cannabis possession. (See article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/dc-marijuana-arrest-legal/2020/09/15/65c20348-d01b-11ea-9038-af089b63ac21_story.html) |
Bingo. |
I bet almost none of these arrests was simply for pot possession. When you get arrested, the police pile up as many charges as possible because the vast majority of cases are pled out and more charges means more leverage for the cops. Pot is something they’d throw in on top of all the more serious stuff that they actually care about. |
You're not very bright. Continue proving us correct. |
I've been consuming for a long time and have never encountered cannabis laced with anything. Your idiotic myths just make you look like the babbling fool you are. |
No, that same article indicates that in about 70 percent of the 115 pot possession arrests the Post reviewed from 2018-19, prosecutors later declined to file charges or dropped them. Which is a pretty good sign that they weren't just looking for leverage on other charges. It also showed that the vast majority of people arrested between 2012 and 2019 were black men, and that 40 percent of the arrests happened in Wards 7 and 8 -- less than 1 percent in Ward 3. Do you think that represents the actual cannabis use distribution in the city? Or is it possible that legalizing marijuana actually helped end a serious ongoing structural injustice where only poor black people were being arrested for something all kinds of people do? And yes, sure, I know you'll say it wasn't a big deal if the charges were later dropped or no-papered. I suspect you would feel differently if you had to miss a day of work for being arrested. |
Someone has apparently persuaded you somehow that heroin is pot. Probably best if you continue not using it! |

DC is pillow soft on crime. You can shoot someone in the face and you’re most likely not going to jail. The idea that this same government is extremely hard on people smoking weed is delusional. |
You realize that nothing will happen to you physically if you inhale the smell of meat? However pot is like second hand smoke. There is a physical effect. |
