Title: Vendors ought to offer ~25g instead of 28g
Post by: slirp on March 01, 2013, 10:34 pm
Vendors ought to offer ~25g instead of 28g because in many jurisdictions 28g gram is considered to be trafficking, even if it is being purchased for personal use.

i am pretty sure it would ultimately come down to the evidence against you and the judge, but also the drug, so if you have 25 grams of molly im sure they will assume its for trafficking anyway

Yeah 25g is a lot.  I'd be willing to wager you're screwed either way if you don't take proper precautions

Unless it's yoghurt or rice it's pretty hard to argue that 25g of anything is for personal use.

I'm pretty sure whether you have 25 or 28 your gonna get busted on suspected trafficking. The only laws I've heard pertaining to 28 grams is marijuana.

not really a worthwhile proposal - If I order 25g of anything, I expect the seller to send me 28 as a matter of courtesy!

I'm sure if you message a seller selling ounces and tell them you only want 25g - most will be happy to oblige! but it'd be stupiud...

If they were going to bust your door down for 28g they will bust it down for 25g as well.

Many states explicitly list 28g as the amount for a particular minimum mandatory sentence.  If the law says 30 months minimum for 28g-100g of MDMA and you've got 25g then it doesn't apply to the 28g-100g law.

I'd love to hear from a lawyer on SR about this though.
