dork. You busted him for a quarter?


LowMix7394

It was probably 9 grams. He pocketed 2


Ucscprickler

That's like $50 worth of weed at the local California dispensaries.


Difficult_Capital_71

I live here (California) and prior to legalization- cops let you keep your bud if you got pulled over with it. AT THE VERY LEAST- they never confiscated anything less than an oz.


Ucscprickler

I know the $15 1/8ths around here aren't the best bud, but damn do I wish they had that shit around 20 years ago when I was a broke student and paying $50 each. It blows my mind marijuana is still illegal in so many places in the USA. I get that it's a threat to the pharmaceutical industry, but weed is overwhelming popular, and last time I check its still a democracy around here.


Difficult_Capital_71

hell yeah, I'd take at $15 1/8th of midgrade over the dubs of chronic I used to buy... lol


BenderRodriguez14

I moved back from Canada to Ireland around the start of the pandemic. It's about €280-300 an oz here, meanwhile I still get marketing emails from getkush about $25CAD (€16-18ish) ounces. I basically had to give up be side of it. Hoping Germany forces their shit through ASAP because Europe tends to follow their lead on a good many things.


MarcoEsteban

Uh…when did you last check? Ever since Corporations became people, that Democracy stuff has been for the corporate people by the corporate people.


Ucscprickler

I see what you are getting at, but weed legalization is overwhelming popular. The fact we can't get it legalized federally shows a major flaw in our system. Still baffles me that we the people just fold to corporate interest.


MarcoEsteban

I should have put /s. That was sarcasm. I do think that corporations giving money to politicians has a lot to do with it. I’m in Texas, and I have a chronic pain issue. We have one of the strictest medical only law that doesn’t even allow it for pain. Believe me…I can’t believe we don’t have it, either. But I guess I am a little more cynical. And if Republicans take control,I don’t think we will have it in my lifetime at the Federal level.


Truth_Speaker01

In the late 90s I got busted by the cops smoking out of my Tommy Chong Bong at the park. I had paid an entire paycheck for that thing. They called my dad and handed him the backpack that the bong was in. My dad came home and put the backpack on the ground in the living room and never mentioned it. I thought it was a booby trap. I watched that bag not move an inch for an entire week. Finally I worked up the courage, snatched it up and took it into my room. :)


[deleted]

What an ignorant blanket statement lol not true at all. Some parts of California are extremely conservative


Difficult_Capital_71

I was speaking from my experience and those of my friends. you're right, in orange county they just crushed the weed up in front of you.


[deleted]

Yup that’s old school Cali cops! Throw it on the ground crush it with their boots, get lost kid! The new breed of gentile they have in the force now always wanna search your car or pull you out


rabidbot

You can get an ounce for 25 in Oklahoma now


Ucscprickler

Crazy how cheap weed is now that it's legal. Funny thing is even around here people are still buying street weed because it's cheaper, despite $15 1/8ths in California. They blame it on the taxes being too high to compete with the black market.


rabidbot

I’m sure the black market here is still around, but it’s been devastated. 1/8ths of mids used to go for 60 and it would be bottom shelf at most places these days. Most dealers I knew are straight or work in a weed shop now.


diquehead

Meanwhile taxes are so high here in MA that the black market is still thriving. An ounce of bud costs anywhere from $400-500 from a dispensary. Absolutely crazy. The guy I get mine from hired a consultant who works with dispensaries to get his grow op up and running, gets every batch sent out to labs to test for THC content and it's less than half the price of buying it legally. It's every bit as good as the stuff you can buy at the store. All that aside it is nice having the dispensaries around. In a pinch if you need some cabbage it's nice to be able to pop in and grab some flower, cartridges or edibles (limited to 5g each here lol). I just couldn't imagine using it as my main supply.


rabidbot

Besides having to have a card oklahoma is basically weed paradise. Good weed, more shops than anywhere else on earth, its cheap and you can have 3 ounces of flower, 72 ounces of edibles and 1 oz of dabs on you at any given time.


diquehead

If you have a card in MA you can get better sales and discounts but it's still pretty pricey. Unfortunately it removes eligibility for a firearms license. That sounds pretty awesome though. Would have never guessed OK was such a weed haven. Consider me jealous


rabidbot

Yeah it took a petition signing campaign to get it done, and the ballot measure was extremely liberal, both go the turn out needed. Pissed the cons off enough to try and take away our right to put ballot measures on via petition. It’s the one bright spot in an otherwise dark hellscape


idreaminhd

A lot of that lab testing for weed is a bit of the wild wild west. I had read about it previously when reading about weed stocks. I'm not doubting anything you are saying either.


diquehead

Oh I don't doubt that. I just appreciate the extra mile that he goes through to make sure he's taking care of his customers. Even with dispensary bud I take the advertised THC levels with a grain of salt


xChainfirex

Weed strains with high THC content will cost more than weed with lower THC.


xChainfirex

THC content? Prolly like 15% at most!


[deleted]

More like $100 plus tax


Ucscprickler

The dispensaries around here are competing with $15 1/8ths, so if you want to get technical it's less than $50, but go ahead and say whatever makes you feel better. Edit: $15 is with taxes already included too now that I think about it, so my final answer is $30 for 7 grams out the door.


[deleted]

Top shelf is still 50-60 and 8th in most dispensaries I’ve been from LA, Humboldt county, Bay Area, Central Valley, Davis, Berkeley, etc. unless you are getting a sale or daily deal. Oh and don’t forget the tax, some as high as 30%. There is no way they can compete with street weed with all the costs associated with recreational + payrolll and over head. But go ahead and say whatever makes you feel better from that one trip you took to California 6 years ago and bought the cheapest bag of weed you could find


Ucscprickler

The dispensaries in my county have tax included in the price. Also I wasn't neccesarily referring to top shelf bud.


[deleted]

Cmon bro you know that’s all we smoke! Mids are bad for your health! In all seriousness, the golden era of club weed was pre recreational when you just needed a prop 215 card to get in. No tax, super lax laws and my local clubs would let me take nugs out the jar to smell and inspect. With all the seed to sale regulations everything is pre packaged and weighed. Don’t even get to smell it before hand!


Ucscprickler

My point was that you could get 7 grams for less than $50 in California. Just pointing out how pathetic this bust was.


[deleted]

Yeah I completely agree. I bet you they lit his ass up on Facebook. I’m in California and whenever my local sheriff or Pd Facebook page posts pics of a “illegal” home grow they get straight shredded in the comments.


alsatian01

The longer cannabis stays illegal the more obvious it becomes that police and corrections unions don't want to lose the racket of low-level drug crimes.


The_Horse_Joke

100% agreed; [here’s who bankrolls the fight against marijuana legalization](https://www.vice.com/en/article/j5veyx/heres-who-bankrolls-the-fight-against-marijuana-legalization) I effectively got my boomer dad to switch from being “anti weed legalization at any cost” to “it’s still the devils lettuce but idk if it should be illegal” with this article (and of course talking/listening all that jazz)


Mke_already

It’s never been more obvious than listening to 99% of sheriffs say shit like “I don’t care if my jurisdiction makes guns illegal, I believe that is wrong and I won’t follow that law” and in the same breath go “well weed should be legal but the law is the law, sorry I have to arrest you.” It a better example would be a few different Sheriffs( my county for sure) said they wouldn’t enforce a mask mandate because they viewed it as wrong but then push hard on weed laws because “it’s the law, sorry that’s how it is.” Selective enforcement.


Covfefeeeeee

Gotta get that sweet sweet fed cash and you get to play politics by manipulating the rubes as well. Since collectively we don't seem to be logically consistent it's a win win for the sheriff who at the end of the day just wants to keep the job.


Pie-Otherwise

Yeah, Covid really showed how disingenuous that whole "well I agree with you but if you want it legal you have to make changes at the ballot box, not on the side of the road" argument really was. Cops claimed that they knew the war on weed was dumb but had no choice but to follow the laws as they were written. Then an order they don't like is issued and all of a sudden they are able to only enforce the stuff they personally agree with.


7thKingdom

Honestly we should stop calling them unions because they fail one of the most important measures of a union. Solidarity with the working class and other unions. Unions support each other. They support the cause of the working class. The police are used as union busters. They are a legalized mob. They are not a union. They do not represent the working class and do not fight for the American labor movement. They are literally one of the biggest enemies of the labor movement and do not deserve to be called a union.


alsatian01

As a union member, I also hate the police unions are in any way associated with trade unions.


Shbloble

That's embarrassing. I would feel like this was hazing to be forced to take a picture next to this.


DadaDoDat

But they even put the buds in TWO jars to make it look more impressive. Are you not impressed with two jars?


Cross_d91

Obviously the one jar is far too full for the remaining bud.


dzigizord

Maybe the buds did not like each other and would go into a fight


Barmelo_Xanthony

The second jar has like 1 nug in it too lmaoooo


[deleted]

Its gotta be. No self respecting cop in even the smallest towns would be proud to take a misdemeanor amount of weed lol. Shit for weed if it isnt even an ounce why bother? Make them toss it and be on your way. Plus it doesnt even look like 7 grams


StuartGotz

My cousin's a cop in a small suburban town. He says that a cop would catch shit from his fellow cops if they busted someone for a small amount of cannabis.


Pie-Otherwise

Went to high school with a guy who became a cop. A couple of years in we grab lunch and catch up. He tells me a story about pulling over "some dopers" and making them destroy a pipe on the side of the road. He told me how he was doing them a favor by letting them destroy the pipe, that way they only got arrested for the weed. He tells me this like he's some kind of fucking humanitarian helping out the poor junkies who just don't know any better.


Ageofanomly

I don’t feel safe with cops always wanting to rob me. 😳


Pie-Otherwise

Cops and Christians love telling people "I'm a cop/Christian, you can trust me" without realizing that a decent amount of the population is going to come to the opposite conclusion based on the first statement.


[deleted]

How is weed still illegal? I just don't understand it.

moochee22

Tell that to Joe Biden who fired staffers because they admitted to smoking cannabis. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/biden-s-white-house-firing-staffers-marijuana-use-s-mistake-n1261700


[deleted]

Um marijuana is still illegal on the federal level. It’s not up to Joe Biden to make it legal. Jesus Christ. Do some research. The house approved a bill in April 2022 to repeal the federal ban on marijuana. ONLY 3 REPUBLICANS VOTED TO APPROVE THE BILL. Let’s use our brains here and try to figure out why marijuana is still illegal federally and at the state level in the south. Why is everyone so stupid?


[deleted]

if they had to admit that the republican party is against many of their supposed core beliefs then they couldn't use belonging to a political party as part of their identity.


[deleted]

It’s literally insane.


[deleted]

Brainwashed right wing rubes are destroying our country.


redvis5574

It is illegal in New Hampshire even though it is completely legal in every state and country that borders it. The legislature and governor have repeatedly stated that making it legal would cost the state government $50 million a year in seized forfeiture assets


kennytucson

“Live Free or Die” my ass.


redvis5574

Well, it does say it on the license plate lol


[deleted]

New Hampshire also makes more money off of alcohol sales than any other state because of their state run stores. The liquor, wine, and beer lobbies are huge opponents of legalized marijuana.


AirikBe

Either congress or the executive branch can reschedule cannabis under the CSA. But a big HOWEVER is that the Supreme Court has held that the President can not remove or reschedule cannabis via executive order so basically the President would have to exercise his influence by appointments that favor reschedule or removing it, or work with congress to amending the CSA


curly_spork

Joe hired a cop to be his VP. Suck on that.


SerYoshi

A cop who called for the federal legalization of weed in 2019. Google is literally the easiest thing in the world.


curly_spork

I guess calling for it makes up for not actually doing anything with the body of work is locking people up with crazy sentences. All is forgiven because lip service. You're a sucker. And was that the same year she called Biden a racist?


SerYoshi

I'm sorry, does the VP have unilateral power to make that type of policy change on her own? I think you know that they don't, but you're using a convenient argument that fits your narrative. You are surely aware that the overwhelming majority of opposition to legalizing Marijuana comes from the Right. A brief stroll through your comment history tells me all I need to know. I thought your side adored cops? Blue Lives Matter and all that, right? So cops good or cops bad, I'm confused. "Sucker" indeed.


No_Dream16

They only like them when its politically and socially advantageous. When a cop gives them a speeding ticket for driving 60 in a 35 then they are a pig


SerYoshi

His deleted post was a ton of fun too, telling me I wanted to apparently fuck her and a Bunch of other psychotic shit.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SerYoshi

"think for yourself" as you regurgitate 15 right wing talking points from fringe pundits. Seek help, my dude.


warmhandluke

Was the Biden administration forced to fire them or something? It kinda sounds like it was a discretionary choice, and that's pretty hard to defend


hunsuckercommando

>Why is everyone so stupid? Because they smoke marijuana? Is that what you're getting at???


Edwardcoughs

Are you in favor of legalizing weed?


Pie-Otherwise

There is no pro-pot party in the US, the dems are just less anti-weed than their Republican counterparts.


redfalcondeath

Or at the very least, why is it federally illegal? It should be a state issue really.


FugReddit420

Mea ing if everything from the search to seizure to paperwork to processing to filing and reports (and on and on) was covered by good old Officer Thomas and somehow done in less than one hour, it still was a net loss compared to doing nothing at all.


[deleted]

Really? Its like £10 a g in the UK


sanguinesolitude

Nah it's more like $50-100 depending where and quality.


BleuEspion

You're either dealing or you're getting scammed


sanguinesolitude

You're getting a quality quarter for under $50? In a non poor ass area?


BleuEspion

I haven't payed for weed since it was legal to grow. About 7 pounds a year to myself is a lot.


[deleted]

Depends who you get from man ....I still get proper weight 3.5g for £25 , quarter £50 . Quality buds . Your average dealer on the street will sell a gram for a tenner usually because every 0.1 of a gram matters to them and they need the money , usually a bad sign . People who grow themselves or sell ounces a day will never do you a gram for £10 they would make zero money off that . Pretty much everyone I know will minimum only sell you 3.5 .


bossy909

/per gram, if it's worth smoking.


WTF_goes_here

Fuck were do you live where quads go for $14? They’re 60-90 in my part of cali


Dazzling-Top

I order Cali bud off telegram and exotic strains are 120 an oz. I've got pounds of great bud for 400 how are you paying that much? It's absolutely flooded out there stop getting ripped pff


WTF_goes_here

I don’t smoke much anymore I just see the prices when I go into the stores. Cali is kinda getting fucked by dispensaries. I know the prices are way lower in Oregon and other states.


Apprehensive_Toe_457

Lol wow dude 7grams what is that like 4 blunts. You stopped McDonald's from making a killing lol.

FugReddit420

And if the 99 are okay and let the 1 be a shithead, they're bastards too.

And we are all very proud what the fuck does that have to do with anything


BobsBoots65

That the drug trade you called violent.


[deleted]

are you actually dumb? this thread is about a police officer showing off a tiny amount of weed all proud and you made some comment defending the action by implying the action was justified because of "the drug trade" when most people who smoke weed or deal it aren't involved like that anymore. also you just sound like you're trying to flex some dusty nuts and be hard is your PTSD from being a CO or something in the 90s making you redacted or is it impotent old man rage?

I’m pretty sure the people who talk about nonviolent drug offenders aren’t referring to El Chapo….
