Title: England Small-time Weed Dealing Sentence?
Post by: ThrowawayAccount8736 on February 26, 2013, 08:26 pm
So, hypothetically speaking, here's what I'm thinking about:
Get a cheap ounce off Silk Road, and re-sell it to somebody I know who deals on a street level. I could get it cheap enough, and it's expensive enough here, that I could make maybe £120 profit on each ounce. I could do this maybe weekly. I'd get it shipped to a friend's house and pay him a small cut, then transport it straight from there to the dealer - at worst, keeping it at mine for a few days. All in all, it seems extremely possible to make £100/week extra money for minimal effort. I'd never have more than an ounce in my possession at a time.

I don't plan on carrying scales with me, nor do I plan on ever having him visit my house.

I'd like to know from the more experienced among you, how does this plan sound? The only possible weakness I can see in it would be if the dealer gets caught by the police and turns me in - but I'd only have an ounce at most in my possession - could I pass this off as personal use? I mean, for an ounce a week, it barely seems worth setting up a sting operation to prove I'm dealing!

Would it be worth delivering to the dealer in two goes - half an ounce each time, which I could possibly explain to the police as a 'personal use' amount? Or would it be pointless? Would they be able to search my property once they found the first O (or half O) on me? I mean, I have a few class As there right now - they're for personal use, but I have enough that I might then qualify for 'with intent to supply' with those too...

And - most importantly - what would the punishment be, if worst comes to worst, and I get caught? Would it increase drastically if I went from selling an ounce a time to, say, two, three or four?

I don't understand how this is spam, I'm sorry?

You'd be fairly unlucky to see the inside of a jail cell for an ounce, a friend of mine north of the border in Scotland (not sure if the sentencing works differently there) once got caught with something like 50 plants and spent a grand total of 1 night in the cells. He had a very, very good lawyer, but even so...

I would say your biggest risks are from others turning you in. That's why I like the silk road so much ;)

I read somewhere that a first time offender can be caught with weed up to nine ounces and avoid jail granted they have a decent lawyer and are willing to do a community payback order.

I only know two people who got caught. Both with roughly 100 gram. One was jailed (he was only out of jail 3 weeks when caught) and the other was basically given a slap on the wrist.

You wont be jailed (at least not for long enough to care) if you're caught with an ounce.

Yeah a mate of mine got busted with a oz scales and baggies and he got a small amount of community service for the ordeal so punishments shouldn't be too extreme.
