Police in Legal States Using Social Media to Bust People for Marijuana

Even in states where marijuana has been made legal, law enforcement agencies are still engaging in underhanded practices, some of which are blatant models of entrapment, to arrest people for marijuana.

The guy attempted to buy 36 pounds of weed off of facebook, the guy is retarded.

Therefore, marijuana transactions via the Internet should be avoided at all cost. Trust no one!

Lol

Not at all entrapment. People have no idea what that actually means.

The first reply to the article is someone offering "MEDICAL CANNABIS, CANNABIS OIL AND OTHER CANNABIS RELATED PRODUCTS"

The guy is retarded for falling for that kind of bait. But these cops are retarded for posting this kind of bait in response to an article that talks about cops posting this kind of bait.

OK, here's a thing I want to know. I live in WA and have a WA state medical ganj script, issued by a doctor licensed in the state of WA. Let's say I got popped for some small-time state/county shit - parking tickets, overdue library books, offensive topiary, wtf/ev - and I need to do a little short-time.

Do the deputies have to pack my bowls for me? It's my prescribed medicine...can state/county LEOs unilaterally countermand an MD?

Might be fun....

Whatever happened to the days when police actually did something that mattered. This is fucking retarded I hate the police.

Boy, have I got a story for you all. I recently almost got entrapped by a Japanese drug unit that I met at a swingers club.

now that it is a revenue stream for the state, cops have a vested interest in removing the black market.

"It is important to understand that law enforcement is permitted to lie about anything and everything in order to bust people for engaging in illegal activity--even when the act is simply buying marijuana in a state where it is grown, bought and sold as a part as a part of everyday commerce."

Harsh. But true.

The middle man doesn't like it when he doesn't get his cut.

Having said that, attempting to buy 36 pounds off of Instagram is pretty fucking retarded.

As shady as this is on the LEO's part, if you are using social media at all, you are dumb and if you are selling drugs thru social media YOU ARE REALLY REALLY DUMB
