most drug arrests are local, not federal. There are.Certain times when the DEA is involved, but most cases it is local or even state cops. The feds go after big fish and people selling across state lines. Manufacturing and trafficking cases are not the even close into the number of local arrests. They are few in number compared to local cops. So many more people are in local jails and state prisons.THE DEA DOES NOT MAKE NEARLY AS MANY DRUG ARRESTS AS LOCAL AND STATE COPS. Most drug cases are local.I really don't. Your stubborn and tedious, and I really have lost all interest in trying to share knowledge with you. I'm writing this purely for the sake of the forum, nothing to do with you personally. It's a shame you seem closed-minded to what I've been saying, and that you think I care about arguing with you, but whatever.
The feds are really involved in what exactly? Because you're out of your mind if you think the DEA rarely get involved in drug cases.
Why? If you live in the US, then laws in the UK and EU don't affect you, so what point are you making with this?
Ok. And? Same question as above.
You don't know what you're talking about. Federal prison is about 55% drug offenders compared to 17% in the states prison systems, roughly. It isn't the size of the case, it's whether the feds have jurisdiction.
There are also instances in which it is next to impossible to get out from under mandatory minimum sentencing and the vast majority of the time, federal judges stick to the USSG's recommendation for sentencing. When I was sentenced twenty-something years ago, this was not an option.
Hey thanks a lot, @foodcrisis. It's good to know someone appreciates it at least (ahem, @Jnowhere).
Thanks for sharing the link. I had not seen the site until today. Please don't place your faith in those Qtests as though they're really all that accurate. They're not. First, they have you eyeballing the process of cutting a tab in half. Then later you're expected to visually identify the shade of blue in the solution and correlate it subjectively to a color-coded legend of drug concentration. What a crock of shit. This industry is so shysty.
Fortunately, LSD doesn't have any kind of sharp incline into lethal dose territory, so there's not much worth worrying about on that front. LSD is relatively safe when used as directed.
My point was The UK seems to be going in the opposite direction of the rest of Europe on drugs(except Scotland) AM I not allowed to complain? I hear about the rest of Europe and then here about arrests and crackdown on drugs in the UK. Do I need your permission to make that comment. I don't. And from people on here I have learned about the UK.
THE DEA IS SMALL COMPARED TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ARE INVOLVED IN BIG CASES. THE DEA DOESN'T USUALLY GET PEOPLE FOR SIMPLE POSSESSION FOR PERSONAL USE. WHICH MAKES UP THE BULK OF ARRESTS! THE DEA ONLY REALLY HAS JURISDICTION IN CERTAIN CASES.
There are far fewer federal prisons and they hand out tougher sentences and make people usually serve most of their sentence.
So many drug cases do not involve prison. First time offenders with possession may get no time or the county jail.
AGAIN WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GET OFF TELLING ME I CAN'T COMMENT ON THE UK BEING TOUGHER ON DRUGS THAN OTHER EUROPEAN NATIONS? I WAS TRYING TO SAY THAT BOTH COUNTRIES ARE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
MOST DRUG CASES DO NOT INVOLVE THE DEA. OH NO HE HAS A $10 BAG OF DOPE CALL IN THE FEDS.
You are just trying to troll me.
