Are we incriminating ourselves by discussing our illegal drug use?

has anyone ever heard of someone being charged with getting high or being high. has anyone ever heard of such a charge?...

i am sure we all have heard of the possession, intention to sell, and drug trafficking charges. if it was illegal to get high or be high wouldn't we have heard about people being charged with such an offence?


so i go and look at some criminal codes in the us and sure enough it is illegal to use marijuana. guess i am wrong. still, i have never heard of such an offence and in canada they would never arrest someone or charge someone for that.

i am shocked. i guess i never thought they could stoop so low.

i would still be shocked to hear that someone was charged with smoking marijuana or any drugs.

it seems like a waste of their time to be charging the small time user. they have bigger fish to fry.

this kinda makes me wonder about this forum. doesn't that mean that we are all talking about illegal activities?

 

well, i feel safe. as far as canada is concerned i am right.

so if you live in the states you can not talk about your drug use on this forum because it is illegal to use drugs. but in canada 'The CDSA prohibits the importation, exportation, production, sale, provision and possession of a wide variety of controlled drugs and substances except where permitted by regulations.' but it does not prohibit the use of such drugs. so i can talk about my drug use openly here as it is not an offence. i feel sorry for you americans tho.

the states suck big time. we almost had our laws changed to decriminalize marijuana but because of pressure from the states they leave it as a criminal offence. most cops in canada realize how ridiculous some of these laws are and most will not charge you with marijuana possession. i have had the cops find marijuana on me a few times. one time the cop saw an ounce of weed on my table and asked me if it was medicinal - i said yes so he left if for me. another time the cop took my bag but did not charge me - i was very upset with her - i called her a thief - still no charge. i love canada. too bad we have uptight americans slowing down our progress when it comes to drugs.

 

Use implies possession unless you've perfected getting high telekinetically. Also it has been argued that you possess a drug by nature of its presence inside your bloodstream. Successfully.

 

haha,,, ya right! thats really fucked up. not in canada!

 

the problem that you run into with use is that it is difficult to prove after the fact. even if you had a blood test or urine test done you could argue that someone put it in your food or something. they can not prove without a doubt that you took the drugs willingly unless they have a picture of you doing it. a cops word against yours is not good enough anymore so even if a cop saw you doing it they would have to prove it. law is tricky and soon to be impossible without hard evidence.

 

I think this is a really good question. What is possession? Do you have to buy an evil drug before the rath of justice punishes you? You could be prosecuted for making testosterone in your gonads or adrenal lab that your drug family that you belong to carefully crafted.

Communicating about drug use is completely legal, its not until these communications condense into something "solid" that the judical system sees that you automatically cannot prove your innocence. It is not unlike virus and war, and it will only get worse if we give up our freedom to discuss.

Praise the lord that I'm not in Dolemite's shoes. People typically get busted in association with a no choice non-victimless crime or when (tax-free) money is involved.

 

your post dont mention sales and shit. and shouldnt. Its already common knowledge where to find drugs on the street and who you would likely look to for said drugs Want lsd you would have to imbed yourself in that scene most likely undergroung music/ If you want crack you go to the hood / Comment not ment to stigmatize anyone.
Our experiences should be in this forum disscuss the use. the feeling. the scene itsell.
What we struggle with is being labled like drug pushers and I for one dont see to many people here pushing much of anything.
I honestly think these discussions help us use wisely
